Can't decide, so gonna list my three favorites!

  • Solo trip to Svalbard/Spitsbergen in the summer of 2017. Was there for a bit over a week, did several hiking trips, and a few boat trips. Spotted several polar bears in the wild, saw baby birds learning to fly and jumping off a mountain, and just generally beautiful and surreal views everywhere. So much of it is untouched nature - no paths, no cabins, no houses, no cars, no planes, no people. Everything was just quiet except for the sound of birds, foxes, and other wild animals.

  • My trip to Kerala (India) in the winter of 2018. My friend invited us to her wedding there. My fiancΓ©e and I went two weeks early and spent the first part of our trip traveling around and doing a 4-day hiking trip 🀩 We're quite used to hiking long distances in Norway, but completely underestimated how challenging it would be in 30-40 degrees celsius. Very much worth it though.

  • This year's hiking trip in Lofoten, northern Norway. Must be one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. Because of corona we couldn't travel outside of our country, so we rented a car and did a roadtrip from Oslo to Lofoten (24h drive if you'd drive non-stop, we used 5 days driving up along the coastline, with lots of stops to camp and hike along the way), then stayed there for around 10 days - driving and hiking around. There weren't that many people since we went before most Norwegians take their holidays, so most hikes (aside from 2 popular ones) we didn't see any other people. Great way to practice social distancing imo.

I am so mind-blown right now. The second last photo is my favorite. Absolutely stunning! Looks to me like you have the soul of an adventurer. Cheers to that. 🍻

Glad you liked Kerala, btw! It is indeed beautiful. :D
