A guide for American voters living in Australia & overseas: How to register to vote by absentee ballot

16 June 2020

There are always going to be some Americans living overseas who donโ€™t want to get involved in US politics because they believe itโ€™s simply โ€œnot our problem anymoreโ€. I know Iโ€™ve been guilty of this in the past.  Historically, that's meant that a majority of expats, whether it's du[...]

  • With sufficient outdoor experience, sound judgement, and reasonable conditions, these 10 hikes are an excellent choice for safe winter hiking in Lofoten!

We personally completed all of these hikes in January 2026 with just microspikes + trekking poles (and no other technical climbing equipment), though it should be noted that conditions vary winter to winterโ€” and even week to week. In the event of heavy snowfall, some trails may become impassable without snowshoes or simply unsafe altogether.

**It should ALSO go without saying that you are responsible for yourself in the outdoors; this list is based on our own personal experience and must be interpreted within the bounds of your own experience and current winter conditions.

  • Although sauna culture is shared across much of the Nordic region, Norway has put its own spin on the tradition with thousands of floating, fjord-side saunas (that I am truly obsessed with).

In many coastal towns, these wood-fired saunas are moored right in the harbour, with a hatch or ladder that drops straight into the icy fjord for a cold plunge. The result is a distinctly Norwegian winter ritual: alternating intense heat and 3C seawater while surrounded by dramatic mountain and fjord scenery ๐Ÿ˜

a few of our favourite floating saunas in Norway:

  • Nearly 2,000 stone steps (installed by a Nepalese Sherpa team in 2021) have transformed Reinebringen from a notoriously dangerous ascent into a straightforward hike to the most iconic viewpoint in all of Lofoten!

In good winter conditions, itโ€™s a steep but spectacular ~45min push.

But in POOR winter conditions? Or with no experience + insufficient winter gear?? Itโ€™s a drain on the Norwegian search & rescue teams who keep having to haul tourists off the mountain.

Iโ€™m expecting some criticism for even posting about hiking Reinebringen in winter, but I believe strongly in personal accountability + responsibility in the outdoors, so I hope this empowers you to make an informed decision, whether that means tackling routes like Reinebringen or finding equally beautiful but easier + safer hikes around the islands!

  • *me frantically sending Lofoten photos to every group chat Iโ€™m part of*

We spent the last 3 weeks exploring this dramatic archipelago off the northwestern coast of Norway, high above the Arctic Circle & almost never considered a winter destination.

Yet we turned to each other no less than 10 times a day to announce that THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST TRIPS WEโ€™VE EVER TAKEN.

We hiked to empty summits without seeing another person, snapped photos on windy ridges, watched the aurora on 20 different nights, ate soup in the hot tub at 5am while it snowed around us, baked cardamom buns with our favourite friends, ran out of the sauna in towels to witness the strongest solar storm in 20 years, and had a lifetime worth of wow-moments in the span of just 22 days.

It was the kind of trip where everything just feels โœจspecialโœจ, like you already know youโ€™re going to remember it forever.

  • Norway in winter, are you insane?!!

The conditions can be brutal, temps are well below freezing, the daylight is short (for nearly 2 months, the sun doesnโ€™t rise at all)โ€ฆ. but when the weather clears and the light hits JUST RIGHT, you get pastel sunsets in the middle of the day + bright auroras at 4pm + some of the most dramatic, mind-blowing scenery you can possibly imagine.

If youโ€™re willing to be patient (and wear a lot of layers), winter might just be THE most magical time to be in Norway โ„๏ธโœจ

  • WINTER IN TROMSร˜, NORWAY: MINI TRAVEL GUIDE โ„๏ธโœจ

Above the Arctic Circle at 69.6ยฐ North, Tromsรธ is one of the best places in the world to experience a true Arctic winterโ€” explosive northern lights, snow-covered mountains, dramatic fjords, and cozy saunas after a day in the cold. 

๐Ÿ‹ WHAT TO DO
- Snowshoe in the Lyngen Alps
- Vulkana Spa Boat
- Pust Floating Sauna
- RIB boat whale watching in Skjervรธy
- Northern Lights tour
- Arctic Cathedral
- Fjellheisen cable car

๐Ÿฅ˜ WHERE TO EAT
- Mors Mat
- Nitty Gritty
- Bardus Bistro
- Fiskekompaniet
- Svermeri Kafรฉ
- Vervet Bakeri

๐Ÿ“† WHEN TO GO
Tromsรธ experiences *polar night* (where the sun literally doesnโ€™t rise) from 27 Nov - 15 Janโ€” this is the absolute best time to see the aurora AND you still get gorgeous sunset colours for several hours in the middle of the day, which can make for incredible photos! From Jan to March, daylight increases quickly, which is better for skiing and longer outdoor adventures. 

โฑ๏ธ HOW MANY DAYS
Accounting for the often extreme winter weather and limited daylight that will prevent you from doing more than 1 activity per day (and sometimes even cancel tours for several days at a time), one week is the minimum amount of time Iโ€™d recommend in Tromsรธ during the winter to really maximise your experience.

๐Ÿš— GETTING AROUND
With so much snow on the roads, weโ€™d recommend skipping the rental car and instead staying within walking distance of the city centre + choosing a few worthwhile tours who will handle the transport logistics.

With sufficient outdoor experience, sound judgement, and reasonable conditions, these 10 hikes are an excellent choice for safe winter hiking in Lofoten!

We personally completed all of these hikes in January 2026 with just microspikes + trekking poles (and no other technical climbing equipment), though it should be noted that conditions vary winter to winterโ€” and even week to week. In the event of heavy snowfall, some trails may become impassable without snowshoes or simply unsafe altogether.

Although sauna culture is shared across much of the Nordic region, Norway has put its own spin on the tradition with thousands of floating, fjord-side saunas (that I am truly obsessed with).

In many coastal towns, these wood-fired saunas are moored right in the harbour, with a hatch or ladder that drops straight into the icy fjord for a cold plunge. The result is a distinctly Norwegian winter ritual: alternating intense heat and 3C seawater while surrounded by dramatic mountain and fjord scenery ๐Ÿ˜

a few of our favourite floating saunas in Norway:
๐Ÿ“ Fjordsauna, Flรฅm @fjordsauna 
๐Ÿ“ Vulkana Arctic Spa Boat, Tromsรธ @vulkana.adventure 
๐Ÿ“ Pust Lavvo Sauna, Tromsรธ @pust.lifestyle 
๐Ÿ“ KOK Langkaia, Oslo @kokoslo.no 
๐Ÿ“ Soria Moria Sauna, Dalen @dalenhotel
