Relax and Learn Norwegian: Summer Storm ASMR 🎧 ⛈️🇳🇴
Experience the soothing sounds of a summer thunderstorm on a Norwegian farm in this immersive ASMR episode. Join me as I describe the warm, humid ("lummert") weather that leads to the dramatic arrival of rain, thunder, and lightning. I'll open my balcony door so you can fully experience the sounds of the storm, along with some farm sounds like a tractor driving by.
I'll also be experimenting with integrating music into my podcast using a loop station. Let me know what you think of this unique auditory experience! 🎶

Episode Title: Reflections and Woolly Pigs – What I’ve Been Up to Lately
Episode Description:
In this episode, I share some reflections on the past few months and what's been happening in my life. I talk about the quiet life in the countryside, the feeling of being alone, and how I’ve been processing emotions like fear and joy. I also touch on new connections and learning to lean on someone other than Jonas.
On the lighter side, I dive into the chaos of farm life—unexpected piglets, runaway pigs, and how I’ve gotten more involved in farm chores than I ever expected. From building fences to blueberry picking, there’s never a dull moment!
What You’ll Hear:
- How I’ve been handling change and embracing solitude.
- The joy of seeing life through someone else's eyes.
- The story of Alexander, woolly pigs, and surprise piglets.
- The ups and downs of managing life on the farm.
- Why nature walks and berry picking have been my escape.
- A few thoughts on finding balance in life and love.
