Lifestyle

I’ve been dying to go climbing for ages but it’s hard to make time back in Bangkok. We used to go to Bangna pretty often before and ended up buying most of the equipment needed for wall climbing on a trip to Kiel last year. Climbing equipment  is so cheap there! We got brands like La Sportiva and Black Diamond while we were there and I think it was around 30%+ cheaper than Norway. In Thailand… we just couldn’t find anything, and also I’m pretty sure it would be even more expensive than Norway as most of the imported goods are.

I think it all started back in Levanger on this climbing wall. I tried it out with my aunt and cousins a couple of years ago and just fell in love with the sport. It’s so much fun and there’s always a new challenge. I normally go on until I just can’t grip anymore. I’m super grateful  my aunt is so sporty and into climbing otherwise I wouldn’t have had access to the wall back in the days and also that she would let me belay on the first day. Me and Tom have our own card back in Thailand too but back there we don’t climb and mount the top rope by ourself, if’s already up, so it’s much easier. Also the wall is a lot shorter.

This route was though! I’m pretty tall but I still had to make a jump here.

It’s still really good though and I will be using it again when I’m back  once we’ve moved again and are getting settled. Until then I’ll just stick to the gym…if you are into climbing go check out their page Rock Domain on facebook.

Talking about climbing and Thailand, please go to Railay beach and climb. It’s so pretty and chill and just so much fun to climb there. I only did half days as we increased the difficulty after every climb and my grip just dies after a while. It doesn’t matter how big the grips are…

Belaying happening. Can’t believe she trusts me…jk

I used the company Railay rock climbing and they were at that time (February 2014) located right at the beginning of walking street.

I’m a SLOW rope collector

Are you into climbing?

Don’t mind the T… I didn’t didn’t bring any gym tops when I went so this had to do.

Beautiful view from Stokkvola

My besties cute Tibetan Spaniel, she is so sweet and loves to go for long walks, hehe.

Can’t wait for winter months in Thailand, where I will definitely try to do Phu Kradung and Doi Angkhang this year if time allows me.

Talking about winter months, it’s been so hot lately I’m sometimes dreading to make the trek to work. I wish I could walk there without being drenched in sweat every day, haha.

I never bother putting on makeup or wearing nice clothes to work, either because I’m lazy when it comes to dressing up, or just because of the weather. I love how every time my colleagues wants to for after work they need to remind me to not show up in gym clothes to work. But seriously, how chill is it to get to wear whatever you want.

So happy that the sun was out for the few days I was home. The weather has been terrible in Norway so far…

Managed to drag my little cus to get ice cream with strawberry sprinkles, I haven’t had it since I was in primary school and it is sooo soo good!! <3

Levanger train station in the background, if you ever come this way you know what to look for, hehe. Get a ticket at NSB and come see me and Tom next month!

I’m sorry haven’t been connected, I’ve just been really busy with school and travelling. As I mentioned earlier I went on a one week trip to Norway and it was just amazing. It was raining the first day I arrived but the rest was filled with fun and sun! Was so great to catch up with family and friends again. I was pretty much hanging with my dearest every second (for real) as I only had about 5 days at home in little Levanger. So as you can see, it’s a valid reason for not updating the blog.  The main reason I had to go was to take my exams so it was a lot of back and forth with flights but all worth it. I also got to go to my primary school reunion and it was quite nice to see everyone all grown up, I can’t believe it’s been 10 years already. I will never book a last minute trip like that ever again, especially when I know I have to be there at certain dates no matter what. It was crazy expensive and the trip took 30++ hours each way. Blah. At least we have booked all our trips for September, so I can finally share that me and Tom are going to Norway, New York, Amsterdam, London and Spain in one month. I’m so excited!!

What have you been up to this summer? xx

One of my fave photos of me; by Tom ofc.

I have a confession to make. I’ve completely gone of the fitness wagon. Seriously; I’ve never been really good at dieting or eating clean, but it’s always worked for me as  long I made sure my proteins were right and that I ate enough food. I can honestly say I’ve never done “clean” eating for more than 2 weeks in my life. My opinion is to do whatever suits you as long as you are healthy and happy. But recently, actually the past few months if not half a year I’ve been pretty much eating pizza and burgers every day and snacking on a pack of cookies or candies right before bed time. I’s not like I eat a cookie or two anymore, I eat the whole thing…  It’s so sad, because I do put in a lot of time in the gym, so I could have been much further ahead with my dream body. I haven’t really realized how much I’ve lost by doing this until I look back at photos from earlier. This photo is dated back to June last year and I want those legs back! I guess it’s time to change my workout program back to the old one… or as Tom keeps telling me, stop eating candy and chips every damn day.

Wish me luck! <3

Hey everybody!

It’s been way too long since last time, I deeply apologize.  We went away on a one week trip to visit some of the Islands of Trang. It was magical. I’ll tell you all about it in my next post, but first I think we have some catching up to do. As some of you already know I am now one year older than last time I wrote something… not in terms of time, but age. Yes… I know you understand. Hehe. So I guess you can say this was a little bday week trip.
I’ve also started fasting… well, at least for 14 hours at a day, which isn’t that bad. If you guys are interested in knowing how it works I will make a post about it later. We also started a new gym here in Bangkok called smart fitness, located in Khlong Toey. The equipment is old, but they have pretty much all you need. I have to admit I was very skeptical when I heard there was no aircon, but there is actually aircon on the inside area, and even if it wasn’t I’d still sign up. People actually come there to work instead of occupying machines while texting on their phones or playing with their ipads, so I’m loving it this far. It’s also only 700bath a month, and even cheaper if you sign up long term.

Other than that, things are pretty much the same. We’re actually going on a new adventure to Chiang Mai already next weekend. Two nights at Dhara Dhevi- deluxe villa with Plunge pool, say whaat?! I’ll be more than happy hearing suggestions on what to do up there. From what I’ve seen, visiting the bakery is a must!

What have you guys been up to lately?  <3

Since were chillin’ on the beach for my birthday,I don’t have a real bday fiesta picture. So I thought I’d throw in a pic from a party held by partyanimalz last December. I’m feeling 22…
