Hi. I’m in Norway! Heading home next week. We are in Svalbard today. Land of polar bears, midnight sun, a Global Seed Vault, and the kind of magic that can only be found at the end of the world. I will have been traveling with my parents and two teenage sons for a week now.… Continue reading When to Stop, Drop and Take a Deep Breath
