Well hello there! Welcome to my blog! My name is Ragnhild, I’ m 21 and from Norway. I recently finished a Gap Year and started Nursing School.

I enjoy dancing, reading, Netflix, but most of all traveling. I have been to places such as Paris and New York, but also those adorable cities you’ve never heard of. In September 2015, I left for Namibia, Africa, to volunteer with animals. It was such a different experience that I did a similar project in Australia, April 2016.

I update my blog about two-three times a week, and hope you will join me to the places I am going!

      1. Nå er Australia et mektig kontinent som er myyye større enn hva man får inntrykk av når man ser de vanlige kartene på nett/globus.
        Derfor er det enorme forskjeller på syd, nord, øst og vest. Men du har sikkert planlagt reisen og lest en masse om Australia? Selv var jeg for det meste i W.A., selv om jeg hadde noien avstikkere til nordlige og sydligere destinasjoner. Du kommer uansett til å huske dette resten av livet! Og du kommer til å synes at nordmenn jevnt over snakker dårlig engelsk 🙂

        1. Tviler ikke! Jeg skal tilbringe en måned i Queensland som frivillig med dyr, så har lest mye om det området. Har tenkt meg en uke til Sydney etterpå (som turist), og gleder meg stort til begge deler. Hadde du noe du likte bedre eller mindre med landet? Det tror jeg på! Haha, det siste der vet jeg allerede: “but but it’s not only only” 😉

          1. Queensland kjenner jeg lite til. Brisbane and Cairne. Kan være ganske varmt (men fint), men litt utsatt til for tsunamier og orkaner når/hvis du har uflaks. Og så kan dyrelivet være litt skummelt (sammenlignet med norsk fauna) og man bør være ganske observant – også på de helt minste krypene. Men jeg går jo ut fra at du blir fortalt dette av folk du skal omgås med. Og så bør du legge deg til noen nye rutiner:
            Som alltid å riste ut tøy før du tar det på deg, alltid banke ut sko og sjekke sokker nøye. Sengetøy/seng likeså! Men det er rart hva man venner seg til?!

            A standing joke: A full blooded Aussie will spend more money on beer than education! It’s not a joke! It’s the truth!!!

            En av de bedre ting med Australia er noe som heter ‘Scooner’! Og det er ingen båt!
            Et høyt glass med en duggkald pils og med ‘to fingre’ med lime i bunnen av glasset!
            Gjør ølet friskt og deilig å drikke og gjør det mulig å drikke ‘jugs’ på en hyggelig kveld!

                1. Ai, ai, der falt mine stive fingere på feil tast! Der er altså IKKE som hjemme!
                  Og du kan ikke ta sjansen på å småsove på et håndkle i sola i nærheten av en lite idyllisk elv eller dam. Særlig ikke i de nordlige deler av Queensland.
                  I denne regionen finnes til tider også såkalte ‘box-maneter’ med et ganske nifst ‘sting’
                  og folk har fått sjokk og druknet! Men det finnes hainett og andre sikringstiltak. Til tider blir strender rett og slett stengt. Men JA, du vil få en fantastisk opplevelse som du nok aldri vil glemme. Bare husk at du er i en fremmed biotop og vær på vakt!
                  Ha en riktig god tur!!!

    1. I’ve recently added a category cloud to my sidebar to make it easier to find old content, click Namibia and you’ll find lots of posts:) I volunteered there, so many of them is about what that is like and the animals I met. As for New York, thank you for your request! I love when my readers ask me to do certain posts, it gives me an insight in what you find interesting 🙂

    1. This comment totally just made my day. I love hearing from you, and you are very welcome! When I was younger my family used to go on interrails in Europe every second summer. These days we usually stick to one country though, for one or two weeks a year. That is not nearly enough to satisfy my need to see the world and challenge myself. I therefore started traveling on my own when I finished High School. Occasionally me and my sister or me and a friend take trips as well. Being young; I don’t know what I want to do with my life yet – so for the moment I focus it on the one thing I feel most passionately about, traveling.

      I believe that it is never too late to do what you want. Anything is possible, always. I’m glad you like to follow along, becuase I sure love to share and interact! Thank you for this comment, it truly made me smile:)

    1. Wow, that’s funny! I guess volunteering is one of the main reasons people my age travel to Namibia, it was mine, but the country has so much to offer aside from that. I joined an expedition into Bushmanland and stayed with the San people for a week. It was an experience unlike anything else 🙂
