When we heal the Earth, we heal ourselves.
Most of us have heroes or people they look up to in life. For me, it is mostly people who lead the way towards a more green, beautiful and sustainable future. Ever since I discovered Simon Dale with his self-built hobbit house in 2007, he’s been the kind of person I highly admire, and I …

For a couple of years we’ve joined the new and quite small christmas market at Trøndelag folk museum. It is a cozy open air museum located close to where I grew up. It consists of a large area with a collection of old buildings, located around a hill around the ruins of an old fortress …

Just before christmas we got to visit the christmas market at Stiklestad, which is an open air folk museum with all kinds of old norwegian buildings. They also have a section with reconstructed viking houses. Most of the other houses are old, and were moved to the museum to show off how people lived and …

It’s called The Museum of Applied Arts (Iparművészeti Múzeum) and is housed in one of the most representative Hungarian Art Nouveau buildings. Traditional Hungarian design elements merged with Islamic and Hindu motifs along with Art Noveau influence characterize the building. The museum, designed by architect …

Siden sist jeg var der, har det kommet opp et gigantisk byggverk på Borre, nemlig en gildehall. Hallene var ikke boliger, men festsaler for eliten der politiske og religiøse seremonier fant sted. På Borre har det blitt funnet spor av minst tre store bygninger fra vikingtiden som er tolket som haller. Ingen haller har overlevd …
Nå er det virkelig på tide å dele bildene fra forrige sommers eventyr i Budapest! Det var ikke så mange dager vi var der, men vi rakk å oppleve en god mengde magiske ting. Noe av det jeg hadde sett mest frem til å se var Fisherman’s Bastion. Det er en slags neogotisk festning bygget i lys stein eller …
Favorittprogrammet mitt på tv er Der ingen skulle tru at nokon kunne bu. Selv om jeg ikke har tv og heller ikke pleier å se på nett- tv, har jeg likevel prøvd å få med meg akkurat dette i løpet av alle disse årene 😉 Et av de tidlige programmene som gjorde inntrykk på meg, …

Last summer I spent a few days in Budapest, the capital of Hungary. We couchsurfed there for a few days after having spent 1-2 weeks in the Hungarian countryside, travelling together with my partner Ruben and my fellow blogger @gaiadottir. I always look for old buildings, castles and especially Art Nouveau when visiting a new …
When we visited Budapest in Hungary, the highlight of those days were probably Vajdahunyad Castle. A beautiful disney-esque castle encapsulated by the city, surrounded by some kind of river and lake. Complete with a moat! Vajdahunyad Castle is not super old, but were built in 1896 and was designed to feature copies of several landmark …
