North of Ordinary | Week 1 | A Raw Diary Of My Solo Road Trip Through Northern Norway
/I’m writing this from the back of my car/bedroom (glamorous, I know) somewhere in Senja (northern Norway), with saltwater on my skin, and a mind as jagged as the peaks that pierce this northern sky (chat GPT got a bit poetic and I liked it).
Week 1 of my Northern Norway road trip is complete. I’m road tripping solo with my passenger Princess, Woolfie. And if I’m honest, it’s been less of a holiday and more of a rebirth, in the best way possible.
I'm being brave and posting this episode raw, unpolished, and 100% unedited. Why? Because I'm semi on holiday, and I just don't want to be in front of a screen! This is me showing up imperfectly.
So, how have I stayed wild lately?
I ditched the dreary grey of June in Sogndal and went solo to a music festival on a remote Norwegian island called Træna.
Weather? Awesome.
Mood? Also seriously awesome.
I trusted the wild pull to go, and it did not disappoint. This trip has reminded me of how alive life can feel like… if that makes sense?
Highlights:
Hiked the Seven Sisters (well, the two hardest peaks… while cramping, still crushed it)
Danced sober all festival long (because I felt like it)
Partied ‘til 5am, sunrise and all, for the first time in years (maybe ever) with zero health crashes (also I think this is a first too).
Honoured my body’s needs for rest with pure pleasure (and just a little guilt)
Set healthy boundaries with people who crossed the line. No people-pleasing required thank you.
Followed my intuition north when the plans I thought I wanted didn’t feel right anymore
Basically: I said yes to what felt expansive. That’s the wild way.
I'm living proof that you can recover your health, party like a rockstar, and still trust your body. You don't have to drink to vibe, don't have to people-please to belong, and don’t have to stick to the plan if it stops feeling good.
Stay wild. Trust yourself. That’s the vibe. Adelaide x
