From the Pale Blue Dot
This story begins about almost nine months ago, on December 31st, 2019. I had a small group of friends over for the holiday, and at some point we started planning our 2020 trips. The year before (December 31st, 2018) we had talked about going to NY. But since some of them were still settling down…

Andorra La Vella
When I first started planning this trip I first made the decision to go to Barcelona, from Trondheim. And then, I made the mistake of opening Google Maps to see what was in the surroundings. Getting there from Barcelona I took the Alsa bus, which was the strike one on the list of things to…

Walking through the clouds in Montserrat
Ok, I think we have established by now that I am TERRIBLE on keeping this blog updated. Today is May 28th, 2020 and I’m still writing about my last trip that started on September last year. I have started writing this post a million times already and the longer it takes the harder it is…

Barcelona – Day 3
Day 1 Day 1 in Barcelona was actually day 3 since I got here on the Saturday 19th, but didn’t actually do anything. Day 2 I went to Girona and Figueres, so it’s day 3 of the third part of the trip and day 42 since I left Canada. After spending the day before in…
