VIDEO: Wonderful West Cork along the Wild Atlantic Way

You’d think that after finishing the 2500 kilometer bike ride along the Wild Atlantic Way almost two months ago I’d be done with the posts about Ireland, but think again. While I might have gone overboard with some image posts from West Cork (is 33 images going overboard?), there’s been […]

Holiday Close to Home: Escape to the Norwegian Mountains

by Satu Vänskä-Westgarth October 28, 2014

There’s something quirky about Norwegian mountain hotels, fjellhoteller. They are often bit worn, not very sleek and when it comes to individual rooms, the emphasis has not been in making them so inviting that you’d like to disappear under your duvet for a day or two with a remote control in one […]

Although right now I’m sitting in front of my kitchen table with a hot cup of tea and my laptop here in Norway, with the sunny autumnal views begging me to go outside and forget all about office work, I wanted to go on a quick trip back to Ireland and […]
