I brought Alice to the Women’s March in Norway yesterday . 💪🏻💖 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’d say it was her first, but technically she was forming inside me at the big one I took my students to in DC last year. 😉 That one was super fun! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The one in Oslo is quite small, but I’m always going to try to make the future better for my daughter. And I really hope she doesn’t have to go through what I have had to because I’m a woman. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Although Norway is better for women than most countries, we still have a long way to go. I think that’s why some women here can get complacent and don’t think they need to be vigilant. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But if you’re not careful, the next thing you know you’re living in the Handmaid’s Tale. 😬 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ——————————————————————— ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #baby #babiesofinstagram #babygirl #instababy #babyofinsta #newmom #cutebaby #cutestbabies #babiesoninstagram #happybabygirl #mammalivet #småbarn #vimedbarn #womensmarch #womensrightsarehumanrights #motherdaughtergoals
Reminiscing about Milan. 💜 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My friend Marije was recently there, so it brought me back to the honeymoon. We had such a good time in Milan and the rest of Northern Italy. ❤️ Italy ❤️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ —————————————————————— #milanocityitalia #thisismilano #ig_milan #loves_milano #volgomilano #milanomia #visitmilano #mymilano #italytrip #travelitaly #italiabella #italy_vacations #topitalyphoto #italyinsider #italy_ig #volgoitalia #magicaitalia #italiait
Oh my beloved Australia. Just look how pristine the sand is on Fraser Island. 🇦🇺❤️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Your gorgeous beaches shouldn’t be filled with people fleeing fire, desperate to escape. 😩 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And I’m so sad about all the wildlife dying! And even the koalas 🐨 who survive face starvation because of food and habitat loss. 😢 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We want to retire in Australia, but now I’m wondering if it isn’t just best to stay in Norway. With climate change going the way it is, and garbage selfish governments not wanting to do anything about it, we won’t have to worry about the winters here in 40 years. 😬 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ————————————————————————— ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #seeaustralia #australia_shots #thisisqueensland #discoverqueensland #queenslandweekender #visitqueensland #helloqueensland #australiagram #ourqld #justqueensland #fraserisland #visitfrasercoast
Normally, the weather in Florida around Christmas is pretty great. Usually when I go home it’s sunny, not humid, and a nice temperature....NOT this trip. 😩😩 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This was one of the only really nice days we had. Luckily, we spent it by the sea in Key Largo and saw dolphins!! 🐬 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ (After this I got my hair cut and colored, thank god 😂) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ —————————————————————— ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #lovefl #roamflorida #pureflorida #floridalife #staysaltyflorida #visitflorida #floridakeys #keylargo
This is a mall by where I grew up. I suppose this is very Florida! 🌴 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I used to hang out here sometimes when I was a teenager. And I don’t think I ever appreciated it before, but realized it’s quite pretty and that we don’t have anything like this in Norway. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In 2020 I’d like to appreciate more of the small things I never noticed before. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ——————————————————————— ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #lovefl #roamflorida #pureflorida #floridalife #staysaltyflorida #visitflorida #thefalls #visitmiami #miamiflorida #thefallsmiami
Me looking ahead at 2020. What’s your resolution for the new year? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Not to be lame and pick a standard, but I need to lose this extra baby weight and get back to feeling how I did in this picture. I’m 20kg heavier than I was this time last year and it doesn’t make me feel good mentally or physically. So the goal is to hopefully lose it by the end of June when we head to Japan! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 💪🏻 My neighborhood gym has some babysitting hours, so tomorrow I’m signing up! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ —————————————————————————— #italytrip #travelitaly #italiabella #italy_vacations #topitalyphoto #italyinsider #italy_ig #volgoitalia #magicaitalia #italiait #girlsmeetglobe #citizenfemme #sheisnotlost #womenwhoexplore #girlsborntotravel #shetravels #femaletravelbloggers #globelletravels #girlsthatwander #travelgirls #vineyard
