Unafjordable Norway

“But things worked out. Everything works out. Though sometimes they work out sideways.” K. Hamsun – The Ring is Closed

Pick Svalbard: 78 degrees North for stories from the realm of the polar bears or read about my adventures in Troll land.

Have you ever wondered what Jesus's childhood was

Have you ever wondered what Jesus's childhood was like before he became the famous miracle worker? 🙏 Now, I'm personally not religious, but today's #erraticbookwednesdays recommendation is Lamb: The Gospel according to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal by Christopher Moore. It's a humorous, somewhat absurd book, where Biff is resurrected in the 20th century and ordered to write down his account of the missing years of Jesus's life under the watchful eye of angel Raziel, who has a weakness for chocolate and TV. 📺 While Jesus (or Joshua) displays godlike powers and maturity well beyond his years from the start, Biff is your typical rowdy teenager full of stupid ideas, so the pair get up to all sorts of adventures while Jesus learns to become the Messiah. Even if you are religious, this book is actually not insulting to the figure of Jesus in any way, unless you categorically object to the idea that he might have been a young boy with a crazy best friend once. 🤷‍♀️ In that case, don't read, but otherwise it's a great bit of satirical fun, although there are some swear words in there if you're sensitive to that. 📚

Summer vibes and books! 🍹Last week lounagia wan

Summer vibes and books! 🍹Last week lounagia wanted a silly, light summer read in the comments, and for me it doesn't get much sillier or funnier than Terry Pratchett. So, today's #erraticbookwednesdays recommendation is Wyrd Sisters, one from his Discworld series. 🐢 Featuring three witches trying to put the right king (who is also entirely wrong for it) on the throne, it's one of his best books in my opinion. It also contains one of my favourite literary characters: Granny Weatherwax, a snarky old witch with anger issues. 🧙‍♀️
Pratchett's works never disappoint with their deeper meanings, hilarious characters, ironic social commentary and Easter egg pop culture references in a medieval fantasy setting, but this one goes a step beyond that and is also a satire on classic storytelling and Shakespeare's works. 😅
It will probably have you laughing out loud even if you're generally not into fantasy books. At least I hope so, because I'm a huge geek and I can't help myself. 🤷‍♀️ #noshame

Here's a very uncomfortable me sitting in a net 24

Here's a very uncomfortable me sitting in a net 24 meters above ground. 🤨 On today's #sundaytravelquestions in my stories we talked about solo travel, which is another thing that tends to make people uncomfortable. ✈️ So, I've got a series of real talk posts planned over the next week to give you an impression of what solo travel is really like, from my perspective obviously. Hopefully it will help you decide if you want to try it out or not (which is OK too!). First intro part is already up, link in bio. 👆Who here has travelled alone before? #tableforoneplease 👣

So, yesterday I published a new post about my favo

So, yesterday I published a new post about my favourite Swedish tradition: #fika - the conscious act of taking the time for a coffee break with something sweet, but then I forgot to share it on social media. 🤦‍♀️ Here's a solution though, go subscribe to my blog! Link in bio. 🤓 What's your drug, tea or coffee? Mine is both. ☕
