The Ultimate List of the Best Museums in the World
World’s Best Museums Visiting a new country can be exciting yet overwhelming experience. There is art, culture, history, architecture, music, design and science that are all waiting to be learned and explored in cities and towns throughout the world. A museum can provide a glimpse into local life, or provide education on a broader level. I think museums are a way to get a glimpse of the view of a country. Small, local museums even more-so, they show how they perceive themselves and the rest of the world. Get out to a museum near you, open your eyes and enrich your minds.

Hiking Norway: My Body & My Self in Lofoten
I looked ahead, scanning the rocks to find a stable place to land my footing. The “trail” isn’t easily marked like I’m used to.

So, like detective work you need to decide if the trodden grass or mud in front of you is truly THE trail or if it’s a jumping off point a more experienced hiker has…

Hitchhiking, Fish Museums and Cinnamon Rolls: A week in the Arctic
I reached down and placed my hand along the edge of the tattered luggage wheel, the plastic already hot to the touch from rotating violently along the gravel road. It was Sunday evening and the last bus had already gone through town, forcing me to start a long 10km walk to the next village with all of my things.

Snapshot Sunday: Norwegian Fjords
I’ve been a tad obsessed with my recent shots from my time in Norway this summer, but for good reason. Norwegian fjords and landscapes are so stunning I keep going back to my photos in disbelief. I knew what a fjord was visually, but I couldn’t have told you what the land mass was by definition, aside from some large mountains surrounding some small waterways. Fjords are formed from glacial erosion, so being in a boat, looking up, stretching your neck to take in these massive rock formations was all the more impressive. Pictures don’t do the scene justice, the icy glaciers atop the mountains, the cascading waterfalls pouring into…
