Wednesday I flew into Oslo for my trip to the fjords of Norway and trekking. The first picture of Finse was taken 24 hrs. after the next 3 Finse pictures. Word of warning, most hostels and mountain cabins outside the large cities start closing Aug. 31st. When I got off the train in Finse I was told the hostel had closed days earlier so I caught the next train {5 hrs later} to Bergen. I could not find the hostel in Bergen and the cheapest room I could find at 1am was $250. Plan better is what I should have done. I caught the train the next day to Voss and stayed at a great hostel and prepared for my trip to the fjords of Norway.
About Me
- NOMADIC LIFESTYLE, EARTH, United States
- After getting my first passport in 2006 and traveling to climb Kilimanjaro in Tanzania my life changed. I began the process of getting rid of all my possessions and traveling the world. Traveling to over 125 countries and all 7 continents, hostels have been my home. This "new life" has taught me what is important and it was NOT accumulating money or possessions. Traveling is the best education. I hope my blog will encourage others to travel. My World Tattoo was a way for me to express my PASSION FOR TRAVEL.

IRELAND, Galway
September 11, 2007
Today I am in Galway. I will take the bus to Dublin tomorrow and catch the 3:15 pm flight to Oslo, Norway. I will stay in Norway until September 30th and then fly back to Dublin for my final few days. Below are a few pictures of Galway which is a university town and supposedly the liveliest of all towns in Ireland. I will know more tomorrow. I have actually stopped here on two other occasions while changing buses for a few hours and it looks like a lot of fun. Last night I was in Clifden and met a man from Tennessee. I just had to rub it in how good the LSU Tigers are.

IRELAND, Cliffs of Moher
Saturday September 8, 2007
Today was a great day. The hostel owner told me of a great path to the Cliffs of Moher from the hostel. The path was right beside the cliffs starting close to the hostel and lasting for about 2 hours . The path was outside a barbed wire fence and only left about 6-12 inches between the path and the cliff. It was quite an adrenaline rush. I walked a total of 8 hrs today partially because I did not want to pay for the bus to return. The view of the Cliffs was spectacular. I took sandwiches for lunch and sat on the edge of the cliff for over an hour just taking in the scenery. I cant wait to find a computer that will let me post some pictures.
