Our journey started off by flying from Amsterdam to Oslo and then catching another plane to Evenes. Afterwards, we drove up to Abisko, where we set up our base for the 3-day road trip we had planned.

Abisko is a small village in Sweden, close to the borders of Norway. It shelters many different arctic animals, and we were very lucky to see a family of moose and reindeer. (Btw, you should be careful if you ever encounter moose & their calf.)

During our “Aurora Borealis” chase, we initially were guided by Matias Salo (Day Out Narvik), who shared with us some tips & tricks on how to spot the lights. He went over & beyond in driving us more than 3 hours (one way!) through a snowstorm (!!!) to experience the Northern Lights.

Norway/Sweden has incredible views that one should most definitely add to their bucket list. Our next trip planned to the North will be in Skjervoy - dancing with the Orcas.
