After having one day in Oslo, it was time to jump on a plane and go to my summer job in Trondheim. The third biggest city in Norway with around 190 000 people living and most of them are students. Now all the students are away enjoying summer vacation. Then it was Trondheim and me!

To be honest, I knew very little about Trondheim before my arrival. I’m trying to explore and discover more about this city that is supposedly the leading food region when it comes to local products. Who had known?

My three weeks in Trondheim is coming to an end, that is something good, because I’m homesick. I have been in Norway, but, still not been home to where my family is living. I’m ready for Sunnmøre where the fjords are prettiere than the forest.

What can I say about Trondheim, from a personal perspective? I love Trondheim for it’s closeness to nature and fjords. Trondheim is the third biggest city in Norway, and it is green, the town is surrounded in nature. That’s what I love about it. I have completely fallen in love with the Lade Trail, which is a scenic walk along the fjord-side of Trondheim.

After 10 months in Madrid miles away from the ocean, I have acknowledged how much nature means for me and how much I need to have it in my everyday life. Being back in Norway and closer to to the fjords gives me peacefulness and tranquility. In Norwegian, we would say it calms my soul. Norway is truly powered by nature, and it makes my life happier.

As coming back to Norway, and being used to prices from Madrid, Spain. I’m utterly shocked by the costs, and I understand that tourists feel somehow rubbed when entering the country. Then again it is all about prioritizing on what you want to spend money on, but then again 4 US dollars for a coffee, that is painful.

To my mum, Kristin thank you for showing me the incredible natural world in the first place; you always make it a magical adventure no matter what day or weather it is.

 

That mum, is your greatest gift, sharing your love for nature with the people around you. This gift I have been receiving since childhood, and it is still affecting my daily choices when it comes to exploring and seeing what’s out there in nature.
