Åste Innleggen
Åste was brought up as a “child of nature” playing barefoot in nature’s playground. She moved to Finnmark to study nursing, but stayed because the adventure was too enticing. She’s also walked the length of Norway. Perhaps best known under the instagram alias @AASTESVILLMARKSLIV, Åste’s an ambassador for Åsnes and writes now and then for turjenter.no

Bathing north of the arctic circle
When I say chalk-white sandy beaches and azure sea, northern Norway might not be the first place that springs to mind. But, right there, you’ll find some of the finest sandy beaches in Norway! Here are my favourite bathing pearls!

Winter adventures in the backyard
When you live in Longyearbyen, on Svalbard, your backyard’s just a little different to any other town’s. Vast wilderness begins right where the city ends and your ‘short trips’ are rather more exotic…
Don’t sleep away the summer night!
The Norwegian summer brings long, bright, nights with fantastic light – and the opportunity for incredible nature experiences. There is absolutely nothing like sleeping outside on a summer’s night in the open air, experiencing the magic of the day’s changes.
How to sleep on top of a mountain
The view looks like a painting. Large mountains shoot up from the fjord. Different colours fling themselves across the sky. I have no doubt that if you’d shown me a picture of this when I was sitting at home in the garden in Denmark I wouldn’t have believed it was real. But luckily I’m standing here right now. The only sound I hear is the wind whistling quietly. And, of course, Matias, now crawling out of the tent.
