I’d be disappointed with myself if I returned back to Norway with the same photos from Haiti as last year
(not that it’s literally possible, but I’m guessing you know what I mean?)
Gosh!! I’ve got so many things to show and tell; I don’t know where to begin! One week in Haiti has felt like a little life in itself. Is that an English expression, btw?
However, my Internet connection is quite bad, so I’m saving my stories for later. But can you believe I’ve been to the Kanaval? I have, I have!!
It’s unbelievable that I’m once again packing my bags to go the Caribbean, to Haiti. Last year I made a photo collage of the clothes I brought with me. It gave me a nice overview over my wardrobe during six-or-so weeks away from home. So I tried something similar while packing this year too, but there was just no time or space to make it as… orderly as I would have wished.
I wouldn’t have believed it was possible, but I feel equally badly prepared as the first time I was going. Yet, I’ll be on the airplane in a couple of hours.
I realized this morning that I would have to publish a spectacular post today because this notification ticked into my phone:
Can you believe it? A year! Can one picture say it all? I don’ believe it can, this has been such an incredible year. I have decided that some reminiscing is in order.
This blog was born in Amsterdam where I was studying International Journalism. Oh, Amsterdam, I miss you so – crazy, beautiful city. One day I will return!
Then there was Christmas in Lille…
And before I knew it, I was back in Oslo.
But not for long, since I had to go abroad to write a feature story for my exam. I ended up in the most amazing and extraordinary place: Haiti.
(Stopping in Cuba on the way home…)
* TIME FOR FINAL EXAM *
*dread*
*more dread*

And USA >>>>>>
Also, somewhere between writing my exam paper and planning my journey to USA, I managed to move to Drammen, the most cozy town. It rests by a river in a mountain valley and I have a view from my balcony, need I say more? My furry BFF likes her new place of residence very much too!
I’m still settling in, really, Drammen needs exploring! And I will be taking my camera and you with me. But that’s in the future, while this post is all about the year that has gone. And there one last important journey that needs to be mentioned – The Annual Russian Trip.
And thus a WordPress Year has passed. I’ve been a little depressed lately because I’m unemployed, bored and broke, but looking back at the amazing times I’ve had quite recently has helped me remember what a fortunate person I am. I will just sit tight, enjoy my freedom and wait to shine again. Thank you for staying with me!
