La Familia <3

Ahh, I can’t believe it! I get to see my favourite 4 people in just under one day 🙂 They arrive Saturday afternoon and I just can’t wait! It’s very strange to think about that I haven’t seen these guys for 3 whole months. I went through this when I was in South Africa as […]

Spa Day at LaLuna

  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! […]

Living the Grey’s Anatomy life

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 […]

A Sunday on Hog Island!

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 […]

5 Sisters at 7 Sisters

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 […]

Grenada Hash House Harriers

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. […]

MORE PARADISE <3

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; […]

Kite Surfing on Union Island

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 […]

Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (I’ll explain later!)

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. […]

More from Carriacou

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 […]
