What is so cool about Norway?

What is so cool about Norway...What makes it so energizing to live here? This is what makes it for me. First of all : fresh air to breathe...Secondly : the mountains, the sea shore, the fjords.
The nature here is amazing: adventurous and healing. Did you ever notice how half an hour out in nature "solves everything" ?

What I also like, is the finishing of work at 4pm. Acctually I do see traffic jam sometimes already at 3.30...True , people do get up quite early, but hey, if you have some extra hours in the afternoon....great!!!! Here you can even see the boss going at 4 to pick up his/her child at nursery. I already experience some better quality of life even after only 2 months since our reptariation from London. Being able to eat dinner together as a family is one. Not having to postpone things to the weekend but have some spare hours in the afternoon is already great.
And this is from a lady who LOVES London...but for other reasons.

Before leaving I had a feeling that going back to Scandinavia with my little family was the right thing to do...after many-oh-many discussions on what to do....And coming over and still feeling that this was really the right thing feels even better. We based the decision on our values. The values of nature, freedom and good health. It was not based on the value of adventure...but hey, adventure just jumped in...as it does in life....

What are the reasons you live where you live??? Curious tho hear your stories.

Love & sunshine from inside (outside is pouring rain...)

First days in Norway

At the core of things


We landed...We are in Norway now, Stavanger to be precise...YEAH !!!!! We are EXACTLY where we are "supposed" to be...Feels good breathing fresh air, playing in the sand dunes in Sola Beach, taking walks and exploring the area around lake Stokka....I realize so much that when we are true to our core things flow...I feel true to the one in me who has been craving for nature...:-)

What is in your core???
