April Exercise Challenge
April month has been a great month – Weather-wise and “hiking wise”. I entered a new virtual challenge on the 20th of April. As I’ve mentioned earlier, I’m doing a new virtual challenge every month.

I love the concept of tracking your progress by using the app; Pacer. This app allows you to learn about other countries and the checkpoints along the routes/challenges. Every checkpoint gives you some interesting facts about the sites along the hike. The great ocean walk stretches from Apollo Bay in Australia and…

How To Hike Iceland – The Volcano Island
Iceland – The volcano island, also known as The land of fire and ice is on my travel bucket list. This is a destination I’ve been dreaming of for a long time.

Iceland was then a free state until the 13th century, when the country was subject to the Norwegian king. After the Reformation in 1536, Iceland formally became part of Denmark. In 1918, Iceland…

Workout Monthly Challenges
I’ve always loved a challenge and I’ve decided to join a new challenge every single month of 2021. It is both rewarding and healthy to participate in various challenges. I am, as probably everyone who reads my articles has realized by now, completely dependent on nature, and it’s therefor natural for me to find outdoor challenges. 2021 can only be better than the year we just left behind – The year when Covid-19 happened. I’m looking forward getting the vaccine, and getting back to the new normal. I hope you will join me on my journey of 2021, and maybe even participate in my new idea; Workout monthly challenges –…

Do you ever dream of tying your shoelaces, packing your backpack and go for a hike in nature? Let’s take a closer look at how to get started with hiking.…
