Thank you so much for your comments and support on my last post! I promise that the changes to the blog will come soon, and that I’ll keep up posting again. Right now, I’m at summer school, and life has been much to busy. Basically we’re doing a course in only three weeks, that normally takes much longer.

For the next couple of weeks when I’m still in summer school I’m going to give myself the freedom to not feel bad when I haven’t blogged in a while. Who knows, maybe that will make me want to blog more?

I have some big news! Have you noticed that my url has changed? If you are subscribing, you don’t need to do anything, but please change your bookmarks, girls! As from today, you are now part of a huge project called the Freedom Experiment. The reasons behind this move are many, but the best part is that at the same day as changing my URL, I have accepted an offer to study photography at Kingston University in south London. Yes, you heard me, I am putting my law studies on hold to study photography! Isn’t it wonderful? This is my big  freedom experiment! I just couldn’t keep it a secret any longer now that it is happening! Since I’m currently in London for summer school and life is hectic at the moment, I will explain all the changes to my blog later. Don’t worry, I will still provide great inspirational posts, just a little different, that’s all!

So far I really love London! I went to the Columbia Road Flower Market today, and it was awesome. I have to go back next sunday too! So many wonderful shops and flowers!

I haven’t yet sorted out the internet in my room, so I have to apologize for not replying to your comments on my previous posts. I’ll catch up as soon as I get the internet thing sorted out! (I’m addicted to being online, help!) Also, I’m really excited, because my classes start tomorrow. I will have more time to blog as soon as everything starts! So much information in the beginning!

All photos take my be in Rome 2010

ps. For those who are wondering about how I’m getting along with the the Olympus PEN: All the photos from above is taken with the PEN and we are getting along fine. I don’t really think the auto settings are as good as my canon camera, but if you know how to deal with white balance and iso settings, you should be fine! What I love about it is that it is light and small. You can take it everywhere! I do think it takes a lot better pictures than a regular point and shoot.  My favorite is the 17mm lens (1:2.8) but I really wish they will make a 25mm one (equivalent to a regular 50mm lens) with 1:1.4. So sum it up: If you are looking for a great light camera to take everywhere that takes better photos than a point and shoot; it is great. If you are a photographer (or want to be one) and you are looking for a DSLR, go for a regular one. Or, like me, get both! ;)

Do you haven any exciting travel plans this summer? I’m going to spend the summer in London where I’ll be attending the LSE Summer School. I leave tomorrow! While I’m there, I’ll continue to give you exciting, inspiring and interesting posts as often as I can.

Do you dream of travelling, but haven’t yet? Read my first (ever) guest post over at Steve Scott Site:

Realize your Travel Dreams – How to Afford it

ps. the Rome photos will be posted as soon as I a) get a roll of film developed and b) find my old or buy a new camera to pc cable… ;)

I really enjoy the photos by Violaidi.

Today is my turn to Pin it Forward.  Have you heard of Pinterest? Basically it’s a site like weheartit that allows you to save pictures that you find online. You can categorize your boards and the pictures are displayed in a great way. I have 10 invites for the first 10 who e-mail me. I’ve made a pinboard with photos that represent what home means to me. To find the source of each photo, please go to my pinterest pinboard and click the images there. I’m forwarding this to Florence Oliver, so go by her blog tomorrow to see what home means to her!

Home means drinking lots of tea during fall, winter & spring

Home means to feel safe in a comfortable bed

Home means decorating, work & inspiration

Home means home-cooked food and a beautiful kitchen

Home means being creative, taking photos & planning travels

Home means being close to nature here in Norway

Home means to read a lot

What does home mean to you?

I told you I had some exciting news! I have been working together with the lovely Notebook Doodles on these. I have taken the photos and given her some of my favorite quotes, and she has doodled them beautifully! What do you think? If you haven’t already, I really recommend that you check out her blog. It is so sweet filled with daily life photos and inspirational quotes and doodles.

I have more news! I have decided to follow my passion and write more. Therefore, I have started writing for Every College Girl. It’s a blog for college girls, filled with a lot of useful information and interesting facts. Check it out!

Trevi Fountain, Rome

On saturday I was feeling extremely bored. I was restless and spent the day wandering around Oslo. Nothing exciting was happening and I have been most places in Oslo before. I had the next days off and I have saved up money for this summer. Around 4 pm I got this crazy idea that maybe I should just get off somewhere. My boyfriend had work on monday and tuesday that he really couldn’t abandon, so I asked the only person I know that is crazy enough to go with me; my sister.

And so it happened that I found some cheap tickets to Rome. Neither of us had ever been to Italy, and Rome is one of those places that I’ve always wanted to go. My sister got off work at 7, we ordered the tickets around 8 and by 10 pm she was already on the train over to my place (closer to the airport). The plane left the next morning at 6.30 am. It was totally the craziest and most liberating thing I have ever done. Just the thought of being bored in Oslo one day and wandering the streets of Rome the next day, gives me butterflies. It really reminds me that nothing is impossible and that all it takes is a little courage and trust.

We returned from our trip on Wednesday and headed directly to our parents for their 25th wedding anniversary. So give me a day, and I’ll give you wonderful photos, and a few new inspiring posts that I have up my sleeve. I also have some great news to share with you all!

Have you ever done something a little crazy and unexpected? How do you deal with boredom and restlessness? I’d love to hear about your adventures!

Do you use affirmations? What are your favorites? Are you interested in learning more about how to write your own and how to use them? What would yout like to know? Why all these questions? Because I think I want to do some research and write a post that’s it.
