I wake up to the sound of the wind buffeting the cloth of my tent. Even though the sun is brightly shining, telling whether it is morning or night is impossible. I’m above the Arctic Circle, where in summer the sun never sets. Checking my watch, I see that it is 7:30 a.m. I leave my tent and walk over to the mountain edge…
A Summer Where the Sun Never Sleeps

For hundreds of years, looking after reindeer was a way of life for the Sami. They used the reindeer’s meat for food…,the Sami would pick up tents and accompany them .Today, most Sami have houses in villages near Sarek and live a modern life ... But every spring, a small number of Sami still follow their reindeer into the valleys of Sarek, living in tents or old cottages and enjoying their traditions. I am not a Sami, but in Sarek I’ve adopted some of their habits. ...

After breakfast, I pack my bag and set out again…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.

Here I am, alone under this broad sky, breathing the fresh air, and enjoying this great adventure. What could be better
