Tigers

My Chinese star sign is a Tiger. Having always had cats and loved them my entire life, it falls quite naturally that I should love tigers too.

During my travels I will eventually end up in Thailand. There is this temple just outside of Bangkok called Tiger Temple. This is a place where monks live with a bunch of tigers and protect them and take care of them. Tourist are allowed to come see some of the tigers and monks and even pet some of the them too (only the tigers, not the monks) ;-)

I really can't wait to get a chance to go there and see the tigers.

Wish List

Sometimes you need some motivation in life to get you through the day, a ruff patch or even a few months. Having something to look forward to has always helped me get through things in life.

Right now all I ever think about is my backpacking trip and everything I need to get before I can go. I have made a small wish list with things I need and things I don't need but would very much like to have. :-)

What do you do to motivate yourself?

                


These two watches are from Swatch's Full Blooded collection, they are absolutely amazing!! If I could I would combine these 2 and have the red one with the black skull. That would be the watch for me! Now the problem is that I need to decide which one I should get.

Here we have one of the not so necessary items on my list, but if I would find one cheaply somewhere I might get one of these phones that I have been against for so long. Still can't write a single text message on them, however it would come in handy on the trip.

The backpack is a must! The backpack will be my new best friend and my dearest possesion, can't wait to be able to go to some stores and start trying them on and get my very own backpack!

Last but not least, Ray Ban Aviators. Is there even a need to describe how incredibly good-looking these sunglasses are!? 

Animals

Animals here up north can act in rather peculiar ways.
Think it might be the lack of daylight during the winter and lack of darkness during the summer. 

About a month ago Patricia woke me up at 6 in the morning as we had 3 moose in the garden! They were just standing around chilling not paying us much attention. I would have never thought that moose could be so calm being around people.

Never have I ever seen cats gather in this manner 

Gymspiration

One positive thing about being in northern Norway in the middle of nowhere is all the spare time I have. With all this extra time and nothing to do, the gym has become my new hang out.

Patricia and I have become the newest addition of gym bunnies in Finnsnes. We have set some goals for ourselves ( some are somewhat unrealistic ). However knowing that we are going to be spending a considerable amount of time on the beach this summer, we want to look good!

Here I have a small collection of inspirational (gymspirational) pictures.

What do you all think? Hot or Not?

Itinerary

For everyone who is curious and wants to know where I am going to be in the near future, here comes my itinerary.


May 29th
Flying from Finnsnes to Copenhagen with Patricia
Then taking the train over to Sweden to meet our families there


Spending a little over a week in southern Sweden seeing all my Swedish friends and family!


June 6th or 7th (haven't really decided when yet)
Flying from Copenhagen to London
Will be in London getting ready for my backpacking tour and seeing everyone that I haven't seen for almost 6 months!
I am sure I will act like a proper tourist wanting to see everything and taking pictures of everything! Have missed London so incredibly much since I have been stuck here in northern Norway.


June 15th
Flying to Bali :)








I will be going from this.....

To this.....

Guess who is excited!! :)

Norway

Being in Norway has been interesting. 

The nature around here is amazing, however I have come to realise that I am a city girl through and through! I need the car fumes and the load noises, the crazy people and the public transportation. Sometimes its so quiet here the only thing you can hear is your own breathing and your own footsteps

This was the sunrise and sundown that happened at the same time in January

The First Post

Those of you who know me, know that I am not much of a writer. However, in preparation for my travels, I have decided to start blogging. Lets see how many are going to end up reading this! :)

So you might wonder where I will be going. I am leaving on a jet plane with a oneway ticket to Bali. That is really the only certain part of my plan so far. I know which countries I want to go to, I just don't know when or how I will end up there. It does add to the excitement of heading off to SE Asia backpacking by oneself.

I know I have started my stories rather early since the adventure doesn't start until the end of May. It is just so exciting I can't help myself and just need to start something to make the time feel like its going a little faster and little closer until this excruciating wait is over.
