From Tiny Town To Big City
Hei! Today we ventured to Oslo, Norway! This morning we were blessed with the opportunity to sleep in, which was much needed after the many adventures at Sorrisniva, the igloo hotel. Although majority of the students chose to take full advantage of the extra hours of sleep, others woke up to get a start to […]
Day 8: Alta!
Another busy day in Norway! Though the majority of the group slept well on their ice beds, a few weren’t feeling so rested this morning. This was a very unique experience! Not many can say they’ve slept in an igloo on a snow bad covered in reindeer pelts! As people trickled out of their rooms […]
Cool as an Igloo
January 10th 2017 Today was a great day. We started the day at 5:30 bright eyed and bushy tailed, ready to head off to Alta, Norway. After the short, turbulence filled, one hour, connecting flight from Bergen to Oslo we hustled to get onto our flight to head to Alta. The smooth two hour flight […]
Journey to the Fjords
It was another early morning for the Olympic Questers. Breakfast was served at 6:30 am and we left at 8 am to walk to the train station to catch the 8:43 am train to Voss. The train ride was dark most of the way because the sun doesn’t rise until around 9:30 am. It was […]

We started our day on an early note. Our plane for Bergen departed at 8 o’clock this morning which called for a little extra coffee than normal. We successfully all managed to wake up from our alarms and make the trek to Bergen (with no lost baggage this time). We checked into our hotel which […]
Last day in Denmark!

Day 2 in Denmark!
Today was our first official day in Copenhagen, Denmark. We started with a breakfast, and it did not disappoint. We were served buffet style with choices of eggs, bacon, breads, pastries, yogurt bar, and more. It was AMAZING! We may have went and got seconds. We then headed to our class that was taught by […]
Olympic Quest: Arrival in Copenhagen
For some of us, this is our first time traveling out of the States. For others, we’re searching for an empty page in our passport to get stamped at customs. But whether we’re new to this whole abroad thing or a seasoned traveler, we all feel the same excitement to get this trip (party) started! […]
