Memorable Experience in Norway

I know that there’s no place like home but if there is one place that I want to live in aside from my country that would be Norway. I’ve been in Norway several years ago, I was fortunate to have a three months vacation, and indeed it is one of my memorable vacations.

Norway is very far from the Philippines, a total of 36 hours flight including layover; we took 3 international planes, 1 domestic plane, and 1 ferry boat just to reach my mom’s place. The travel is really long but it is all worth it because Norway is really an amazing country. 

 If you love to commune with nature, this is the best place because Norway offers various scenery. You can see rocky wilderness, valleys, mountains, forested hills, and waterfalls. Did you know that most of the world’s greatest waterfalls are found in Norway?
My three months stay in Norway is really a grand vacation because I was able to experience boating, fishing, picking mussels, nature tripping, and many more.
We were able to visit a few cottages which my mom’s friend owned. So if you want to spend your holiday in Norway, you don’t have to worry because you can find peace in cottages in Norway. You can also check holiday homes Europe for a list of holiday homes not only in Norway but all over Europe.

    36 hours? Grabe ha! Hindi ko na ata kaya yun! Nung nag punta akoa sa England, 30 hours ako nun kasama na layover, delays and traffic sa heathrow para na akoang maloloka. Suka na ng suka! Pano pa kaya 36 hours, dead na ata ako nun. Anyway, I have seen some cottages in England but didnt get the chance to stayed in one cos I was living with my Bf family in their own house. I love your post! I can relate and good you enjoyed. Bakit hindi ka na bumalik?

      we've tried but they want us to reapply again kasi schengen visa daw binibigay nila that time, e ayaw nila kami bigyan nun. :( now naman, no budget na since may family na ko, hindi na sagot ni mother ang fare ko. hehe!

    Long travel but if it's worth the travel why not. You are lucky because you spent 3 whole months in such a beautiful country as Norway. What an envy.

    I used to have weird imaginations about Norway (or any other European country for that) when I was young. Like mostly woods lang or ang mga tao di masyadong lumalabas kasi isip ko, snow lang nang snow dun. haha

    nice photos you have. holidays like these make you want to reminisce about your childhood over and over!
