Machu Picchu in Pictures

May 15, 2015

After been looking at others pictures of Machu Picchu, it was finally time to have my own pictures of this incredible place. As voted as one of the New Seven Wonders of the world and a UNESCO world heritage site in 1938, you don’t wanna miss it when you are in Peru. It is a once in a lifetime experience. It was amazing, especially to walk around and see the accuracy and precision the Inca people put in to their constructions. I was just amazed by the place. 

 

 Dreams don´t work unless you do.

I made it to Machu Picchu!

 

I meet this handsome guy … He was busy, on to the next!

Big thanks to Felix and Conrado for taking me on the road to Machu Picchu. It was a crazy adventure. More about that in: Travel to Machu Picchu. Felix and Conrado were so lucky that they claimed Huayna Picchu, had an amazing day as well.

You seen so many pictures of Machu Picchu, and you wonder is it gonna be as good as people are telling you? I would say yes, I was fascinated by the place. It´s incredible architecture, that didn’t leave anything up for the contingency. Everything has purpose, and the Machu Picchu site are accomplished so well. It was a dream come true for me. I’m so happy I did it.

That is so interesting, did you find your spot?

I had mine spot, ended up looking at your spot.

This guy in the pictures are trying to find a very accurate spot, to take his pictures. Because he has a picture of this famous guy – travel blogger that had his pictures taken in special position for 20 years ago in Machu Picchu, now this guy wants to recreate the picture. In the end he did get the picture, he was so happy. I wish I had bought of the pictures so we could see the result. It was a good story.

What an amazing thing! I ran into my two good friends from Buenos Aires. Jenny & Gavin couple with so much fun and joy in life. Always enjoying hanging out with them. So funny that we were in Machu Picchu the same day together (especially since I changed my travel plan in the last-minute, because I wanted to travel to Machu Picchu with Felix and Conrado the guys from my hostel and not travel alone). Jenny & Gavin is the best Surprise in Peru, so far. We enjoyed so much our day in Machu Picchu. We had shitloads of selfies and mandatory Machu Picchu pictures. My day in Machu Picchu was really good, I´m so lucky.

Ja, det var helt magisk. Det var veldig surrealistisk å se det med mine egne øyner, en opplevelse å få gjort det. Så kjekt å ha sine egne bilder også. Det er bare å glede seg, trur ikke du vil bli skuffet.

Ja, det er noe med å komme dit selv og faktisk kunne se på underverket med egne øyne og ta egne bilder… Nå er det heller ikke lenge til min tur! Gleder meg vilt og enormt! Gos tur videre!

    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
