Lofoten Islands
“One time I had come back from tour and was feeling tired and restless, so I went to a tiny village called Henningsvær by myself. It was great because I could explore the islands at my own pace. I rented an incredibly tiny red car and drove around. There is so much diversity in nature and it’s very cool. The winter is great for skiing, and the summer is tropical, with sand beaches, mountains, and turquoise water. The abandoned factory has been converted into a bar, restaurant and hotel called Trevarefabrikken It holds a small winter music festival and a summer music festival.
Hotel Union Øye
“This hotel is deep in the fjord near Ålesund, my hometown, on the west coast of Norway. It’s beautiful and romantic. It’s run by people I know, who have kept the original features. There’s a Norwegian connection to it, but also a UK one, as British travelers visited here during the 19th century. It’s the surrounding nature that is most important. “The hiking is amazing.”
Bro Kystgastronomi
“Ålesund, has been a harbor for hundreds of years, trading a lot of cod with Portugal. It’s possible to find a good coastal gastronomy restaurant in this area. It offers a full Norwegian culinary experience, building its menus around local ingredients, what vegetables are in season and the fresh catch – things such as herring crab, gazpacho with local salted gooseberries and cod from Borgundfjord.”
