Spotlight on Norway 🇳🇴
|
Hey Reader, Have you been watching the World Cup? If not, maybe you have seen this goofy Norwegian taking the internet by storm? (That's Norwegian soccer star Erling Haaland, and he's a delight.) Thanks in part to Haaland, Norway beat Brazil (!) to be in the quarterfinals for the first time ever, in their first World Cup in 28 years. It's safe to say that Norway is having a moment, but it goes beyond their successes in the World Cup. Norway is also a European destination without the heat waves. As London and Paris bake, Norway remains cool and collected no matter what time of year you go. I recently planned a trip to Norway for clients who had some very specific requests, including attending a Black Metal festival, viewing old stave churches, doing some spectacular hikes, and kayaking under the midnight sun. There is so much to love about Norway. It has surreal nature alongside world-class cities, vibrant music and arts scenes, and of course, a sense of humor. BTW, this particular view is the Reinebringen hike, on a trail built by Nepalese sherpas - really. Read more and see the full itinerary here! -Carolyn PS. Is Norway not for you?

I am a Four Seasons Preferred Partner, too, and if you are ever looking to book a Four Seasons property, read this first....
Hey Reader, I’ve been at this travel thing for a while. But despite visiting dozens of countries, I'd like to remind you that I was a newbie once, too. And by newbie, I mean it. The first time I traveled to Africa, I felt so confident, but I was quickly humbled. I couldn't take local currency out of the bank, so I ended up trading my dollars with some guy literally in an alleyway. My first night, I ordered soup that was so spicy, tears were running down my face. And somehow, the next day I...
