Hello there, and thank you for reading ! This is a picture of me at the top of Norway with my paraglider.. call me lazy, but walking down mountains is something you stop doing rather quickly after getting your paraglider certificate.

I'll try to use this post to introduce myself, and say a thing or two about the stuff I'll be writing about!

I moved from the city life in the capitol of Oslo to live in this place:

It's a fjord in Vesteraalen, Norway. The picture is taken from the porch.. what do you think?!

My dear grandfather bought the place in his time, and we've kept it in the family ever since. Here I live with two buddies that i used to study with... and now work with!

So why move here?

Beautiful?

I'll let the nature here speak for itself.. It's basically Disneyland for adventurous souls!

I'll be writing about the stuff i do in my spare time here.. skiing, paragliding, scuba diving ( sometimes with orcas) and more!

My friends @kariofthenorth and @susanne got me into this. @Kariofthenorth actually just moved to the fjord, read about her first encounter with northern norway on her blog...!

This is some fantastic scenery! Between yourself and @susanne, Norway is moving up my list of Must See places on earth...

I'm making it my life task to get my fjord to the top of your list. @kariofthenorth just moved here and has a interesting perspective on 'life in the fjord'..

I will check out their blog, as well. Thank you, and cheers to you for 2018!

Que hermoso lugar.. . He practicado parapente y se siente como tu alma se libera, te olvidas de los problemas, es tan reconfortante.. Bellaa imagenes. Saludo desde venezuela.

I agree with what you are saying! I will however admit that fear also is a part of it. Good to hear from the other side of the world!

¡Estoy de acuerdo con lo que está diciendo! Sin embargo, admitiré que el miedo también es parte de eso. ¡Es bueno saber del otro lado del mundo!

Woohoooooo, Niko in the house :D

Yes, it's wonderful here north, your posts are great Northern Norwegian advertising, well done😊👍🏻

I like your blogg, and I follow you😊👍🏻

Stunning! Following and looking forward to reading and seeing your adventures!

Wow this is so cool, amazing pictures! I also want to learn paragliding, just tried it for the first time this year! Happy to see a neighbour here on Steemit ;) //Moa from Stockholm

hey @ialokin, why the "resteem" icon didn't show up? I want to resteem this post.

Thats very nice of you! I'm new around here, but I've done some reading on the matter, and apparently the "resteem" function disappears after 7 days:( Thanks anyhow!
