When I was young, one of the top things on my list of ‘Things to do before I die’ was to see the Northern Lights. I had heard of its beauty, seen its gorgeous colours on postcards, witnessed snapshots in documentaries but never really followed through on my aim in life, which I was so adamant about when I was twelve.
I always thought they were a rare sight and one …
When the nights are long, and sunlight is scarce, there is one natural phenomenon that lights up my spirit. I’m talking about the aurora borealis (or northern/polar lights). Coming from Norway I’ve experienced this magic light a few times, but it never stops to amaze me. It is more beautiful than anything man can make, and not even the best fireworks in the world can measure up with this natural …
In 2012, 100 years after the deadliest maritime accident in peacetime history – the Titanic Memorial Cruise will set out on a journey in the “footsteps” of the original vessel. The ship will follow Titanic’s original itinerary from Southampton across the Atlantic to New York, and hopefully arrive intact. Personally, I find the thought of going on a cruise in the footsteps of Titanic quite morbid, unless …
Dear travelettes,

Currently out at the cinemas, “Eat, Pray, Love” follows a true story about a woman, who after her divorce decides to go on a trip to Italy, India and Indonesia to take a holiday from her miserable life.

Dear travelettes,
Babies is a type of documentary simultaneously following 4 baby girls from Mongolia, Tokyo, Namibia and San Francisco during the first year of their lives.

There is pretty much no dialogue in there, it’s all about the baby and the funny things …
Say, you decided to hit the road. Say, you bought a plane ticket. Say, you still have to wait for two looooong months till the Big Day of Departure finally arrives. Girl, it’s time to get yourself some popcorn, your favourite Ben & Jerry’s Ice-Cream (Cookie Dough, anyone?) and then work off this list of great travel movies.
Instead of going out last night, I decided to have a night in with some DVD’s and my 2 boyfriends Ben and Jerry. For a long time I had been tiptoeing around the movie “Desert Flower”, based on the life of Somali model and human rights activist Waris Dirie. In the past I had always heard nothing but rave revies about the book, so at least now I had to …
Dear travelettes
I realise that it’s not the most forward thing to recommend a movie that is already 2 years old but in this case I will have to make an exception. I just finished watching ‘into the wild’ and I am still shaking.
This movie is about a the true story of a 22year-old dude who graduates from college and then gives away $24.000 to charity to go out and travel …
