War! What War?

UKRAINE | Tuesday, 23 Jul 2024 | Views [119]

This may sound like I'm insane, but I'm in Ukraine. The war in Ukraine has been going on for more than two years but I've been here two days and you'd never believe that there was a war at all as I stroll around Lviv. Getting through the border was a ... Read more >

My whirlwind journey through the Baltic States continues. Estonia is in the books, and I'm now in Riga. Last night I arrived from Tallinn after a relatively easy hitchhiking journey (which included being picked up by two gorgeous blonde ladies), and ... Read more >

Nordkapp

NORWAY | Saturday, 29 Jun 2024 | Views [22]

For the longest time, or I should almost say that since the beginning of my travels, I've had a disdain for tourist traps. Some places I've ended up at are popular for a reason, but others are popular simply because. I set out from Mehamn yesterday; ... Read more >


True North

NORWAY | Thursday, 27 Jun 2024 | Views [29]

This European journey hasn't gone the way I originally planned it. Nothing bad has happened but the rest of Scandinavia wasn't originally on my radar. My "internal compass" as I call it guided me to go north, and as far north as I could possibly go. ... Read more >

Norwegian Cuisine in the Midnight Sun

NORWAY | Saturday, 22 Jun 2024 | Views [61]

Blue sky awaited me this morning after a bad dream about a friend. After so many days of rain and dark clouds, the sun was shining and it was warm out. Monica made Norwegian waffles this morning. Unlike their Belgian counterparts, they have a soft texture ... Read more >

Art Nouveau, Ålesund

NORWAY | Monday, 17 Jun 2024 | Views [34]

A land of art nouveau! In the first ever guidebook I glanced at about Norway, I noticed a city perched on a peninsula surrounded by blue sky and about the most spectular setting ever. Ålesund is where I had to be. I would often gaze at that ... Read more >

NORWAY | Friday, 14 Jun 2024 | Views [36]

My Year 4 (4th grade) teacher started drawing some rings on the chalkboard and then asked us to guess what she was referring to. When she got to the second ring, I raised my hand and said "the Olympics." The 1994 Winter Olympics are the first Olympics ... Read more >

As Denmark's fourth largest city and the birthplace of Jorn Utzon, designer of the Sydney Opera House, Aalborg is a captivating place. When I arrived in Hirtshals yesterday I really felt like crap as I had a hangover. I partied hard on the ferry with ... Read more >

Faroes Passion

FAROE ISLANDS | Sunday, 2 Jun 2024 | Views [58]

Last night I had a Faroese night, with this morning having woke up with a hangover after a few at the pub and then some at home. It was bucketing down rain this morning so it was a great opportunity for a lie-in. Chivalrous to the last as always, I wouldn't ... Read more >


Whaling

FAROE ISLANDS | Saturday, 1 Jun 2024 | Views [127]

It looks like the opening scene from Saving Private Ryan. Whaling is practiced on a subsistence rather than on a commercial basis here in the Faroe Islands. It's mostly pilot whales and occasionally dolphins that are hunted. Pilot whales aren't listed ... Read more >


Fiskafrikadella

FAROE ISLANDS | Friday, 31 May 2024 | Views [22]

Try saying that 10 times fast. If I could wake up every day to the view of a fjord with the sound of lapping waves, I would likely be content...until I get itchy feet again. My time in the Faroe Islands is short but the days and my list of things to ... Read more >


Torshavn...and All Around

FAROE ISLANDS | Thursday, 30 May 2024 | Views [39]

Early I had a gorgeous view as I was ready to take the Faroe Islands by storm (albeit without the storm) and see and do as much as possible within these majestic islands. I had originally hoped to spend two weeks in the Faroes and go to every main island ... Read more >


Føroyar

FAROE ISLANDS | Wednesday, 29 May 2024 | Views [41]

Known locally as Føroyar, the Faroe Islands have just planted a seed in my heart. After travelling to so many places and for so many years, I often wonder if I can still find new places that make my mouth drop in awe. The Faroe Islands did ... Read more >

What do a large breed of dog and Hans Christian Andersen have in common? They’re both Great Danes. Last night I arrived in Denmark on a ferry that was basically a floating duty-free shop. Whilst in Germany I used the Deutschland Ticket, in Denmark ... Read more >
