Lilenath goes on an Epic Voyage of Awesome

Because this is too happy to go into the Happy Post thread.

I've got plans sorted now for my travels now, and I'm so excited
In September, I'm going to be in a Pancake House/cafe in Denmark. In October, I'm going to be on a farm in the Netherlands, after taking a weekend break in The Hague to stay in the Hostel I was originally going to work at but didn't get a place at. Then after that, I'm arranging to go work on either one of two amazing places up in the very VERY north of Norway (with a brief stop in Oslo for a few days) during winter. After that, who knows xD

How far north? Spent 9 months at the Russian border some time ago.
Also, what time? The winter tends to be dark up there.

Funny you should mention that, the place is pretty much ON the Russian Border.
And November-ish. So yeah, DAAAARK.

Kirkenes or the close area then?

Yeah, near there, a bit south in that bit that's squashed between Finland and Russia

Lovely! Seriously, the darkness has it's charms once you get used to it. Loved my time round those parts

No south of Norway? South Norway best Norway.... Depending how far south.

I'm a night person anyway :3
And I know, Eira, but the best Workaway stuff on the site was up in the north

Bergen is counted as "west" by our weird norwegian logic, actually, Eira.

Pancake house, where in denmark?

Isn't that not so north and more like very north-east? Cause that border's like beyond Sweden and Finland, aye?

Kirkenes, where I was at, is at 69 degrees North, if I recall correctly, while the northernmost point of Norway, Hammerfest is at 71 degrees.

But it's the one you're aiming at, yeah.

Oslo is a big city dont get lost^_^ It sounds like you are indeed heading out on a major adventure^_^ I am a bit bias buuuuut. Norway is lovely. I am sure you will find it very much to your liking
