Goodbye Norway, Hello Denmark!

Excited for the next leg of my adventure I woke up with a spring to my step. It was cold and rainy, but given my mood, I found it more invigorating than anything.  I'd picked up a cheap youth ticket for 693 NOK (about $110 at the time) via the regional budget airline Wideroe.   While I had initial…

Bergen Bound – A Ferry, Fjords and Fresh Adventure

There's a sensation that every traveler is intimately familiar with.  It's that lump in your throat, that nagging dull roar in the back of your mind and the slight quickening of breath as stale adrenaline oozes out your pores.  It's the sensation of uncertainty...of adventure yet to be decided.  W…

Wandering in Oslo, Norway

My final day in Oslo was spent meandering the city's cobblestone streets, wandering through the old harbor, and resting lazily in the park reading my book.   I'd paused at the local rail station during the previous day…

In 2007 I set out on a three-month solo trip through Europe, in 2011 I re-located to Copenhagen. I’ve been authoring VirtualWayfarer ever since with a focus on sharing stories, musings, and advice through a visually and narrative rich format. I’m also the author of Practical Curiosity: The Guide to Life, Love & Travel and the inventor of the MistDefender lens cloth.

I document my travels on a Sony A7RV and iPhone 16Pro.
