Following on from a lengthy sojourn in the cold but beautiful Swiss resort of Villars Norman decided it was time to head to warmer climes. Having heard they were about to celebrate their legendary (and world renowned) annual ‘Carnaval’ his curiosity was piqued. Parades? Dancing? Costumes? What could this all mean? First, however, he had [...]
You may remember Norman was last seen soaking up the Christmas cheer in Gothenburg. It was here he also enjoyed the company of a certain Norse warrior; so tough she thought nothing of wearing a two-piece in Sweden’s sub-zero temperatures. Was it love? Are Norman and Normina about to become the biggest power couple since [...]
After a considerably warmer trip back in September, the audacious Norman decided that hunting for a home just wasn’t enough. It’s all very well spending a night beneath the stars camping in Dalsland or admiring the view from his sea-front cabin in Bohuslän, but as his (occasionally) blue-hued nose warmed by the roaring fire, he realised: [...]
After a rather chilly start to his Sweden adventure in Dalsland, Norman soon warmed to the area, and decided to head west to explore the coast. His blue nose had returned to its normal hue and his mood had lifted. Norman the Nomad was back with a vengeance! He checked out the map and hot-footed [...]
Norman, our tame Nomad, has ventured all over the planet. He only drops into the My Destination office now and again to show off his latest globe-trotting snaps and home-movies. Still, we raised an eyebrow when he wandered in looking more dishevelled than usual, brushing red sand from his beard and muttering dejectedly about ‘space [...]
Looks like Norman’s contemplating life itself, doesn’t it? Well, don’t be fooled – he’s not. He is actually sulking. Epically. Some background: Norm is basically a global celebrity now (as if you didn’t know). He has been conquering and charming his way all over the world since time immemorial (aka November 2011). But on a recent [...]
There’s been some controversy regarding the rights to Olympic terminology (and we approach this paragraph with some trepidation). The truth is that everyone just wants to be part of the world’s biggest sporting event, which officially kicks off in London today! Even our little Norm hitchhiked his way into the city to try his hand [...]
When Norman visited the world’s northernmost capital city last month, he wasn’t just going for the barbarian nightlife, the salubrious salmon fishing, or the chance to replenish his withered body and soul in Reykjavik’s geothermally-charged spas and pools, he was tracing the muddy steps of his ancestor, a Norse named Ingólfur Arnarson, who happened upon [...]
There are some who say that Norman was borne of the wind. That he was a free-wheeling spirit who just happened to pop into existence one day and has been hanging about ever since, perhaps hoping to be bought a beer or two. The fact is, we really don’t know a great deal about our [...]
Beers, Beaver Tails and Conquering British Columbia Although he’s not one for emotional outbursts, we often hear our Norm pining for the fjords of his Norwegian homeland. So when we surprised him with a trip to the gloriously grand snowy mountains of Canada, he jumped for joy (figuratively speaking) and immediately started packing his impressive [...]
We know that journeying from place to place can sometimes take a while, and calls of ‘Are we there yet?’ can be somewhat distracting. In light of this we’ve come
