  • 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.
