Norway + Iceland Travel Diary!

I initially imagined the polar night in Northern Europe to be pitch black, but in Norway, I discovered an absolutely stunning blue hour 💜! When the lights come on, every stroll feels like a fairytale. Before coming, I was worried that Northern Europe would be very cold and the people would be indifferent. But everyone was incredibly friendly, and the guy who took me to chase the Northern Lights was so charming! Actually, before landing, I had a million doubts in my mind: is Northern Europe a rip-off…? But floating in the Arctic Ocean, I felt so relaxed, like I'd discovered a whole new world! After this in-depth exploration, I can confidently say: National Geographic and Lonely Planet weren't lying! The scenery really can be this beautiful! 👉Fjords🌊, Aurora Borealis, Snowscapes, ✨, Local Experiences, History & Culture 【SEL Norway + Iceland 11 Days 9 Nights Itinerary Highlights】 🧊Whale Watching Through Arctic Fjords 🧊A Breathtaking Hiking Exploration of Blue Ice Caves 🧊A Snowy Cable Car Ride 🧊Capture Life-Catching Photos at the Glacier Lagoon 🧊Strolling Along Diamond Beach 🧊Black Sand Beach × Pure White Winter Snow 🧊Unlocking the Waterfall Featured in "Thor: The Dark World" 🧊Visiting the Glacier Church and the Swing Featured in "Divas Hit the Road 2" 【SEL's Hidden Gems】 🤍Visiting a Sami Reindeer Farm, Befriending Reindeer, and Listening to the Local Elders' Stories of All Living Things 💙Staying Overnight in the Blue Lake Silica Spa Hotel: After a relaxing bath, slip on your slippers and drift off to sleep amidst the aurora borealis. 🤍 Floating on the Arctic Ocean in winter, empty your mind and let the waves carry you away.
