  • Growing up in a little red house on the edge of a large forest in Norway, there were three things we were encouraged to be.

  • To be kind, to be honest, and to be hard-working.

  • These are things that each of us can control.

  • Over time, I've come to add a fourth: Be curious.

  • Be curious about the world around us, about the history and cultures of places we have yet to go.

  • And then go.

  • Go with an open heart and a curious mind, and you will find inspiration anew.

  • The world awaits.

  • Be curious.

  • Viking.

  • Exploring the world in comfort.
