It's now over 20 years since the war..



The Falkland War was a war fought between The United Kingdom and Argentina in 1982. As you may understand, the war took place at the Falkland Islands in the South Atlantic Ocean east of Argentina, which consists of to larger, and a number of small islands.

The people who lived on the islands were european settlers and explorers who has land there. Before the Europeann nations started their colonization, nobody lived there.

The war itself didn't last for too long. It started on the 2th of April with a Argentine invasion, and ended 14th of June, when they had to surrender.
At this time the Falkland territories belonged to the British.

As a result of the war, nearly 900 men lost their lives.

Devolution in UK

My little getaway



In just a few weeks I'm heading over to London, and I am super exited! I have never been to London before, or The UK for that matter. I'm going with my mom, and we are staying at a friends apartment. Since we don't have to pay for staying at a hotel, we can spend more money on shopping instead!!! Of course are we gonna visit famous buildings and places London is known for as well.

I love to travel and I haven't been traveling since the summer, so I am really looking forward to this trip! London, be prepared:)

My hometown!


I'm from a place called Hosle, just outside Oslo. I've lived here my whole life and I'm enjoying myself here! Hosle is in Bærum municipality. The nearest city from me is Sandvika, a rather small city, which is also where I go too school. Next to our school is Norways biggest shopping center. There is also a move theater in Sandvika, which I visited a lot back in the days:)

In the center of Sandvika city there is great opportunities for bus- and train traveling.

Just outside of Sandvika city you find Kadettangen, where you can choose between taking a swim at the beach, play footbal at a small stadion, look at boats if that's an interest, or take a trip over to Kalvøya, which is a small island only a bridge away from Kadettangen. In the summer there is held a festival here for kids, with live music and fun activitets for the children.
