War chest filled. VISA approved. Gear dialed in, Tickets booked. Wrapping up work. The juggle was real, but I’m finally there! Let’s get this (voluntary) homelessness started! Just 2 weeks ago I was cruising through the Sierra Nevada (the Spanish one) with a friend that came over for the week and we were about to…

After a small detour I entered the Jotunheimen National Park area and decided I would walk the Bessegen Ridge, A famous -you guessed it- ridge hike that runs all the way along a large lake. It was a beautiful sunny day, blue skies and barely any wind. Quite rare conditions for Norway. So I thought…

Next stop: Jotunheimen National Park! A new chapter in the Norwegian mountains. But not without an unexpected detour first. After avoiding countless sheep just chillin’ on the road and some cows blissfully unaware of what a ‘car’ or ‘road’ is, I arrived at a parking spot without grilled hamburgers or kebab. It was located near…

I just arrived at Ottadalen and found a nice place to park my van for the night. It happened to be a beautiful site with a gorgeous view over the valley. The weather was changing by the hour so I was going in-and-out of my van. But I was able to enjoy a nice coffee…

Moving into Norway the nice, almost-alpine landscapes greeted me. Slowly however the mountains numbed down and fjords started appearing. I was nearing Trondheim, the most northern city in Norway that has something that resembles a high-way. Anything further north and you’re bound to 80km/h roads. Which isn’t a bad thing at all, given the views….

So now I’m all by myself and to further distance myself from humans I decided I would go for a multi-day solo-hike at Fulufjället National Park, which lies at the Norwegian border. Part of the park is even located IN Norway. The main attraction is Sweden’s highest waterfall. Prepare Prepare Prepare… Since Lisanne had already…

So, where were we…? Oh yeah, so shortly after our first camping trip we made a big jump to the north and drove to the ‘Nötön-Åråsviken‘ Nature reserve. The reserve is located in a bay of the Vänern lake, Sweden’s largest lake. We drove along the shore right around sunset. So of course we had…

Okay, so It’s been a loooong time since I updated you on my activities, so here’s what I’ve been up to! When Lisanne and I left our first camping spot in Sverige we drove up north towards our destination (the farm) and landed on a spot along a lake. We decided to leave our vans…

One thing I very much appreciate is a beautiful sunset. They give a sense of peace and stillness as the environment around it quiets down. This of course doesn’t happen in our busy city-lives. Most sunsets that have happened in my life have gone unnoticed. I’ve probably only seen a couple hundred, out of the…
