Refused to actually take a pin and rotate that pin on a piece of cotton around the position of Trump, sir. Then you're closer to the North Pole than you are.

Though the landscape of northern Norway is pristine and beautiful, it's probably one of my favorite places on the planet. The mountains bear so dramatic, and they come straight down to the beaches on the edge of a sea. The kayak is just a perfect tool for exploring these fjords, and the interaction between you and the whales is so unique. When you're in a kayak, you're close enough to experience the energy of what's going on. A pod of killer whales comes swimming past you, and they don't even turn sideways to look at you because they're chasing the heron.

The same with the humpbacks. You are a part of that food chain; you're experiencing it wider with the very crux of what's going on. Never had a boring day paddling in northern Norway. The scenery is always unfolding, and it's always majestic.

In this blend, Masami used to consider it, or Borealis were their spiritual ancestors. It puts a whole mystical element into the north of Scandinavia. But have boundless energy; nothing about one of the most fuel-efficient animals on the planet but husky. That energy crosses over to you when you're caught up in the pack—a unique way of travel. You know, it's going much more a way of traveling in the northern highlands of snow and mountain, and it's absolutely beautiful.

Guiding people in this environment is unique, as much as being able to take someone from a society that's wrapped up for the majority of a year in cotton wool and be able to remove that cotton wool and take them out into the wild. I'm always looking for that wow factor, that expectation that around the corner is going to be something that's going to blow their minds away. Other people that will travel in with you—it is an amazing honor and pleasure to be able to experience that as a guide.
