If you find yourself in Oslo, Norway on a Sunday and you’re looking for somewhere interesting to wander, consider the Blå Sunday Market in the Grünerløkka neighborhood. It’s not terribly easy to find, so get your maps in order beforehand, and don’t count on asking a local where to find it (the ones we talked…

Why I Didn’t Like Las Vegas
Something about me: I don’t drink alcohol. I don’t have a righteous meaning behind that; I just don’t enjoy the flavor, the cost, or how I feel when I drink. I’ve never had more than two drinks in a sitting, because I usually get a headache pretty quickly and then decide it’s just not worth…
On Being Childfree
I haven’t posted about this on my blog yet, but in my everyday life I’m pretty open about it, so I figured I would share today. Kevin and I are childfree by choice. This means we do not want any kids ever. Childfree people can get a lot of hate online. As a group,…
How to Choose Accommodations
I was recently chatting with a friend who doesn’t travel much. I asked her what she’d be unsure about if she were to plan a trip, and the first thing she said was, “How do I choose a hotel?” She seemed a bit overwhelmed by all the variables that come into play, and safety was…
Four Faves: Norway
Earlier this year Kevin and I found a good flight deal to Oslo, Norway, and jumped at the chance to see a new country. We weren’t really sure what to expect before we left, but we came back with lots of great memories. Here are my top four. 1. Spending our 5-year wedding anniversary at…

When Peter Jackson began production on his original Lord of the Rings trilogy, he went scouting for a location that could be used…
Reasons to Visit the Bristol Renaissance Faire in Wisconsin
I love immersing myself into other time periods and cultures, no matter where I travel. If you do too, and you like English history, then the Bristol Renaissance Faire on the Wisconsin/Illinois border is for you! The faire is 30 minutes from Milwaukee and about 50 minutes from Chicago, and it is open weekends mostly…
Four Faves: New Zealand
We went on a cruise to New Zealand in January 2017. We wanted to get such long flight days out of the way while we’re still young and not too creaky (and it was indeed a looong 2 flights). But it was worth it! New Zealand is so gorgeous, just like everyone says! Here are my…
Norway: A 1-Week Itinerary (for Non-Hikers)
Many countries are hard to grasp in only a week. Having only been to a couple regions, I can’t say with certainty that Norway is one of them, but I assume it is. Still, I feel this itinerary gives you a great taste of all that Norway is, in a short amount of time. This…
Things That Happen When Your Partner is a Photographer
I’ve been really into my photography hobby since around 2005 when I got my first camera. Since then I’ve delved into multiple different kinds of photography subjects, but my favorites remain travel and documentary/lifestyle of whatever is around me and whatever I’m doing. I met Kevin in late 2009 and I immediately started including him…
