Sight Touch Smell Taste Sound
Sight
Spreading out before me, branches of the Rapa River flow through the valley below… At the far side of the valley, an ancient Sami cottage is visible. Close by, there are a few reindeer feeding on grass.
Touch
Since I must carry all of my food and supplies with me, my bag weighs about 30 kilograms. If today is anything like yesterday, it will be full of sweat and hard work as I hike over this difficult land to my destination on the other side of the valley.
Smell
Here I am, alone… breathing the fresh air, and enjoying this great adventure.
Taste
For example, this morning my breakfast is flat bread warmed over a fire, dried reindeer meat, and some sweet and sour berries that I found growing near my tent.
Sound
I wake up to the sound of the wind buffeting the cloth of my tent.
