Oslo, Norway
After a quiet Christmas in Bergen it was time to head across Norway to Oslo via the Bergensbanen. It's a 7 hour train trip along the highest mainline rail in Europe. It was built in the late 1800's and is reputed to be one of the world's most scenic train journeys.

Bergen, Norway
Christmas this past year was pretty quiet for us. For a few reasons really. We had already decided to spend Christmas away with some friends. I was struggling with my third Christmas away from my family in Texas and hoped that if we were traveling it might distract me a bit. After a short hospital stay followed by the flu I had absolutely no energy and a fuzzy brain, so it turned out to be a great choice.

Instagram Egypt
I've started editing the photos, but it will still be a few weeks before I start posting about our week in Egypt. I couldn't let another day pass without something on the blog.
I'm addicted to travel and every trip is a treasured experience. But there are a few trips that have affected me on a deeper level. Egypt was absolutely one of those life-changing experiences. I don't really know how to explain it. It went by so fast but I can remember almost every single moment.
The place, the people, the history, the dessert, the red sea, the tombs, the pyramids... all of it combined into the most epic week. I love the way it challenged me, both physically and mentally. It caused a big shift in my worldview of the both the ancient and the modern. That's where travel holds the most magic. Where it changes you. Egypt changed me.
It's also been a difficult trip to return from. I commute to work and sit at my desk longing to be traveling again and experiencing other parts of the world. Egypt has taken my wanderlust to all new levels.

Here are a few of my instagram photos from that week to give you a taste. I couldn't resist adding a little music, so click on the mute button bottom right if you're at work.
What place has caused a shift in your worldview?
