I can’t say we were the biggest fans of Edvard Munch before going to museum dedicated to his work in Oslo. That could be because our knowledge of him was limited to one painting. You know the one. After visiting the museum? Totally different story.

House hunting was one of our favorite pastimes before we started to travel full time. Okay, maybe it wasn’t a pastime. Maybe it was more of an obsession. I mean, it’s not like we went to open houses every weekend, but we did at one point have a condo in St. Paul and a house in Minneapolis, and even then continued to look up houses that had fresh ‘for sale’ signs in the yard.

I was wondering this very same thing, and so I googled it. The results weren’t that satisfying, so I thought I would explain things in a little more detail. Hopefully you’ll find this more helpful than the time I tried to define “full time travel” by telling you what it isn’t. So here it is. The real definition of what a gapahuk is.

We didn’t think we would be writing about our experiences in conserving water in Norway. It rains 220 days out of the year here, right? Not with record heat and drought. Not in Oppland, where we are staying. Here is how we conserve our water, and how you can too.

Our first impression of Norway was that of cold rain. Summer is quite different, especially when the country is facing its driest and hottest spell since 1947. This has implications in Oppland, which is mainly farm, and for us specifically since we pull our water from a well. This is how we we learned about water conservation - the hard way.
