It's difficult to imagine a "start" when they're all Finnish here in Finland, locally called Suomi. Norway and I have unfinished business as I hope to go there again next year. Svalbard, Bergen, the Lofoten Islands, Vardo, and Kirkenes are all on my ... Read more >

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 >

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 >

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 >

My journey northward continues as my internal compass needle continues to point north. I'm on my way to visit my friend Monica who lives outside of Narvik but I still had a lot of ground to cover as it's a long way from Ålesund to Narvik. Norway ... Read more >

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 >

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 >

FAROE ISLANDS | Sunday, 2 Jun 2024 | Views [481]
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 >

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 >

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 >

Kolkata, which was once Calcutta, is India's former capital. It is where the flag of India was first raised by Mahatma Gandhi in 1947. Whilst you don't come to India for its cities, Kolkata is vastly more attractive than Delhi as it's noticeably greener, ... Read more >

Indian train journeys are an adventure like no other. Trains are often late, usually by several hours, or cancelled altogether. When they're running normally they're more like travel by plane elsewhere. I opted for the train from Delhi to Kolkata as ... Read more >
