Hi, I’m Megan!

Originally from Virginia, I started this blog as a hobby to document my life in Norway and escapades around Europe.

Fifteen years (and a lot of adventures) later, I have turned it into a trusted travel resource for not only Scandinavia and the Nordics but also other places around the world that feel like home!

I have visited 100+ countries, 45 US states, and am currently based in Finnish Lapland. Welcome!
