Some more photos from The Botanic Garden in Edinburgh. They have these storytellers telling different stories in context with the different areas. Would recommend this to everyone! Loved the colours on her outfit, so asked kindly to take a photo of her, which she said yes to (: Pretty!

Dug up some photos from my summer in Risør! Can’t believe it’s almost half a year since June was here, feels like just a month ago! I’m just gonna stop promising to frequently post photos here, cause lets face it,  it’s not gonna happen. But I’ll try to be a bit better than what I’ve been so far (was that a promise? lalala).

Exams are coming up, so not much of an exiting life to brag about.  I do still have a lot of photos left from my summer in Norway which I haven’t shown you guys yet, so there’s hope for future post  (:

Sorry for little to no activity here the last two weeks, I am currently without a functioning computer, so I have to go to the library to access my blog/mail/uni notes. Really annoying, but I’ll see if I can get my computer fixed over the weekend. Went for a nice photo trip with one of my flat mates the other day, but can’t upload the pictures before my pc is working again, so I’ll post an old post that I had in my draft folder for now. Hopefully people will still enjoy the photos!

I’ve been to many zoo’s in my life, but I have to say that Dyreparken i Kristiansand is something special. I love how the wild life section is HUGE, and if you want to see any animals you’d have to either be really really lucky, or be there when they are being fed. The animals are not forced into small concrete cages where they’re displayed as objects for tourists to enjoy (like a lot of animals in Edinburgh Zoo), but the whole zoo is based on what’s best for the animals. The zoo in Kristiansand, Norway is also in the world class when it comes to breeding, which tells a lot of how comfortable, happy and healthy the animals are!

If you’re ever in the southern area of Norway: take a day trip to the Zoo in Kristiansand! You’ll need at least a day, since the area of the zoo is massive! This is no ad, btw, I just really love this zoo!

More photos from my trip to France. The nature is absolutely breathtaking! Went to visit Camille in Saint Etienne de Fontbellon, a charming and beautiful place which I hope I’ll get the chance to visit again. Took so many pictures on this trip, so there will be at least one more post (if not two!) from my trip to France.

Photos from my trip to France, Chambèry this summer where I visited two of the most lovely girls I know, Claire and Camille! Claire lives in Chambèry, which was the most amazing place I’ve been in a long time. So beautiful!! Plenty more photos from this trip to come, I took so many pictures on this trip! 😀

Best. Holiday. Ever.

I rarely work with black & white photos, but thought these photos turned out great! They were taken this summer when I was working with Sunniva on a project that will still have to be kept hidden (at least for a little longer) before I can share the photos with you guys!

Ah, it’s been sooo long since I posted anything here, hello world! I was in desperate need of a proper break from my blog, although my camera and I have been busy the whole summer, which means that I have a lot to show you guys!

It’s safe to say that I am so so so ready to go back to Edinburgh after a long and relaxing summer in Norway. I can’t wait for this year to start, new flat, new courses, new people…and new me!

WINTER IS COMING

April summed up in small squares

I didn’t have time to take a lot of photos with my camera in April, since I spent almost every day at the library, but I did get a new phone and took a bunch of photos with that one! If you’d like to follow me on Instagram, click here or search for marie_viking!

So long since last time! I have been incredibly busy with all my exams, and the last month’s been a non stop revision month where I’ve literally spent 14 hours at the library, and only been home to sleep and shower. The only break I had was my trip to London to see Kaizers Orchestra, something I’ve been looking forward to since I bought the tickets in December!

Feels like such a long time ago already, but it was an amazing trip, and I had a great time with great friends! Even got to meet some of the band members of Kaizers Orchestra, which explains my super stoked happy face on the last picture, haha. I’m such a kid.

I’m currently back in Norway for a little break before going back to Edinburgh til mid June. So happy to be done with my exams, I can finally relax a bit and enjoy the amazing weather Edinburgh got to offer. Can promise more posts from now on (:
