If you could go anywhere you want right now, where would it be?

Where would you travel in the world if you could go anywhere you want right now?
Looking back on my latest travels and feel so grateful for everything I have seen, people I have got to know and learned from. Cultures I have got to experience, and food I have got to try around the world. I love this quote listed under, by Anthony Bourdain. I truly believe travel is the best way of learning and growing as a person.


“If you are thirty-two, physically fit, hungry to learn to be better, I urge you to travel – as far and as widely as possible sleep on floors if you have to. Find out how other people live and cook. learn from them – wherever you go.” 

— Anthony Bourdain


Spending my Sunday inside, doing some work from my laptop, planning my new week, and cleaning the apartment. Happy Sunday everyone!

New York Next ->

I hope you all are having some lazy weekend plans. I have been back in Minneapolis for the last week, catching up with some friends, spending time with Mats and finally having some meetings. Exciting things are coming up.:)



I’m off to NYC today! Mats play his first game in Madison Square Garden since he changed to The Wild. I’m excited to be there to support him on a special day with his family.
I figured out since I’m already going, I will stay for a week to make more out of the trip and make a meeting at my agency as well as catch up with my friends. Especially excited to hang out with my Swedish peeps over there that I miss having around.



I’ll try to update from NYC but it will probably be a pretty busy week where I will try to squeeze in as much as possible. Anyway, I’m already working on putting together an NYC guide for you guys. So many people have been asking me for places to eat, what to see and to do when visiting NYC. So i’m working on a list with all my best tips, including my favorite workouts there!

Milan guide. part 1.

After spending a lot of time in Milan for work, it feels amazing just to come for pleasure and fun. Its a completely different experience to visit for a few days, then living here as a model. The good thing tho is that I know the city pretty well, and how to get around. I got a lot of questions about what places I recommend to see in Milan, so I decided to make a mini travel guide with my favorite spots in Milan. I’m not a typical tourist, I like to go with the flow and take it day by day.




Pandeus, Garibaldi




We started our first day with a brunch in Garibaldi, at Pandeus. Really cozy restaurant that serves brunch, lunch and also has a bar, and is supposed to make really good drinks. I felt like having a little boost after my flight, so ordered a beet juice with ginger and apple as well as some eggs. Everything was super fresh and good. The service wase’t amazing, it seems like everything is a little bit unorganized here in Italy, at least compared to the US.



Garibaldi Area




This has grown so much since the last time I used to live in Milan, back in 2014. I remember Garibaldi was the new and upcoming spot they just finished building, now this area is one of the most popular spots in Milan. It’s always busy here, no matter what time of the day. The area is full of stores, like Nike, Sephora, Colmar, Tesla, Reply and Venchi. Venchi is my favorite chocolaterie in the entire world. Italiens know how to make good ice cream, but also chocolate. They have my favorite chocolate spread, and I always buy a ton to take home in my luggage. They also serve fresh crepes with chocolate spread, perfect after a long tourist day! Garibaldi also has good restaurants and cool cafes to hang out.




Corso Como



This is my very favorite area in Milano. You can take the green metro line to Garibaldi, and Corso Como is just two min walk from there. The street is full of smaller boutique stores, cute cafes, restaurants, and bars. This area becomes crowded around 7 o’clock when the bars and restaurants starting to get busy.


We enjoyed a drink and aperitivo on our second day at Cimmino 104 in Corso Como. I had a bloody Mary as I felt super jetlagged, after a long flight from the USA the day before.

10 Corso Como



My nr 1 restaurant in Milan, 10 Corso como is surrounded by plants and candles. Perfect to get a break from the busy city life in this little garden.
They serve traditional Italien food, with inspiration from a greener living. The restaurant is not vegan, but they do have vegan options. We ended up ordering a vegan meal: pasta with mushrooms. Super tasty! We got extremely full after the pasta, so didn’t try the dessert menu, but had a decaf coffee. Best decaf coffee I have had for a very long time.





Duomo - Town House Lounge



Some people come to Milan, only to see the famous Duomo Cathedral. Its located in the heart of Milan and is one of Italy’s most popular tourist attractions. It’s usually a line to go inside the church, so if you want to see it, I suggest coming early in the morning for fewer people. We decided not to go in, as it was packed with way too many tourists.



Instead, we decided to go on one of the rooftops for a drink to get a nice view of Duomo.
“Town house lounge” is a Michelin drink bar on one of the rooftops next to Duomo. The drinks are made by a robot machine! Pretty cool, I have never seen anything like it before. It was a pretty cold day, but thankfully they had heat lamps outside. When it started raining we left. I do recommend to visit this when the sun is shining, for a better experience! It was pretty pricy tho, maybe same as Norwegian prices for drinks. I also do recommend “Terazza Aperol” or “Obica Mozarella bar Duomo”, for a good view over Duomo. Defiantly more worth it on a sunny day tho.

Exploring new superfood spots in Minnesota

It's only my second week in Minnesota, but It feels like I have been here for a month already. I have been doing so many things and met so many people in such a short period. I had honestly thought Minnesota was a small and kind of boring place to live, but it is not! The city feels big, and there are so many things to do.



I have been spending hours after hours in home goods, target, RH and such to organize for the house. I do enjoy it, even tho if it is a lot of work.
People here are so helpful and genuine every time I ask someone for help. I also got a car now, which I was pretty nervous about at first. I have been in the states for 3 years now, but I always avoiding driving. I felt like I had to challenge myself when we moved here. Minnesota is not like NYC with a subway right outside your door. Being able to drive gives me much more freedom.



One of the girls from the Wild team is from Finland. She and her husband live close to us, so we have been spending a lot of time together in the last few days. It's always something special about the Scandinavian culture and how you bond with each other. She shows me all the cute spots, I'm adding some pictures under from our lunch at ¨Crisp and Greens¨ in Minnesota yesterday. 
The place is super cute and with all kind of options, also for the vegans! I did a green bowl yesterday, with chickpeas, carrots, tuna, feta, avocado, spinach and some super tasty ginger dressing. I do recommend this place, super clean and and the service was great too! Also an option to be seated outside, (like we did) when the weather is good.


Hope you all have had a good week and is as excited as I am about the weekend. I am going to a concert today, which Im really looking forward to! Tomorrow it is the Wilds first home game, here in Minnesota. I am super excited to be there and see Mats on the ice again, lets hope for a win!
Minnesota has been warm and nice the last few days, but the rain just started. Rumors told me it will snow this weekend. Gotta get prepared for some cold winter months, even tho I'm pretty used to cold weather.

Goodbye Norway <3 Ready for new adventures

My last days in Oslo have been pretty hectic. I always feel like I have things under control until I realize I am leaving in less than 24 hours. I completely forgot I had to reply for the Esta, since I had an American visa the last 3 years I didn’t really think about it. I replied for my Esta less than 24 hours ago, and it normally takes 72 hours to get it confirmed. Hopefully I get it in time before my flight, which takes off in an hour. Fingers crossed!


As we speak I'm sitting in the lounge with a huge cup of coffee, waiting to board on my flight to Minnesota!
I only slept for a few hours tonight, as I was packing and trying different outfits to figure out what to wear for tomorrow's, or actually today team dinner (with the time difference). I will probably go straight from the airport to the dinner, so hopefully, I will get some rest on the plane. 



I'm super excited to see Mats again and explore a new city with new people! Always sad to leave Norway, but since I am waiting for my next O1 visa, I have to go back to Norway soon for the interview at the American embassy. I will try to update from Minnesota, but will probably be super busy first few weeks with settling in and getting to know a new city and how everything works over there. ts time to get pushed out of the comfort zone again. Its all so new, and I feel nervous and excited at the same time!



Wish you all a great and lazy Sunday. I hope you sleep long and get some rest before kicking off a new week tomorrow.

Nomade Miami

As many of you know, one of my favorite hobbies while Im traveling is to check out new superfood spots.
While I was in Miami in March month I explored a lot of new, dope places that I want to share with you.


My girlfriend Molly Strauss is one of my very close friends from modeling. We got to know each other the very first time I came to Miami almost 3 years ago.
She was my roommate back then, and when you share a room with someone, you get to know each other really fast. Now it feels like I have known her for a lifetime.


We have some big passions in common; We both love nature, and quality super food, or soul food like we call it. Our religion is the universe and Mother Nature. We can have the deepest conersations about energies, daily experiences from work or just the life journey in general. Yep, pretty nerdy. I know.
We always joke about it and call ourself grandmas. Because we enjoy cooking and drinking tea, while our friends go crazy on the parties in Miami.


Molly invited me to this extremely cute spot while I visited her. I absolutly loved it! The vibe is inspired by Tulum. For those of you who have been there, you would know what Im talking about. The interior is nomadish, with dream catchers hanging from the ceiling, and their meals are freshly prepared by their own chef right in front of you.


The little restaurant is located pretty random, in the middle of nowhere, in a different part of Wynwood District. Definitely worth the experience, especially if you are in that area. There is so much to explore around in Wynwood District. It is completely different then all the typical fancy South beach spots. This place go back to the roots and got a homy, personal touch. We both ordered a big bowl topped with fresh grilled salmon, soo good!


Have a great Thursday, almost weekend guys. Keep it up!
NYC is freezing and I can’t wait for the weekend to start and hopefully the sun will come back soon.


All best, Eline S

D/RT - Eat Clean

Hey!

En av de siste dagene før avreise fra Miami var jeg og noen venninner å sjekket ut DIRT på South Beach. Jeg kan bekrefte at maten både er super tasty og insta vennlig!

Konseptet til Dirt er superfood. Hver rett på menyen er proppfull av superfoods og næringsstoffer.
Tallerknene er fargerike og inspirerende!

De har både veganske og gluten frie alternativer på menyen for de plante baserte. Også High protein og Paleo vennlige retter for kjøtt elskerne og gutta krutt.
Dirt bryr seg om planeten, og kjøttet deres er markert som Grass fed.

Vi bestilte rødbet salat, acai bowl, matcha pannekaker med mandel mel, søtpotet og en karri blomkål/kål bowl.. YUM!
Absolutt verdt å ta turen, hvis man befinner deg i Miami.

Jeg er på plass i NYC og har hatt en spennende helg, både jobbmessig og sosialt.
Så utrolig deilig med vår i luften her i New York. Blomster på trærne, fuglekvitter å folk som sitter ute å tar seg en matbit, eller bare nyter livet!

Ønsker alle en super start på en ny uke.
Snakkes snart.

Orlando- TV-commerical and Touristing

De siste par dagene har vært travle her i Florida, men jeg bestemte meg for å gjøre en tur ut av jobbreisen og booket inn en natt ekstra. Vanligvis er jeg så sliten etter en shoot at jeg pleier å reise rett hjem, men jeg angrer alltid etterpå. 

En god venn av meg bor i Orlando og tilba seg å hente meg på flyplassen for å være turistguide for en dag. Det er faktisk en av de fineste tingene etter så mange år med modelljobbing - jeg har venner over hele verden, og det er jo faktisk veldig kult!

Vi bestemte oss for å utforske byen på sykkel. Først syklet vi inn til Orlando by før vi dro videre til Downtown og ruslet rundt i farmers market. En av de beste tingene jeg vet med USA er at de arrangerer markeder, og i Orlando holdes det hver helg. Markedet hadde alt fra kunst og forskjellige smakstilsatte popcorn, til nylagde acai bowls og juicer. Vi endte opp med å sykle 20 km den dagen, og jeg synes det er veldig deilig å oppleve en by på den måten for det slår aldri feil å være aktiv utendørs. 

Orlando var generelt en ganske kul by og det er kun 4,5 timer med bil eller 1 time med fly fra Miami. Jeg anbefaler derfor å ta turen til Orlando hvis man først er i Miami. Byen har mange pene innsjøer og hyggelige mennesker, men maten var midt på treet og kan ikke måles med Miami etter min mening. 

Selve jobben var superenkel! Jeg var booket for en hele dag, men kunden fikk det de trengte veldig raskt og vi var ferdig allerede kl 14. Vi filmet en TV reklame som skal vises på flere kanaler her i USA, men jeg får egentlig ikke lov til å vise noen BTS (bak kamera bilder), før reklamen er ute. 

Nå er jeg tilbake i Miami og har en ny shoot i morgen. Jeg er sliten etter mye reising og jobb denne uken, og skal nå krype til køys.

Snakkes snart, E! :)  



I decided making a trip out of my job in Orlando and stay for an extra day. 
Often when I go somewhere for work, Im too exhausted to see or do anything after the shoot, but always regret it. 
One of my good friends live out there and offered to pick me up at the AirPort and be my tourist guide for a full day! That is really one of the nice things about so many year of modeling. I really do have friends all over the world, wich is pretty damn cool!

We decided to do the touristing by bike. We biked into the City of Orlando and futher downtown where we parked our bikes and went walking around farmers market to pick up some fresh fruits and iced coffee. There is a huge farmers market downtown Orlando, every weekend. This is really one of my favorite things to do in any new city in the states. They got everything from art to different flavored popcorn, to fresh made açaí bowls and juices. We ended up biking 20km that day, gotta love being active outdoors and explore new places!

Orlando was overall a cool city. Only 4,5 hours by car, and 1h by plane, so probably worth a visit if you are already in Miami. So mang pretty Lakes everywhere and people were super friendly. The food was so/so- typical American. Not even close to Miami level - in my opinion.

My work day, the next day was super easy. Was booked for a full day, but they got what they needed from me behind the lence pretty fast. So I was done already around 2pm. 
We were filming a commercial wich will run on all over Americas national TV channels. 
Im not really allowed to post anything from behind the scenes before its out.

Im back in Miami with a new shoot tomorrow. Pretty tired after traveling and little sleep this week. Excited to get some sleep tonight.
Hope u all had a great week so far. 

Talk soon, E! :)








Velkommen/Welcome to By Eline

IMG_9070.JPG

Jeg er super excited for å endelig ha min egen nettside på plass, som flinkeste Marlene (@mallyandthemoon) har hjulpet meg med å lage.

På denne siden kommer jeg til å dele nye #foodbyeline mat oppskrifter, travel guides fra reisene mine og litt fra hverdagen min.

Det som deles her blir solskinns-sidene og glansbildene fra hverdagen min.
Jeg håper jeg kan inspirere andre til en kreativ hverdag og sunn livsstil!

Akkurat nå er jeg i Miami. Litt jobb, kombinert med ferie blir aldri feil. 
Elsker å cruise rundt på south beach på en bysykkel, dra på stranden og sjekke ut nye sunne ¨health spots¨. Forrige uke var jeg på Miami Open med noen venninner, super kul opplevelse! Selv for meg som egentlig ikke kan noe særlig om tennis.

I skrivende stund sitter jeg å booker en billett til Orlando for en reklame jobb jeg skal gjøre der neste uke. Vurderer sterkt å kombinere det med en tur til Disney world!

Ønsker alle en super helg! 
Slenger med litt bilder fra siste tiden her i Miami.

I'm super excited to finally have my own website ready! The best Marlene (@mallyandthemoon), has helped me creating the web.

What is shared here is the sunny sides and the highlight from my life.
I hope I can inspire others to a creative everyday life and a healthy lifestyle!

Right now I'm in Miami. Some work, combined with vacation never goes wrong. I love to cruise around South Beach on a city bike, go to the beach and check out new ¨health spots¨. Last week I was at the Miami Open with some girlfriends, it really was a super cool experience! Even for me who barely knows anything about tennis.

As we speak I’m booking my ticket to Orlando for a commercial I’m shooting there next week.
Really considering combining it with a Disney world experience!

Wishing everyone a great weekend!
Adding some pics from the last few weeks here in Miami.
