Traveling the world on long weekends

First of all a huge THANK YOU for stopping by, we really appreciate it!

We are a Norwegian couple with two teenagers and we absolutely love to travel – near and far. We work 9-5, teens go to school and we travel only during our vacation time and other days off. And we love our long weekend breaks from everyday’ hassle. We are not digital nomads and nor have we desire to become such. You can read my and other like-minded bloggers’ in-depth interview on this subject HERE.
You can read about our lifestyle and why we are satisfied with the way we travel here.

You might consider us lucky living in one of the worlds best countries when it comes to social welfare. In Norway, we have 5 weeks vacation by law, 10 public holidays and there are of course WEEKENDS. If we add that up we get 35 days off excluding the weekends.

About us

Lena (me) – born in Ukraine and moved to Norway after I met Steinar (my better half). I have just finished my three-year-long study for a Master degree while working full-time. I have always loved to travel and have always been curious about other cultures, history, and languages. I love to write and take pictures and always bring my camera with me – to sometimes huge annoyance to my family. I love dark chocolate, win, and food and sometimes we do food tours on our trips.

Steinar – loves his drone and brings it with him where ever and whenever he can. He loves to travel and he also loves to drive, which is perfect because road tripping is my favorite type of travel. Steinar is a fan of beer, food , nd desserts, he is more laid back than me, and he is good at keeping my restless soul grounded.

We do love mountains and beaches, but nothing beats the vibes of cities like Paris, Rome, HK or our hometown Oslo. We love cityscapes and most our travels consist of city breaks.

Despite the final year (2017) of study, full-time work and two teenagers at school we managed to travel to 13 new and “old” places. It is definitely possible to travel a lot on weekends and days off, with a little planning and “I can do it” mindset 🙂

If you have any questions to us, please get in touch via our contact page. We are looking forward to hearing from you! See you around the world 🙂
