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's walking tour and picked up a discount reservation for an overnight train from…

Exploring Oslo – Longships, Vikings and Stave Churches

Martian Landscapes, Barren Desert and Old Bridges

When I left you last I'd just wrapped up a delightful evening exploring Flagstaff and begun my first American Hostel experience.  The following morning I woke up early, washed up and made a quick call to connect with Noelle who was the friend of a friend I'd met the evening before and was eager to…

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.
