Sometimes the greatest adventure begins with a single sentence.

“Come with me to Tromsø!”

So simple. So unexpected. So wonderfully wild.

This slightly adapted prayer came to mind the moment a friend invited me to travel with her to the far North. It’s a special moment in time: her birthday is coming up, and just like me, she currently has the freedom to take a little break — no appointments, no work, just living, breathing, experiencing.

Somewhere between calm and excitement, courage and childlike anticipation, lies about one month — our countdown to Tromsø.

In the coming weeks, I’ll take you along on this journey: in thoughts, in photos, in small stories — about friendship, freedom, light and cold, about courage and stillness, about the feeling of awe beneath the polar sky.

EDIT: At the end of November, my friend changed her mind. I also wrote a blog post about this in six languages.
