Hi everyone! Let me introduce myself:
Where I come from we eat fish almost every day, even on our sandwich. We directly heritage from the vikings, and we eat challenges for breakfast. We ride polar bears on our quest for fun in the hight mountains, and swim with the killer whales co-fishing with them and share our catch over a beer. So you get the picture?

Okay, I admit...It's almost true all of it.. ;)
To start off with location, (and remember the name); Vesterålen - the region closest to my heart, and I live in a tiny little village called Sigerfjord. We'll get back to this later.
In Vesterålen we do have killer whales in the winter, we have wonderful mountains and the vikings lived here a thousand years ago. Also we have the norhtern light waving at us in the winter, and the midnight sun kisses our cheeks in the summer. And I'm blessed to share this with loved ones, all the human beings that makes my everyday worth waking up to. Friends, family, strangers and visitors. What I see most of the time are all smiles, and a smile is the shortest distance between two hearts. Welcome to Northern Norway!

Luckily I've grown up in what I think is a beautiful area with the sea-to-summit possibilities in my backyard, because I'm in love with the outdoors. I live and breathe for the thrill nature gives me through it's subtle luxury of freedom, joy and thrilling views. This is where I feel alive and grounded! I do hope to share some of these moments in life with you through this blog.
Also, if I may I'd love to share thoughts, experiences and my scarse life wisdom along the way. In my 34 year long expedition called life I've been lucky enough to live through good and bad days, learning a whole lot of do's and don'ts, and learning to cherish the little things in life. And this is all thanks to the people along the way; the wizards, the old, the younger, the friendly and non-friendly, and the animals. They've all lead me in my direction, to get closer to who I am deep down. I do my best for a living, and hope to die at a fully seated funeral. Be kind, always. :)
Norwegian welcome to Norway
The name of this blog is LeveL.North.
LeveL, because that's what I aim for in life. Balance, level up and release my potential. (Now read it backwards.)
Also, in Norwegian when we spell "Lev vel" it means "live well" which I hope and wish for all and everyone. (- I just got rid of one v for reasons.)
North, is where my heart is.
Thanks to introducing me to this voyage!
L8R!
Best wishes
