Right. Set the ipod to a listener friendly song and lets begin. My journey to Norway began long before I arrived, since it was such a puzzle for me to find the most effective way of transport there from the central Swedish countryside. Two weeks before I arrived here I was draming about the impossibilities of it all; one week to go and it had become the next hardest thing to a Rubik cube.

Lapland, inside the arctic circle. Inari, the capital of Lapland. Sami, native nomadic people. This is one place on earth that I never expected to find myself.
