Ahh, LaLuna! Although you might be thinking that all I’m doing in Grenada is lying on a beach, lying on a beach, and more lying on a beach, my weekdays here are not usually spent on the beach, despite the fact that this post might make you really not believe me at all, haha! […]
A couple of weeks ago I spent a Monday at the General Hospital in Grenada (It’s the building in the picture above). Dr. Ameci, who I had been shadowing previously, worked at a private hospital in Grenada. Of course at the private hospital the standards are better, equipment is more professional and everything runs a bit more […]
Hello everyone! I’ve been slow with my blogging, but I’m prioritising experiencing rather than writing about past ones! So today I’m sharing with you something I experienced a couple of weeks ago. Lindsay and I had met two people during our hash who asked if we wanted to come to a small island, Hog Island, which is just […]
Happy Thursday everyone! Hope everyone is doing well! Yesterday Lindsay, Laura and I organised another bonfire night and lots of people joined – we had such a great time! Chill music in the background, ghost stories, marshmallows, and a midnight swim under a sky full of stars made it such a perfect night! Just wanted to […]
On Saturday last week I did my first HASH! (and no there was no hasj (hasj = marijuana) involved for those worried norwegians, haha) You might have heard of a hash before, but I heard of it for the first time when I came to Grenada. So for those who don’t know here comes a little explanation. […]
Sorry sorry for not posting this earlier, but I’m in the Caribbean – we’re on island time here 🙂 Today I’m going to show you lots and lots of pictures from one of the most incredible days of my life, where I saw more turquoise water and whiter beaches than I have ever seen before; […]
Bonjour! I have had an absolutely aaaamaaaazing weekend in Carriacou and visiting the Tobago Cays. I don’t really have any words to describe how beautiful it was, but 1,500 photos of beach and blue water might tell you how stunning we thought it was. It’s taking some time to go through all the pictures, but […]
Not really sure if I can write this here, but let’s hope no Grenadian government officials read this, haha! Because today, Lindsay, Karys, and I were somewhat illegal immigrants. Let me start from the beginning 🙂 There has been another student who has done an internship with the doctor I have been shadowing for the past couple […]
Yesterday I watched a laparoscopic cholecystectomy (in normal language: a surgery where they remove the gall bladder using the keyhole method (in norwegian: kikhulsoperasjon av galleblæren). So today, you’re all getting a little introduction to biology/medicine 🙂 I have been shadowing a doctor at the private hospital every day for about three weeks now from 9-12. […]
Hello, hello! Hope everyone had a great start to the week! I arrived safely back from Carriacou on Wednesday (despite the ferry I was supposed to take being full and so I ended up having to take a veeery small “ferry” (it was not a ferry!) back to Grenada – but I survived and pushed […]
