A bunch of Norwegian reindeers moving across the vast wilderness . . . . . #norway #reindeer #wilderness (at Besseggen) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnRDodKniTC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13izs8h6601rp

Followed a Norwegian couple as best as I could... But they eventually blew past me. And here I thought I hiked fast! . Seen in Besseggen . . . . . #besseggen #norway #eurotrip (at Besseggen) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnNRG2Fnraa/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1x7nus15gt77g

Been eyeing Besseggen for months. A dream come true to have been able to hike here and easily one the most incredible experiences I've ever had. . From the last minute car rental after my own reservation got cancelled (thanks @heddajacobsen for coming in clutch!) to learning to drive on European roads to hiking inside a storm cloud with zero visibility... I think I've fallen for Norway! . . . . . #norway #righttoroam #besseggen #jotunheimen (at Besseggen) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnIHOK9AU-l/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1s4qrc19ockkt

Couldn't stand in the cold Norwegian water for too long... even with my Canadian tolerance for the cold! . . . . . #norway #jotunheimen #eurotrip (at Bygdin Fjellhotell)

Happy birthday to this most wonderful lady! Can't wait to start our lives together on the island! 😍 (at Tokyo, Japan)

May have found the most beautiful hiking region I've ever been on, Norway . Next time, I'm coming back with a tent and making camp on this vast land! . . . . . #norway #postgradlife #eurotrip (at Bygdin Fjellhotell)

The gornergrat glacier, in all it's splendor! (at Gornergrat,zermatt)

Yet another @tobleroneglobal / Matterhorn post! We found the ideal location along the trail, dropped our bags and got the chocolate out. Was fun to shamelessly take dozens of pics to align this one :D . . . . . #toblerone #swissalps #matterhorn (at Zermatt, Switzerland)

Yeah... I couldn't resist bringing a Toblerone up to the Alps!!! . . . . . #postgradlife #eurotrip #toblerone (at Zermatt, Switzerland)

Got away from the crowd, and suddenly there was a vast openness in front of us. After slowing my breathing and heartbeat, all I could hear was the mountain wind...! . . . . . #postgradlife #eurotrip #swissalps (at Zermatt, Switzerland)
