Bikinis to Earmuffs – Norway

I met a millennial in Copenhagen on my way to Oslo. She is from Oslo, but was returning from a fashion internship in Denmark arranged by her college in Sweden. All 3 countries in one day….sounds like 3 states in New England in one day…..global perspectives!!

She saw the way I was dressed from southern Europe and said she hoped I had my earmuffs packed.  It has already snowed 2 hrs from Oslo and Kirkenes (pronounced “Kirk En Ness”) is much further north. The border of Norway and Russia is the northernmost point of Europe. Is the Arctic Circle on anyone’s bucket list?? Maybe my bikini (really a one piece Miracle suit more appropriate for baby boomer tour directors!) will stay packed until I return to Florida…LOL.

Seven years ago …..seems like yesterday I was presented with the opportunity to explore and experience the world with tour guests. So glad I did not hesitate at this fork in my life. Little did I realize how authentic life experiences in other countries would keep me young while opening  my eyes and mind to the true “value” of diversity and all materialistic things.

Please follow and enjoy my thoughts, pictures and videos as I travel through Norway with Hurtigruten. Singles Travel International and hopefully YOU will be doing this same route in August 2018…one month earlier. Just remember I double majored in math/chemistry and published scientific journal articles, not prose, poems or creative short stories.
