Road trips in Norway are really something else

https://www.reddit.com/gallery/ok0z8p

Don’t hesitate to ask about any of the photos, locations or even if you have questions about the trip in general. I’d be happy to answer! Edit: I’m getting so many comments, and I’m doing my best to answer all your questions. A lot of people are asking for a rough itinerary and budget so I’ll post that here as soon as we’ve mapped that out. Edit 2: I managed to make a map showing our pretty much exact route, you can look at it with google maps [here](https://goo.gl/maps/EDACUoWMKHRiwhkU7). Edit 3: A few people are asking what camera I’ve used. I only use my iPhone 12 Pro and edit from scratch using the free Lightroom mobile app :)

La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona may just be the most beautiful building I've ever stepped foot in.

Florence is absolutely beautiful... Taken one year ago today.

I lived there for 2 years going to school. You never ever get used to the duomo. It’s as beautiful the first day you see it as the last day you leave. Truly breathtaking

Wireless Passwords From Airports And Lounges Around The World

https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1Z1dI8hoBZSJNWFx2xr_MMxSxSxY

There's an app on android called "WiFi Map". I bet apple users have it too. The largest database of WiFi networks and passwords I know. And it can work offline, if you pre-load specific area you're interested in. Never disappointed me in my trips. Oh, and it has not only airports, but every possible WiFi network. Some people even give access to their home WiFi.

Rome. I was walking back to my hotel this evening and happend to stumble upon this incredible view of the old city.

The Roman Forum.

My favourite picture I took on my whole trip. Wengen, Switzerland.

Imagine...people live down there in that village

Trondheim works just fine as a destination even during mid-winter.

I’ve been walking this city today for a few hours, and had all kinds of weather. It’s insanely pretty with the heavy snow covering everything just right. Of course, when it snows, it’s a bit hard to see, but that’s just a good excuse for heading inside and have some hot chocolate. Trondheim is easy to reach via cheap flights from Oslo, but the train ride is a scenic alternative, albeit usually more expensive. If you can afford it, traveling from Bergen by boat (Hurtigruten) and continuing the trip further north all the way to the border to Russia, is an incredible sightseeing journey.

If I told you that I visited this beach In Japan would you believe me? The stunning Aharen Beach on Tokashiki Island in Okinawa, Japan!

So that's where all the beach episodes are based

17 May is the national day of Norway, so here's a celebration.

https://www.reddit.com/gallery/nebvd7

My SO grew up in MN, a land where a lot of Scandinavians (and Finns) came and settled down. When he was a junior in high school (some 45 years ago), he took part in a 2 week band trip to Norway in which they would travel the country playing concerts with local community bands. The band director wanted the band to shine and so before the trip they practiced a lot - with great emphasis on the Norwegian national anthem. The trip was in the middle of May which, of course included syttende mai, the 17th of May, Norwegian independence day. They played the anthem at every concert but twice on that day. And so the Norwegian national anthem is absolutely seared into his brain. When he's working on some task he'll absent-mindedly mutter-sing "Ja, vi elsker dette landet...". Whats funny is that after 30+ years of marriage, by osmosis I guess, I will also mutter sing it but since I was never taught the song with proper articulation, my version is more like "Ya vee es cur dee-da land it". Someday I'd love to visit Norway and if I'm there during syttende mai, I will sing my butchered anthem very very softly: . . . some dee seeger frem, for farbit er dee fanned it. meddle two sin yum! (Edit: if any Norwegians read this, I'm very very sorry) (Edit 2: my son corrected me on my version of the 3rd verse. According to him I say: "fear a ferret, erd ee fan it"

My girlfriend and I were lucky enough to catch the Northern Lights in Nuuk, Greenland last week.

Stay right there! It's usually the last place a virus spreads to. It costs a lot of DNA points to upgrade level 2 cold resistance and level 2 water transmission.

I walked nearly 1000 KM (600 miles) across Spain on the Camino de Santiago. It was the journey of a lifetime. The hike is not exactly the most difficult in the world, but the Camino experience is something that can't be replicated anywhere else.

I am a native of Santiago de Compostela and I honestly will never grow tired of the look of absolute euphoria on pilgrim’s face when they see the cathedral for the first time. I’m glad you got to experience it!

The Matterhorn from my hotel in Zermatt, Switzerland this morning. Probably my favorite photo I’ve ever taken. Didn’t even have to alter the picture. Only here for a weekend but it has already been worth the long and multiple trains I had to take to get here.

Pretty sure that is the same mountain the Grinch looks down on Whoville from.

Still reminiscing about my trip to Iran two years ago

Got to visit my mum’s home town in Bosnia. This is the view from our bnb.

I spent some time road-tripping around Bosnia in July/August. Very, very pretty indeed. I believe the group of friends I went with are already planning a return trip in 2020 (we come from all over the world to holiday in different places together, each year).

North East India must be on every nature lover's bucket list. Captured during a recent trip to Gangtok, India.

I just returned from 6 weeks in Arunachal Pradesh, and meghalaya. Absolutely pristine and very untrodden places. Arunachal has decades before it will be a well known destination. Traveling there is difficult as there are no airports and the roads are Awful. Amazing places nonetheless

Cherry Blossoms In Edinburgh, Scotland

I’ve been studying in Edinburgh since January. I liked Edinburgh but didn’t love it, until a couple of weeks ago when the weather started to get really warm and the flowers started to bloom.

The beautiful Lake Louise and Fairmont Chateau

was there when the lake was frozen. One of the most beautiful places i have been to, still wanna visit again during spring or summer

Most couples honeymoon in a tropical environment. We chose Iceland. We rented a car in Reykjavik and drove around the entire country. It was the most incredible experience of my life! Iceland truly is the land of the gods.

This is such a popular thing to do now. I have at least 6 married friends that did this same thing. It always looks like so much fun.

Only place in the world that I did not want to come back home from, Torres del Paine National Park, Chile

Very cool. This is an amazing place. I was there in winter, but would like one day to experience a different season too. Is that the Explora hotel's wharf?

I, too, was caught in a sudden Roman rainstorm. What had been a busting street filled with tourists and diners became suddenly quiet and serene after everyone had rushed for cover. It's one of my favorite memories of visiting.

Very beautiful! Unusual lighting. ​

Views over Guatemala, the active volcano Pacaya erupting in the distance

That's pretty awesome, was just in Belize a little while ago and we were very close to the border a few times but stayed in Belize. How are things over there with the referendum and everything? People advised us to stay out of Guatemala, but I wasn't sure if that was like the people who say be careful in Belize because of crime but we were all over and met nothing but awesome people.

The bazaars in Iran are usually very busy, but go there early in the morning to see their quiet side.

You guys are getting boyfriends? You guys are traveling? Edit: My first top comment yayyy

On our 27th country together, we got engaged! We met in a London Hostel while both backpacking Europe. Some backstory in the comments :)

Edit: Picture taken in Mo’orea, French Polynesia Update: holy crap, I can’t believe the reception this is getting! Thank you all for your kind words. It is truly appreciated We randomly crossed paths in a hostel. One of his traveling companions was from the same area as me in California and he noticed that I was wearing a baseball cap from a local team. I ended up hanging out with them the rest of the day. It wasn’t until later that night when he had to leave to catch a flight that we really clicked and sparks flew 😊 Funny enough, I ended up seeing him again in Amsterdam so it was definitely fate! When we got back to the states, we knew we had to be together. We lived in different states so it was hard to see each other. We couldn’t stand being apart so he packed up his stuff and moved across the country to California and it has led up to this ☺️

The beautiful village of Sintra, Portugal

So beautiful... my favorite thing about Portugal is that, just about no matter where you look there's a breath taking view.

Hallstatt is one of the most popular villages to visit in Austria, and even with the crowds it was definitely worth the visit

went there, it was awesome! But if in austria, salzburg and vienna!

Tipping culture in America, gone wild?

We just returned from the US and I felt obliged to tip nearly everyone for everything! Restaurants, ok I get it.. the going rate now is 18% minimum so it’s not small change. We were paying $30 minimum on top of each meal. It was asking if we wanted to tip at places where we queued up and bought food from the till, the card machine asked if we wanted to tip 18%, 20% or 25%. This is what I don’t understand, I’ve queued up, placed my order, paid for a service which you will kindly provide.. ie food and I need to tip YOU for it? Then there’s cabs, hotel staff, bar staff, even at breakfast which was included they asked us to sign a blank $0 bill just so we had the option to tip the staff. So wait another $15 per day? Are US folk paid worse than the UK? I didn’t find it cheap over there and the tipping culture has gone mad to me.

https://www.reddit.com/r/travel/comments/uawg9j/tipping_culture_in_america_gone_wild/

Our local MLB stadium just put in self serve beer area, coolers full of cans, you pick them up and scan/pay like a normal self checkout. There was friggin TIP screen on the CUSTOM self checkout software! Like who gets the tip, me? The guy who was batting? The billionaire owner?

Man, I need to put going to chile higher on my list. Those are some beautiful caves. As a side note: so you actually spelt tranquilo wrong. It doesn't really matter, but I just spent the last 5 minutes reflecting on the fact that Chileans must say the word tranquilo differently in their country and it must be a regional dialect kind of thing. But then I googled it, and realized that it was just a simple spelling error.

Opted for a boat trip to tour Amalfi Coast instead of going by land.

Desert Oasis in Peru - Huacachina

Peru has such diversity. Mountains, highlands, plains, deserts, jungle. From penguins and sea lions on one side of the country to piranhas, anacondas, and jaguars on the other. We spent six weeks there and felt like we only scratched the surface.

Wonderful trip to Patagonia in the fall.

Went on a trip to El Calafate and El Chalten, Argentina and Torres del Paine, Chile in April, 2018. We rented a car in El Chalten and drove everywhere. The weather was challenging but the scenery was phenomenal. More pictures in the album below. https://imgur.com/a/xpuaJNe

A (very) rainy day in Nikko, Japan

Nikko is the kind of place that would be worth the visit regardless of the weather. A downpour might change your itinerary a bit, but it would not make the shrines any less beautiful. When I visited for a day it began shrouded in cool mist, but gave way to a hot summer sun that filtered brightly through the leaves in the afternoon. It was absolutely worth the train ride from Tokyo to see.

I went on a trip to Edinburgh this week. Its definitely the most beautiful city I've visited in Britain but a pack of chips at a takeaway on the Royal Mile costs six quid so I don't think I'll be able to afford to come back anytime soon

https://www.reddit.com/gallery/iv9o8m

I don’t mean this in a shady way but maybe next time you shouldn’t eat on the Royal Mile? Edinburgh is definitely pricey but there are definitely more affordable areas. You also don’t eat at Piccadilly Circus, the Champs de Mars or Brandenburg Gate an expect normal prices... Nice photos though :)

Maybe not the highest in Europe, but definitely the coolest. Matterhorn towering over Zermatt, Switzerland.

Why you posting pics of a toblerone?

I went to Arches National Park today, and it was deserted. I had Delicate Arch all to myself

Stornappstinden, Lofoten Islands, Norway. I 'Hiked' up here with a group of 30 middle-aged Norwegians and had to RUN to keep up! Worth it.

That sunrise picture in Angkor Wat isn't that special

I highly recommend If you do end up going to Angkor Wat for the sunrise to just avoid this and ENTER THE TEMPLES. They are completely empty and you will feel like Indiana Jones as it's usually still dark out for a while. Protip - bring a lamp. Still totally worth waking up at 3:30 AM to have them for yourself until everyone catches up after sunrise.

A quiet, unedited Amsterdam morning

My friend took this photo last week during the vacation we took at White Lake in Mongolia. Never thought my country is that beautiful especially during the sunset.

Nice shot! Just looking at the picture, if I had to guess the country, Mongolia would be very far down that list! Somehow I associate Mongolia with dry, tall mountains, deserts and sand! Great to see another side!

30 yr. dream of visiting Paris came true this week. (Took the RER to Versailles)

Last time in Paris my wife and I went to Versailles. We went to a lovely bakery after a stroll through town. The owner was extremely nice and gave us some extra sweets when she saw we were tourists. We took our lunch, grabbed a bottle of wine, and had a lovely picnic on the grounds. I’d recommend that to anyone, just be sure to clean up afterwards!

Whoa whoa whoa... you can't just drop a lead-in like that, one photo and then leave us hanging. There has to be some interesting stories and photos beyond just this.

I am convinced that Bernkastel-Kues has the most magical Christmas Market in all of Deutschland. This adorable city isn’t as popular as Munich, or Berlin, but it is certainly not lacking in charm. I, personally, thought it was far more interesting to visit.

This reflects my strong opinion that people asking what the best Christmas market is are asking the wrong question - to me, makes more sense to find a beautiful town that captures your imagination and head there, because every town of a decent size will have a market.

Favorite picture I took from Havana, Cuba

What stuck out to me in Havana was the stark contrast of styles. They had the Spanish architecture from the years of Spanish control, 40/50s American style, and Cold War era Soviet architecture all mixed into one city. You'd see a beautifully restores Spanish building right next to a cold, square concrete building. The history of Cuban influence is evident in the architecture alone.

It took a while, but me and my friend managed to ride our motorcycles to the Northernmost tip of South America — through a remote desert peninsula. The night sky is incredible.

The exact spot is Punta Gallinas, Colombia (adjacent to Venezuela to the point of being full of smuggled Venezuelan gas out of coke bottles and beers for sale being Venezuelan) - this was taken near Playa Aguja, 5 minutes west, where we slept overnight and stargazed.
