Norway is Alaska with Balls!

Home, in fact, was/is a place you want to leave ASAP, and set out on a new course.
There is something innately human about exploring. The need to break free and sail away is, in fact, ancient, enduring and incessant.
Voyages trigger a concept called psychological distance: Something about the experience of leaving your place creates a shock and awe, a pathway into a new perspective that floods the brain with ideas.
Neurons that wire together fire together. Now that I have my dreamer-pilots license, I am sure I'll be "flying" again.

For me, this shift in perspective starts as soon as I'm on a cruise ship . Ships are weirdly the most lucid part of my life. Every cruise I take somehow changes my life in some way. Norway has done it again.

I feel a lot better lately: it's as if, I am on top of the world. Oh, wait a minute, @330 miles above The Arctic Circle, in Nordkapp Honningsvåg, I am on top of the world
I AM on The Top of The World.
The great journey for all travelers was once limited to explorers and expeditions, now accessible to anyone crazy enough to take a 14 day cruise to get here and back to Europe.Endless daylight is hauntingly constant, and this cliff that plunges into the endless Arctic Ocean is majestic, having Rock of Gibraltar like gravitas.
The view from all directions is mountains, and the sound of snow melting, as Mother Nature speaks, is awe-inspiring.
