THE MILE HIGH CLUB: The Return


Well here we are again. Travel time. I’m leaving Norway after another nice Easter holiday. How cool is this? I'm blogging from 10 000 meters / 36 000 ft! COOL! Norwegian <3

 It was very nice to see most of my family, I got a massive family, and friends. Even though it can be a tiny bit stress trying to cram that many visits into three weeks, I still love it. I also got to earn some money at Rimi (grocery store), so basically my visit didn’t cost me a penny. As usual I didn’t do half the amount of uni work I intended to do, but hey it’s a holiday. Just means I have to work hard over the next couple of weeks.

I do love coming home. It’s so weird seeing all the changes and also all the things that haven’t changed. I think it’s so fun just sitting watching Norwegian TV because I don’t have that much access to it in the UK. Especially commercials, so fun.


I love riding Flytoget/Airport Express train with its 170 kph / 100 mph (from outside the capitol), so nice and quick. Highspeed <3

It’s now about 8 weeks until I’m back in Norway for the summer break. Hopefully I’ll be earning loads of dough, which always comes handy. During the Easter I’ve applied to several media related jobs next to my Rimi position. Four places turned me down, but two places put me on their freelance list. So cross your fingers and toes for me. Also I’m planning on working on Mela festival in Oslo which I did last summer too. And whatever else comes my way.



When I was leaving now it had started to snow again… The picture you see above is from my good friend Christine (check out her blog here - Norwegian). But I’m not the slightest worried about my flight. After all we are Norwegians/Vikings. Since Oslo Airport opened in 1998, only 3-5 flight has been cancelled due to snow. Heathrow cancelled over 2500 flights in 2010 because of snow… (Learned that on Top Gear) That’s absolutely ridiculous.

As always, today’s song is Kelly Clarkson’s Breakaway. Which, for those of you that don’t know, are the words tattooed on my right foot. I always listen to that song when I leave home or come home. Love it!
