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…

Exploring Stavanger, Norway

The city of Stavanger is an interesting one.  Located at nearly the same latitude as the Orkney Islands in Scotland, it's situated on the inward side of a large peninsula on the southwestern coast of Norway.  The city …

Hiking Preikestolen The “Preacher’s Pulpit” in Norway

For years I'd seen photos of a stunning rock cliff face that leaned out over a massive fjord.  The sheer majesty of the formation and the presence it conveyed - even in photos - captivated me.  I knew at some point I'd…

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…

Oslo Continued – Local Food and Playing in the Park

Exploring Oslo – Longships, Vikings and Stave Churches

The sight that greeted my bleary eyes was a frustrating one. I silently cursed myself for not spending more time taking photos of the city the night before. The previous evening's blue sky had been replaced by a solid,…

Oslo Norway – Vikings, Embassies and Old Friends

The ride to the airport was uneventful. For 6 Euro, a shuttle service picked me up at my hostel proving the anxiety that I'd had over catching an early morning bus on a quiet Sunday unnecessary. As the shuttle meand…

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 The Essential Book of Danish Sayings, 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.
