Secluded Surfing Paradise of Norway

by Satu Vänskä-Westgarth October 9, 2013

Ever thought of surfing in Norway? Me neither. I always thought that surfing is for the tropics, or at least for places with similar temperatures to Portugal only, but when my husband said “let’s go somewhere new”, I replied with “let’s go surfing on the west coast”. My friend told […]

It is only two days since I visited Gamle Strynefjellsveg, one of Norway’s eighteen National Tourist Routes here in the blog, and here we are again. On the same dirt road proceeding slow, when not on the side of this mainly single lane track to snap images with both my […]

Life in the Happiest Country of the World

Road Tripping through Norway via Instagram: What Not to Miss

by Satu Vänskä-Westgarth July 25, 2013
