Took a foldable kayak above the Arctic Circle, 400 km of wilderness and 16 days until I met someone else

Hey everyone! This summer I took two backpacks, one of them a foldable kayak, and spent several weeks above the Arctic Circle (68°North) backpacking and paddling over 400km/250 Miles through the Scandinavian wilderness. No signal, no roads, just silence and reindeer tracks instead of human footprints.

Wanted to share it a bit. Maybe it’ll inspire someone to plan their own wild escape or just give you some ideas. If anyone’s curious about the route, gear, or how the kayak handled the rough crossings, I’m happy to share what I learned. I also documented the adventure, so if you are curious, I will leave the link to the video in the comments. Have great adventures

Biked to Providence from Boston on a whim this morning. Sat at a combined bike shop/coffee shop and sipped my coffee watching life go by. Took the train home!

We’ve been on the road full-time for five months now. We planned for two years to make this dream a reality. Sixteen states and over 5,000 miles traveled to date. We quit our jobs, sold our vehicles and everything else for a life of adventure and the unknown. It’s definitely been worth it thus far!

Life is just there for the taking. Over 3 years of talking about this hike and finally made it happen a couple of weeks ago. Caves, cliffs, lakes and overcoming fears.
