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 …
While in Budapest, we visited an amazing and unique museum. 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 …
I sommer besøkte jeg stedet til Gaia- arkitekten Rolf Jacobsen, en av norges fremste halmhusbyggere. Jeg hadde lenge tenkt på å ta turen dit, blant annet fordi jeg hadde lest boka hans tidligere kone Marianne Leisner hadde skrevet for en god del år tilbake, Villrosene – permakultur i hagen. En veldig bra bok i mine …

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 …
Fantoft stavkirke står i Bergen og er en rekonstruksjon av den beryktede kirken som brant ned i 1992. Opprinnelig var den reist i Fortun i Sogn i 1150, før den ble flyttet og ombygd i 1883, og man kan tydelig se at det var med Borgund stavkirke som inspirasjon. Jeg må si at Borgund er …
