The county of Vestfold (south of Oslo) has a long history with vikings. 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. Even though I might not have that glamorous Dita Von Teese-look, or totally embrace everything old, I do support these stores. Here are my favourites in Oslo, all of them are […]
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. Bøkeskogen has some places were it looks like something out of the The Lord of the Rings. You almost want to go look for elves. Since 1800th hundreds Bøkeskogen has been a natural gathering […]

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) […]
