Slow Living / Silent Vlog / Cozy day in Oslo

A peaceful day in Oslo, moving slowly through ordinary moments.
I start with a quiet morning making coffee and watching the rain fall outside. Later, the weather clears and I take a walk through Aker Brygge, enjoying the soft light and calm atmosphere.

Back home, I prepare a simple chicken curry before heading out to a cozy barbecue dinner with friends. A gentle day, filled with comforting routines, connection, and the beauty of slowing down.
