St. Lucia to Panama

When I last posted an update I was in Mustique with my charter guests. We sailed from Mustique to Bequia and from there all the way to Soufriere on St. Lucia, had an overnight stop there, before we sailed up to Rodney Bay, where the charter ended. The...

Bei Dai He Camping Trip

After spending all of July on the soaring Tibetan plateau it took exactly 2 weeks before it was time to head out on a new adventure. Since any mountain around Beijing would feel a bit bland with Everest so fresh in my memory, we decided to head to the...

Adventures in Ecuador

I’ll be honest: Ecuador is a country I loved visiting, but I’d hate living there. Ecuador is blessed with gorgeous nature split into three different eco systems: The Amazon, the Andes Mountains and the beaches along the coast. All three are completely...

Bai He Camping Trip

Having just come back from my trip to Norway I was happy to hear that Vinnie was organizing a trip to Bai He. Vinne was the only one going that knew what we had in store and as soon as we got there I knew why he was so excited about it. To get there we...

Gran Canaria her we come

After 2 days in Oeiras we were ready to take off. The stay had been short, but sweet. It had climaxed in our epic “Capture the Flag” and we were definitely ready to feel the wind grab a hold off the sails again. We set sail in the afternoon when the wind...

Crossing the Atlantic

(More pictures and video will soon be posted) Crossing the Atlantic in a sailboat truly is an adventure of a lifetime. It’s one of those things many people speak off, some people dream off and a very few people do. When I left Norway on Sept. 22nd I had...

The adventure has started

Petar and I finally walked off the Vision of the Seas at 12:45 on November 19th. Needless to say it felt great to be off what by now felt like a prison. Doing an 8 month contract is not to be recommended. Having said that, I still had a lot of fun, but...

Chilling in Miami

Though Ecuador had been awesome it was nice to get back to civilization again. We went straight from the airport to Hertz and picked up a 2007 KIA. It served me very well in the week I was in Miami. We drove back to Rasmus’s flat on South Beach, dumped...

Tearing up the West

Stepping off the plane in San Diego felt great. The temperature was comfortable, especially compared to freezing Beijing, and I had just embarked on a fantastic 5 week vacation filled to the rim with adventures and fun stuff. I’m dividing the trip up...

A 100% Me(n)tal Trip to Norway

I had one thing on my agenda when I came back to Norway: Metal! The family might complain about this fact, but it is true. I had 2 music festivals lined up that I was heading off to almost immediately after touching the ground. I met up with Vidar and...

Australia

We left Noumea fully planning to sail to Coff's Harbor, but plans change (as they often do when you're dependent on the direction of the wind). We actually had decent wind for most of the trip, but some bad weather was brewing further south and when the...

Progress

I enjoyed my last night alone onboard, before the next day started flat out. I had Claudia joining later in the day and had some things to take care of first, because the following day I would leave Curacao with a charter going to Bonaire and the plan...

2nd Travel Log from China

I have by now gotten out of the LBB Bar in Ningbo (though I was a frequent visitor up until I left on Sunday). My time in Ningbo and Zhoushan was excellent. Not very historic...well, I did see a Buddha painted on a mountain wall, but I got to hangout...

Bodø

When I left Sydney I flew straight home to Stavanger. Even though it had been over 2 years since I was last at home, I didn't stay long … in fact I was only there for 5 days before I boarded a plane and flew on. This time my destination was far north...

4th Travel Log from China

I'm a bad person. After having spent so much time in the mountains, desert and off the beaten track I suppose it was to be expected. I just couldn't hack having 1.3 billion Chinese around me and in the airport on my way to Beijing it boiled over. There...

Back and Forth

When I last posted I was in high spirits, because the boat was ready and it was time for me to head to Curacao to start my Christmas charter. I spent Saturday finalizing all the things that needed finalizing, getting everything sorted and in order. When...

6th time on the Great Wall

July month had been penciled into my calendar as the month Torstein would be visiting. Needless to say the Wall was at the top of our list of things to do while we were in Beijing. Our reasons for going were two-fold. First of all, he had to become a...

Birthday Party

When you turn 30 you are supposed to have a big party, where everyone makes fun of you for not being married or even engaged. Thank God that's not the tradition in China! Here they just aim at having fun, no matter how old (or young) you are. Funny as...

Changes

I am sitting on a comfortable divan overlooking Marigot on St. Martin while my boat is somewhere in the British Virgin Islands. Has the boat been stolen? … No. Have I sold the boat? … No, far from it. I have decided to take 4 months away from her to make...

Some images from the Caribbean

A lot of people have asked me to post some pictures from the Caribbean. I'll start with a small video taken when I took Marcus and Morten, two friendly Swedes I met in a bar in Le Marin, for a little cruise on my boat. This is the first swim I took in...

7th time on the Great Wall

The day after the new James Bond movie "Casino Royale" came out, I have to admit it felt very correct to be conducting my 7th visit to the Great Wall. This time it was a team building trip with the people from work. Believe it or not, but there are Chinese...

Martin and I enjoy Sanya

SAS gave me a good Christmas present this year … well … indirectly at least. During December they had a Christmas calendar where they sold a new destination at rock bottom prices every day. The result was that my brother, Martin, was able to secure a...

Hanging out in New York

It’s up to you New York, Neeeeew Yoooork! … It was up to New York to finish up my vacation in style and send me home depressed that it was already over. It succeeded on all counts, in no small part due to my buddy Campbell. I hadn't seen him since he...
