During the viking age (the period from 793 AD to 1066 AD) in Vestfold cities were established and a new civilisation grew strong and stronger. The viking history isn’t just a brutal one, with raids and Conquest as one usually thinks of. They were also great explorers and traders. West […]
Personally I love the fashion from the 60s and 70s. I also love the idea of buying second hand, since beeing the «green-hippie-freak-nature-lover» that I am.

Bøkeskogen in Larvik was founded as a landscape protection area in 1980 to preserve one of Norways classic beech forrests. It is also Norways largest beech forest.

Trylleskoven, in English: The Magic Forest, is in Solrød a town south of Copenhagen. It’s called The Magic Forest because if all the weird twist and turns the trees do. Why they grow this way is strange. I didn’t find some of the weirdest looking trees that I remember from a couple of years back. […]

This is not a good thing, this is S. Marcescens and you can read more about it here>>> I also want to stay away from harmful chemicals and products that hurts […]
Another home city is Copenhagen. I really love this town, and it’s one of my favourite capitals. When I’m back here, it always makes me so proud to be a dane. On this map of Central Copenhagen I added numbers, so you’ll know where to find the shops I recommend. 1. Time`s Up (Krystalgade 4) […]
