Mauritius is a very small island outside eastern Africa. The island is to be found in the middle of the ocean, completely isolated from neighbors. Mauritius is still a quite unknown traven destination, even though more and more tourists find their way to the island. We spent two weeks on the island and had a rental to be able to discover as much as possible of the country. When people travel to ...
New Zealand – North island
A couple of years ago me and my boyfriend went to New Zealand on a month-long roadtrip. Since I have about a billion photos and a lot of tips, I will divide the New Zealand travel story into two parts, the first being about the north island and the second about the south island. We arrived to NZ on New Year's Eve and because of the holidays we had to spend the first three days in Auckland ...
Quinoa porridge with vanilla
Today we woke up by the sound of rain pouring down outside or bedroom window. The snow is melting as quickly as an icecream in the sun and that lovely Christmas feeling from last week is almost gone. This grey and rainy weather did however match my spirit today. I’ve been working out too much lately (in too cold weather) and because of that gotten some sort of tension in the lower abdominals ...
Oven-roasted smoky chickpeas
If you have followed me here on the blog or on Instagram for a while, you’ve probably noticed that I’m quite obsessed with toppings. On oatmeal, salads, soups and slices of bread – toppings work fine on everything, believe me. We have a kitchen drawer filled of jars with legumes, seeds, nuts, nut butters and tahini. I stand with my head in the drawer, botanizing, drooling (probably) and ...
Italy – Sicily
Italy Sicily | The Nordic Kitchen I’ve not seen enough of Italy, that’s for sure. Together with my boyfriend, I went to Sicily and the small town Cefalu a few years ago. I loved it! The pasta tastes just as much better as you think it should and the language is just as ”singing” as you imagine. Come with me on a week-long journey to this wonderful island and maybe you'll get an idea what your next ...
Norway
Both me and my boyfriend like to spend time outdoors and a few years ago we decided to go on a hiking trip to Norway. After many hours of scrolling through Pinterest and Google we found our destination - Aurlandsdalen, which is only a few hours away from Bergen. We decided to go on a hike from Vassbygdi to Finse, making stops in Österbö, Steinbergdalen and Geiterrygghytta along the way. So, in the ...
Greece
Greece is indeed one of my favorite countries. As a kid, I spent a lot of time on the Greek islands and I’m happy that I got to see so much of this wonderful country before it became so adapted for tourists. Anyway, when you come to Greece you know you are in Greece. The narrow streets, the white houses with blue doors, the orange trees, the smell of olives, fresh Greek salads everywhere, ...
