Help Yourself: More Reasons to at least Like Norway

by Satu Vänskä-Westgarth August 20, 2012

After a great sunny weekend, it is good to be in love with Norway, over and over again. But if I’m painting too rosy a picture for you (just like last week), check this space in October/November: the time of year when the summer is definitely over, but winter has quite […]

The Best of the Best in Norway. And Then Some.

Lonely Planet published recently their Top 17 Experiences in Norway and on starting to read the article I nervously began calculating how many of these things had I seen or done. Was I missing out on something BIG!? Maybe there was something I had never even heard of!? Yeah, ticking “must […]

Roadtripping with Baby: Destination Sweden

by Satu Vänskä-Westgarth August 6, 2012
