These are some of the photos that I took last weekend when I was in Geiranger , Norway. The absolutely stunning waterfall is Storsæterfossen .


Overlooking the Geirangerfjord.



 


My second cousin, Trond. admiring the waterfall from inside it!  

Quite steep, slippery and wet, but most definitely worth it. 


All in all a great trip - definitely recommended

My Camelbak

I bought a new backpack for short trips about a week ago. I've been testing it out lately.

It's a Camelbak H.A.W.G.

I'm quite staisfied with it. It contains a 3 liter hydration pack and has a pocket for my ipod and has enough room for other gear needed for a short hike.

My Result: Nature

 

   

An outdoors enthusiast like you is as invigorating as a breath of fresh air. And getting outside and enjoying all the things that nature has to offer is what gets you going. Whether you're into hiking, fishing, going to the beach, horseback riding, or camping, it's all about soaking up the scenery, checking out the view, and taking in the Great Outdoors.

A down-to-earth and genuine soul like you can appreciate the little things in life, from a beautiful sunset to the soothing sounds of ocean waves. Taking pleasure in the natural wonders of the world is where it's at for you. And that's how you can relate to the Lone Star State. Take a deep breath. Ahhh...

What is your fantasy island?

What's Your Fantasy Island?

My Result: The Galapagos Islands

 

   

When the travel bug bites you, it's time to go learn a thing or two. And the educational opportunities and environmental focus of the Galapagos Islands make them a dream destination for an inquisitive soul like you. Sure, sometimes you sit on the beach all day or indulge in a massage, but you also seek out experiences that are invigorating to the mind, body, and spirit. Adventurous? You bet. Curious? Most definitely.

Whether you're identifying rare fauna, investigating museums, watching indigenous creatures, or just thinking about evolution on a hike, your mind is always incorporating new experiences and lessons. You recognize that where you're going is meaningful, but even more important is what you learn on the way there. Take it all in!
