Imagine being surrounded by tall trees, their massive trunks reaching towards the sky, leaves swaying gently in the breeze above. As you take a deep breath, the air is filled with the invigorating mix of earthy soil, the tang of citrus, and the comforting scent of cedar. It's an experience that's hard to describe, an indescribable feeling of pure happiness.

But have you ever questioned why a walk in the woods feels so undeniably good? The answer lies in the interesting concepts of 'Soft Fascination' and 'Restoration.' In this blog, I explore the science and marvel of these phenomena, uncovering the secrets of why nature has an unmatched ability to refresh our minds, bodies, and boost our creativity.

One of my favourite short hikes in Kristiansand, Norwary was to the Odderøya Lighthouse. The hike is perfect for anyone that loves nature, history, and of course a perfect spot for a picnic.

We got to witness a natural phenomenon like never before: the herring spawn on Vancouver Island. Watching the Ocean change colours and while unique wildlife converged to take advantage was a spectacle!
