3 Things Norwegians Taught Me About Life During My Time In The Arctic January 27, 2021
Last year, my partner and I spent some time in Norway. It was a last minute trip with which I surprised him. Seeing that the flights were really affordable and that it happened to be prime time to see the Northern Lights, I bought the tickets and figured out the details later. We ended up traveling all over Scandinavia, but we spent more time in Tromso to see nature’s light show. It is at the top of Norway, and happens to be the most visible place to see the Northern Lights on the planet. We met wild reindeer, ate stew over an open fire in the fjordlands, went through an insane arctic storm, and most notably, met some incredibly kind and impactful people. We still talk about them, and we learned so much from our time with them.
10 Life Lessons I Learned From Brazilian Culture While Living On The Coast Of Brazil January 21, 2021
When I was 19, I moved to the southeast coast of Brazil for half a year. It was the most evolutionary time in my life, and it shaped me into the person I am today. The volunteer work, poverty, and being independent from my family taught me a lot, but the Brazilian culture and people taught me more than any of that. Five years later and I can still say that I live by many things I picked up there. It’s all made me into a kinder, more outgoing, wonderstruck human being.
