NORWAY | Sun, 27 Mar 2016 | By wanderlustgail | Views [625] | Comments [2]

March’s full moon accompanied me on the last leg of my arrival in Norway, hovering just over the wing of the plane from Oslo to Tromsø and giving me my first view of the country. In the south, there was only patchy snow on the watery land, ... Read more >

Struggling to write this as I'm sitting in my hostel bed with no sheets because an American girl stole my bed and blankets (She literally looks like the headmaster from Matilda, breathes like a dragon and I am just not going near her). AND if that isn't ... Read more >

NORWAY | Sun, 22 Feb 2015 | By jgreghenry | Views [591]

Tax, Visas, Immigration, Bureaucratic Red Tape and other Certainties

NORWAY | Sun, 1 Jun 2014 | By moresbbb | Views [854]

A recent interaction with the UK’s HM Revenue and customs has reignited my underlying sense of contempt for bureaucratic organisations. It seems that no matter how far and wide you travel there are a few certainties: Whatever new country ... Read more >

FINLAND | Fri, 5 Jul 2013 | By mrniles | Views [244]

Its uncanny how when you stand at the bottom of the well, and look up at the sky, during the day time,...and the stars are visible. Its a scientific fact that the tunnel effect of the walls of the well act as a natural telescope and light diffuser. This ... Read more >

Feeling the Fear in the Arctic Tundra

NORWAY | Fri, 2 Mar 2012 | By jchesters | Views [267]

Feel the fear, but do it anyway. This is about how I felt “the fear” but said screw it, and spent 5 days in the Arctic wilderness of Norway, driving a pack of huskies across the tundra. It’s an often-repeated mantra, but it has become ... Read more >

Fjords Galore!

NORWAY | Sun, 16 May 2010 | By neil_loewen | Views [807]

I left Copenhagen after two days there, and set my sights on Sweden.  It was kind of a big deal to cross the bridge from Denmark to Sweden (longest in the world?), because I had seen it on Discovery Channel many times!  We left Copenhagen, on our way ... Read more >

The midnight sun....apparently

NORWAY | Thu, 31 Jul 2008 | By nadscol | Views [710]

After another ridiculously long drive we reached our northernmost base camp in Norway, Olderfjord. A pretty basic campsite with cabins, confusing washing machines and a whopping great souvenir shop. Go figure.   Here we were in reindeer country.... Read more >

"Dumbarse", Hell, and freezing my bits off!

NORWAY | Tue, 29 Jul 2008 | By nadscol | Views [806] | Comments [1]

  As we head north it was starting to get a tad chillier – I suppose that happens when you head above the Arctic Circle. One of the lovely little towns we happened to travel through was Dombas, or dumbarse to us. For no particular reason other ... Read more >

NORWAY | Mon, 21 Jul 2008 | By nadscol | Views [661]

Boring title I know but what else can I say? Norway was quite simply the most beautiful place that I have ever been in my entire life. To be honest before we got to Norway I didn’t know what to expect. All I knew about Norway were brief spiels from ... Read more >
