When trying to think of a name for my blog way way back in 2015, (yup, it’s been a while), I thought about including my obsession with mountains, beaches, AND forests all in a single name. Sadly, I didn’t think names like “Fern to Seaweed” or “Moss to Algae”…
I honestly can’t remember where and when I first stumbled upon Sonogno, Switzerland, but I am eternally grateful I did. It may have been through one of those epic travel Instagram accounts like @bestplaces_togo, or it may have been through a small Italian hostel’s “what to do” list back in…
Hands down, one of my favourite things to do in a new city is to walk around. For hours and hours. 30° C or -30° C. I’ll do it and I’ve done it. And when I ended up getting two ridiculously rare sunny and warm Fall days in Bergen,…

I am currently in the 5th hour of a 9 hour layover, so I have decided to take this opportunity to write about the last destination of our Balkans road trip: Sarajevo. Sarajevo is the capital city of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The city is just as culturally rich as the rest of…
Nearly two years ago, I started looking for my first full time job abroad – well, my first full time, post-university job. period. I remember finding a listing for a teaching job in Kotor, Montenegro and googling a picture of the city. I didn’t end up applying for that job…
