My name is Carina.

I’m a Norwegian girl in my thirties, and mother of two charming rascals ❤

I’m originally from the south part of Norway, but migrated north, to Tromsø in 2008 (can’t believe I’ve lived here for over ten years!). Was supposed to stay for a year or so, just to experience something new and exotic (Tromsø for a southerner is very exotic). I’m really not a winter person. I need a fair amount of days with 30°C ++ to survive, so Tromsø isn’t really the place to stay for a summer girl like me. But, you know, love…

Love for the awesomely charming city

Love for the wild and raw nature

Love for the people living here…

So I stayed 🙂

 

And speaking of love..

I also love to challenge myself, and so November 03rd 2019, I’m going to run the NYC Marathon!

I really enjoy being active. And when the sun has melted away most of the snow, you’ll find me hiking in the mountains for most of my spare time. But I’ve never been much of a runner. In fact, before I got the confirmation that I will be participating in the NYC Marathon, the longest stretch I’d run was 10 kilometre. ONCE! So I definitely have some work cut out for me. But that’s kind of the point with a good challenge, isn’t it?

Anyway, I can’t wait to start running, working out and planning my upcoming months 🙂

 

The content of this blog will be about planning and executing the marathon for the most part. But I’ll also write about my hiking trips and other trips, as I love to travel, and generally about life.
