In a state whose motto is: "Live free, or die,” one might think of a brash countryside filled with gun shops on either side. The simplicity of New Hampshire’s slogan understates the beautiful scenery, kind-hearted people, and perhaps makes it sound a bit boring—which it is anything but.
From our cottage at Sørfjorden, Vesterålen, Northern Norway. A great day, and my daughter Nathalie (9) trying to catch some salmon, with bad luck. Later this evening, the sun set, and gave us some great colours at the sky, reflecting the clouds in the fjord. August 6 2014
If you’re in Frankfort, Michigan to soak up the atmosphere (beach! Swimming! Sailing! Shopping! Theatre!). There’s so much to do in this small town that you’ll find yourself hungry time and time again.
You know when you’re shopping and all of a sudden, realize you’re hungry? Yes. This happens far too frequently, I imagine.

As a traveler, I look for the beauty in the everyday. The colourful sunsets, the peace hidden in the whitecap of a wave, and the freedom exuded by children flying high on the swings are all joys of an adventure.
Rare are the books that get intercultural living; rarer still are the ones that are funny, interesting, and keep you reading with their honesty. One such remarkable book is Graduates in Wonderland: A Memoir of Friendship.
Photos from Kvalsaukan, Sortland, Norway. As you can see, is a lovely place to live. Over the fjord, “Hognfjorden,” you may see my home, a little to the right. A beautiful cloudy day, and the flowers, with the lovely purple-pink colours, are called “Geitrams” in Norwegian - Rosebay Willowherb in Eenglish.
