Husky Hikes & Puppy Pics

Summertime is quite relaxed in the dog yard, it is a well deserved vacation for the dogs after they have been running all winter. During the summertime our work in the dog yard revolves primarily around keeping the dogs fed and watered, as well as taking the young dogs for hikes and looking after the […]

Back in the Arctic!

I’m now back in Northern Norway but this time in a town called Kirkenes – which is about 15km from the border of Russia. I’ve taken another musher job at the Kirkenes Snow Hotel. It’s pretty much the same type of work as the one in Tromsø but this one has a few more dogs […]

Farm Life in Southern Norway

It’s time for another Nordic Life update! Seeing as it has been close to 6 months since my previous blog post I thought now would be a great time to post a little about where and what I’m doing. I’m currently living on a farm in a town called Hønefoss just a short drive from […]

The Estonian/Italian Mountain Expedition

A few weeks ago myself and one of the other handlers (plus Troy the dog) hiked up the big mountain behind the property where I live. To reach the top of the mountain takes just over 2 hours. The first stop was a lake with a mailbox where you can ‘sign in’ and let people […]

Tisnes Trek

I got the afternoon off one day and took a stroll down to the local beach. Lucky for me the weather was absolutely stunning and I managed to snap some great pics of the area. The beach is home to a large number of sea birds and is actually classified as a bird sanctuary/nature reserve […]

Foraging under the midnight sun

Over the last 2 evenings myself and some of my colleagues have hiked up the mountain behind the property to forage for cloudberries, blueberries and mushrooms. Some say that berries picked under the midnight sun are sweeter than normal… you’ll just have to try it yourself and see!

2 months in…

The 2 month anniversary of my arrival in Norway has just passed so I thought it appropriate to do another blog update since I haven’t done one in over a month! We’ve just had 2 new handlers arrive from Estonia to join the team which is great as the seasons are changing and Autumn is […]

Flowers in Norway

As Spring and Summer have rolled around I’ve been taking photos of all the flowers that are blooming in the wild. At least I think they are flowers, they could just be pretty weeds for all I know. If you know what type of flowers they are, leave me a comment and say what photo […]

My Time in Målselv

I spent some time in Målselv painting our log cabins that we will be living in once the dog training season comes around. This is about 1.5 hours south of Tromsø in the wilds of Norway. Everywhere you explore there is a photo opportunity. It would have to be one of the most beautiful places I’ve […]
