San Cristobal Island an Animal Paradise in Galápagos

July 7, 2015

I was lucky to have 12 days in animal paradise in Galápagos. Watching fearless wildlife, sea lions sleeping on the bench on the street, on the stairs. Marina Iguana just chilling on the beach and Blue Footed boobies having a break on the malecon. A normal day in animal paradise, a best day experience for an animal lover that is fascinated by this animal paradise.

It is just incredible to see how fearless the animals are for humans. Watching some of the world´s rarest animals so easily and so close is truly a paradise and a great experience.  Where ever walking on the island, I was surrounded by animals. So fascinating and so peaceful.

What I love about animals is that they are still being animals and just enjoying life. Sea lions are actually sleeping a whole day on the bench before they are having playtime with their friends. Not so much stress going on there. If they only knew that their animal paradise Galápagos was in danger. That there island and paradise has a possibility to get covered with giant hotels and big golf courses. There would be panic. The animals can’t speak, so I hope the world are awaking and taking action ->SOS Galapagos and protect the animal paradise to maintain for the future.

Det var helt fantastisk. Det var helt utrolig å få lov til å være rundt så mye natur og dyr. Det var også spennendes å finne ut at det var så mye norske historie der, vist ikke at det var så mange nordmenn som hadde vert blant de første bosetterene. Det var spennendes og høre om øye historiene som var der. Jeg har så mange bilder, er vanskelig å begrense seg. Så måtte bare få ut enda litt mer bilder av paradiset! helt skummelt å høre at kanskje Galapagos blir solgt til høyst bydene fra utlandet.

12 dager!!! Det må ha vært helt fantastisk. Jeg hadde bare 4 dager til rådighet på Galapagos og kjente at det var for lite. For en dyre- og naturelsker er dette stedet helt unikt. Og det er utrolig hvor lite redd dyrene er. Nydelige bilder!

    A Norwegian Travel Voice & Trying to Impact the World by Nudging People to Choose More Sustainable Travel.

    I’m shaped by nature. I grew up at the edge of th I’m shaped by nature.

I grew up at the edge of the Stadt peninsula — where the ocean doesn’t negotiate and the wind decides your plans. You learn early to read the sky. To sense the shift before the squall rolls in. To move before the door is pushed open.

The weather isn’t small talk at the coast.
It’s strategy.
It’s timing.
It’s survival.

And the women knew it best.

While the men were at sea, coastal women held everything together — land, livestock, homes, children, community. They didn’t call it resilience. They simply lived it.

They understood something very important that we need to remember well. 

You don’t dominate nature.
You collaborate with it.

Today I live in the Lofoten Islands, again surrounded by strong coastal women. Different generation. Same backbone.

To adapt when conditions shift.
To build with the landscape, not against it.
To know when to move — and when to stand firm.

To me, that is a coastal inheritance. 

The coast teaches you self-efficacy. Patience. Awareness. Respect.

It shapes women who know that sustainability isn’t about control — it’s about relationship.

And that’s the spirit I carry into my work, my travels, and the future I’m building.

Thank you @dino.serrao for capturing my coastal spirit in this portrait.
    2025 was rich in good memories, wonderful times wi 2025 was rich in good memories, wonderful times with family and friends! It went so fast! Many highlights this year! And many great hikes even in Lofoten and Sunnmøre! 

2025, I have used less time on my phone more flight mode, more with just being. It will continue onward for 2026. I’m still traveling and doing many mini adventures. Mostly being with loved ones. 

In April we were in Cuba, which always disconnect but reconnect you much better with what matters and the importance of being grateful and appreciating what you have in Life. When we travel, how can we travel well, how do we show up at a destination. 

My last international travel this year was Lanzarote, famous for its landscape and architecture. Best of all traveling with my sister. We used public buses, eat at different local places and guided tour to the national park. What an island! 

I think one word that has been important this year for me is mindful. Be aware, be curious, ask open questions, reflect more before speaking and listen. 

Being in nature is the best gift for human nature. We must visit more often. We must focus on our sleep quality. 

I think 2025 have been a year of flowing and protecting my energy on what sparks joy to me. The most limited resource we have is time. How can we live the most happy with the time we have. How can we use our time and energy well. 

2025 I’m very grateful for the year it was a blessing filled with love laughters, friendship and some important life reflections and some new changes. 

2026, welcome let’s embrace and see where the wind takes us this year! 

Wishing you all the very best new year filled with abundance, hope and peace. May the year be as good as you want it to be! Or even better as magical as you want ✨🤩
    October disappeared in the blink of an eye! 😃 The October disappeared in the blink of an eye! 😃 The start of the month was breathtaking in Lofoten. We welcomed German travel experts for a MEGAFAM trip in the Lofoten Islands and had a blast connecting with new faces and industry colleagues. Truly amazing!!🤩 #lofoten #lofotenislands #megafam #lofoteninfo #visitnorway
    Greece is always a good plan! This time we went is Greece is always a good plan! This time we went island jumping to Skiathos and Skopelos. You know the Mamma Mia Islands 🌞 Also Athens, but next post. I think Skopelos has the clearest water I have seen in Europe. So stunning so pure, wow! So green the Island. Could have been away longer as always, but now living slow cabin life before hitting back North. #islandescape #greece #visitgreece #skiathos #skopelos #islandsofadventure
