Clap clap clap your hands

I am officially a happy clapper theese days!! :) Any guess why?? Thank you bye bye

My girls, my girls only

It comes a day where you sit down in ur coach, look at the room and just smile. Today Ive had one of those days. People were dancing around me, the music was loud, the clock turned 00.00 and it was saturday night.. I was re-living my weekend-moments with my specials. And i came to think how unbelieveably lucky I am to be surrounded by such fantastic people. Yes boatlife is great, but it wouldnt be anything without my friends.

My best friends knows the unsensored Mia, they know my bad days as much as my good days. They understand when they need to step aside, but knows when to be there. My girls.. My girls only. They write my mum a message when its her birthday, they ask about my brothers kids as it they were the aunt themselves. Its my family, my family that Ive chosen myself.

It comes a day when you get into a relationship, the everyday routine kicks in more than before and sometimes you forget that you have friends around. Girls, lets make a promise. A promise to always travel, giggle, have girlsnights and go crazy on the dancefloor nomatter where we are, who we are with and what we are doing. Lets continue to be the perfect little family that we are.

For now & for always

In my california king bed

Another wavy night at the harbor. Lying in my bed enjoying the lullaby-motions that are about to put me to sleep. Do you have any idea how good it feels? and how good you sleep? Its a harmonic feeling that you have to try atleast once in your life. Not my bed though. haha. After a good and actually inspirational day I can atleast say that I had way to much carrot,chips and dip. Girlstalk & catchup made us completely forget the communication between the head and the greedy hands.

Why was it inspirational? Ive spoken to 3 persons that just got promoted in their job today. Its so nice when you see they get payed for their super hard work. Everything is possible as long as you work hard for it and ofcourse smile while doing it. So Ive come to understand that I will make it out there in the big world. Watch out guys.. I will take u with a storm!! Im ready to explore, attack and embrase! 2011 is gonna be a fantastic and boundbreaking year. I CAN FEEL IT!!
Night night & see you in dreamsland

Energetic Monday

Woke up with a fresh face and moving dancingfeet. Filled of energy and good vibes Im about to go to work. My body is still in Bollywood mode and Im longing back to fantastic India. 2011`s agenda def. contains backpacking in India. Got amazing people to go back to and more interesting places to see. Great week ahead of me, and winter is thankfully halfways already. A couple of months and we reach summer.
Have a great week

amazing january

Leaving sunshine, fantastic people and an amazing country behind to travel back to norway was a big DOWNER. On the plane back I couldnt find anything that tempted me to go back. Except giving my family their presents. But when I went out of the airport xpress-train, walked down to the harbor and saw THIS.. I knew it was good to be back home.

Monica & Sheila

Name: Sheila & Monica
Age: 29 and 33
Occupation: Jewelry sellers at Palolem Beach
Relation: Sisters

A hangover morning.. Im half dead suntanning at the beach. Its 11 oclock and Palolem Beach is starting to recover from yesterdays party. "Mam, henna, nice jewelery? Very good price for you my friend! Where are you from? You are so pale mam" .. I close my eyes under my big shades and pretend Im asleep. One after one passes and blurps out the same phrases every minute. All needed is HALF an hour to sleep of yesterdays fun.



After a good hours powernap Im finally starting to get to myself. With a icecold dietcoke Im chilling at my sunbed as two girls passes by. "Good morning mam, tired from yesterdays party? You want to look at some jewelery to feel better?" At once I understand that theese are my type of girls.. so I smile and shake my head politely. Still not interested but they are worth my attention.


"Where are you from miss, you are so pale. I love your skin" My name is Monica, this is my sister Sheila, whats your name mam?" I look around, its still a tired morning. Not much happening, got time to kill. "Im Mia, from Norway.. nice to meet you Monica and Sheila"


The talk goes on and Im forced to look at their bag full of jewelry. As the hour passes rapidly Im starting to understand that theese two ladies are very sweet, not just desperate sellers strawling down the beach of Palolem. With "Very good price for you my friend" pounding through my head I kindly ask them to come back the next day. Yesterdays vodka & wine killed my shoppingmood.


The next morning Sheila limps over to my sun-bed. She looks tired, so I ask her to sit down as I order a bottle of icecold water for her. She shows me a big bondage around her leg. Its aching and gives her a horrible pain up her leg. She was in a car accident five weeks ago and got her leg smashed. Today is her 2nd day back at work. Its obvious that she should be in bed recovering. I ask her why she is back at work already. I already know the answer, but the curiosity to understand more of her life drives me to the leading question. " Im a mum for two boys. They are nine and elleven. Its been hard being home for a month, no money mam, no money when Im home. You see, my husband left me four years back. I alone have to support my family now" I take a deep breath.. How can I ask more without being rude?! " If you dont mind me asking, did your husband pas away?" She leans back in the sunbed and her postiure cleary weakens. I think this lady is carrying much more pain than what I can ever understand. "You see my friend, he dies four years ago. And from then my family turned my back to me. I have my sons and my sisters now. Its not good for a woman to be without a man. After that day I havent spoken to my parents". I push my shades extra hard to the nose. I can feel the tears are forcing through but Im trying to be cool. As the first tear drops on my chin Guro comes over. I turn quickly to her and ask her to talk to Sheila while I run in the water. As Guro dont know anything of our conversation she sits down confused as I walk down to the water. I splash water in my face while I focus to stop the tears. Its just to unfair.

How can a woman loose her husband and her family at the same day? How can she walk up and down the beach with a badly bruised leg when she should be in bed recovering? How does she find the strenght to send her children to school when bringing them to the beach is a much better option? The tears turn into crocodiletears and I embarrased to be crying like a baby in the water. I gather myself and walk up to our spot again. Sheila looks at me with a big smile "Are you okey my friend? Do you want to look at some jewelery now maybe?"

India stole my heart

People are rushing past me. The smell of coffee pentrates my nose as I sit here trying to close my eyes and drift back to India. Im currently at London Heathrow airport. Europeans have so much to learn. We rush past everything, we dont give ourselves time to stop up for a little second and enjoy our surroundings. After 3 weeks in India I have learned so much about values and culture ( the 2 things we need to adapt more into Norwegian "culture" ). I have met so many fantastic people that I will introduce you to one after one. Some stories made me cry, some amazed me, some tought me something and some just made me laugh my ass off. Am I being brutal when I say that its sad to be back? So long India & all my fantastic new friends there. See you all soon for a Palolem reunion.

Lost track of the days

Entering my second week at Palolem Beach in Goa,India. The sun is burning on my body, Im drinking water more than ever before. Waking up to the view of the sparkleclear ocean right outside my door is a view that is hard to put words on. Princess of Norway is still swimming in paradise. We have met so many fantastic people from all over the world. Ive been inspired and caught up in deep conversations about Hinduism, Indian culture and food and ofcourse loong nights where we share our stories with new friends. Ups, Lauren is here .. our new fantastic Aussie friend that is so Spiritual and positive that I cant do anything else but to smile when she starts sharing her stories. I have discovered Sangria in India.. Of to have a glass..
To be continued..

Xx Mia reporting live from Paradise

Any other word that beats the word Paradise. Goa heaven

Hey guys..
Finally after a rough 40 hour day with no sleep, crazy bollywood dancing and 2 tikka masala plates after we have finally made it to GOA! Reporting live from paradise at Palolem beach.
Jaipur has been a fantastic experience. Words cant explain how nice it was meeting Sarah and Saerah Jane again, and ofcourse or dearest Nico! We have had a 3 day experience of something that is beyond paradise and all the nice things you can dream of. Palaces, 5star luxury hotels, lightshow in the mountain, new years at a big outdoor farm, driver here and driver there and dinner and breakfast served everyday. We had a rough entry to 2011 with no sleep for 40 hours. Thats what the queens do, they party all night, put on their lipgloss and go straight to the airport. We can now oficially say that Mr. Singh and the rest of his crew at the airport had a fresh start to their morning as we danced our way into to checkin 6 oclock this morning.

Now finally at Palolem Beach. As Guro has been here before I have heard alot about the place.. But havent been able to imagine how it is. And Im sorry to dissapoint you, but it is so beautiful here that I dont know how to explain it. 30 minutes after arriving we already made best friends with the Bungalo manager Sid and our man Dil who gave us our bungalo. Yamit is checking in in a couple of days and we are so excited to get to share this dream with him. Its a crazy contrast to travel from such a busy city like Dehli and Jaipur, and to come to such a chilledout and beautiful place like Palolem Beach. Guro is asleep right now but I was to excited to share with the world what we are experiencing and how amazing this is. I wish I never would need a realitycheck after this.
Dinner : 20 Kr
Bungalo pr night: 45 kr
A diet coke: 2 kr
A beer: Almost for free.
A Indian: The kindest people in the world.
Stay tuned

From Jaipur with love

Namaste dear friends! Im sure many of you have been waiting for reports from the Princess of Norway. Well as earlier assumed and mentioned the internet access isnt as easy as back home.

Arrival Dehli. Cloudy, the airport was closed the day before due to really bad weather. Noisy, the massive amount of people in one place was just shocking. Horns from cars, shoutouts from cows and voices mixed in to it all made a beautiful coctail of what I call ORGANIZED chaos! I was in a deep cultural shock for the first 7 hours of my trip. What was a well planned arrival to Dehli with departure to Jaipur only hours after, ended up being a rather chaotic start to our adventure. Train got cancelled, it was dark, we were in the Old town of Dehli (Not recomended after dark with all your money and your passport) and got a BIT stressed out of the situation. But worldknown as we are, we gathered our minds and got in to a cab around 20.00h to go to the airport.

A nice hour away from the city we happily jumped out of the cab and almost danced our way to the airport entrance. "Ticket mam" .. "ehh.. we dont have one?!?" "then you are not allowed to enter mam" .. FOR #$*(&#$ what do we do now? This is when my patinece really came to a test, but since Im travelling with fantastic G, we just looked at eachother, lit up a sigarett and started laughing. And thanks to that - our beautiful smiles.. a nice young man came over and started talking, and SWUCH before we knew it we were at a nice hotel next to the airport where they gave us a fresh room with shower and toilet ( thats not a OFCOURSE in this country) , the receptionist helped us with the busplanning to get to Jaipur the next day.. so ladies and gentleman.. HERE I AM!! In Sarah Abrahams fantastic house, with the one and only Saerah Jane, Sarah, Guro and Nico.. And Im happy to announce that I am wildy in love with the girls, Jaipur, Indian Flavours, Organized Chaos, Holy cows and everything else that comes along with India!! Have to go, breakfast and elephant riding next!!

Ps. Its winter here in the North and Im travelling with only summerclothes ( didnt know it could be winter on one side of the country and summer on the other).. so that in itselves just shows how well this trip was planned. All of this ofcourse equals and proves that I HAVENT STARTED on the TANNING part yet.

Merry Christmas everyone

Good morning.
What a week.. Packing summerclothes, wrapping xmas presents, cleaning the boat, visiting family, working, eating xmas food here and there and then finally we met christmas day. A lot of preparation for ONE day, but yet it was a perfect day. Wonderful christmas weather, cold but clearblue sky, nice food and perfect company. Thanks to all of you for understanding that a 3week holliday in India requires extra pocketmoney and a Mp3 player..

Merry christmas everyone. 2 days until takeoff, indian vibes and good life.

Its sunday again..

Pepsi-max,grandiosa,thai take away,chips,dipp,chocolate,burger king,water,broccoli,burger,pineapple,banana,chill,movies,candlelights,friends,pyjamas.. Its sunday again

Christmas silence

Its a stormy day outside.. But on the inside its all warmth. The loveboat is filled up with candlelights, and the sound of Ahmir is pounding in the walls. Im home alone.. just chillin.. trying to enjoy the silence. Its this weekend of the year where most of the inhabitants of Oslo switch places. Old ones come back to mum and dad.. while my friends are travelling up north to meet their lovedones. Im blessed to have my family close all year long (except my mum and brother D) so Im celebrating Xmas in Oslo this year.. Merry merry Xmas family in Mo i Rana and New York. Wish we all could be together.

One year has passed so fast. We will be entering a new year within two weeks. Ive felt love in so many different aspects. I enjoyed a beauitful year with my x.. two beautiful twins was born in to the family. I am so proud of my brothers and the beautiful angels they have put on earth. Ive met so many wonderful new faces this year and have been lucky to work in a place where people make me laugh every single day. Ive traveled and met old friends again and last but not least, I live on a boat. A year full of adventure and new challenges has passed and a even more interesting is waiting right around the corner.

Im kicking off the new year in India. My heart is wide open and ready to let new people, cities, and happenings in. My camera is empty and ready to be filled up with great memories. Ive been waiting for you 2011.. I welcome you to rock my world more than ever. Xx Mia

United colors of Benneton

I found a old schoolproject that i absolutely LOVE ! Our task was to make graphics/image for a plasticbag. We could choose whatever brand we wanted. Here`s mine..

The ultimate "home and sick in bed" movie

Im entering my 50th hour sick at home. Yesterday it started of with a really bad cold and a little fever. I was optimistic when I went to bed that TODAY would be a BETTER day, but I woke up worse. If you can tell me one thing that is more boring than staying home from work - ill give u a round of applause. Im now coming to realise that life without TV channels is harder than I thought. And a internet so slow that youtube wont even buffer doesnt really help.

I put on some good old dvd`s instead and layed back in bed.. The sweetest thing with Cameron Diaz, I had seriously forgot how funny that movie is! "My body is a movie.. and your penis is the star!!"

No babies.. No Weddings..

Still just a ordinary birthdayparty. Well ordinary might be the wrong word to use. Extraordinary when it comes to my group of friends. We are all happy, all single, we all enjoy life like there`s no tomorrow. And our biggest duties on sundays are to clean up yesterdays party, be hangover together in our pyjamas and laugh about yesterdays event. Still no babies, still no weddings... Pure fun with the besties!

Our december girl was the one and only Guro Elisabeth Fagerli. A blossoming flower whom Im very lucky to spend every day with.. in the boat, on the phone, at the parties and even on skype allthough we live together. She turned the nice age of 27, and ofcourse we had to rock the night away in honor to her.

Thanks for a lovely night guys.. some great memories, somethings we just want to forget, and some flashbacks that we just put in the secret box. But all in all a great party with a great group of friends for life.
