I have very fond feelings of Tromsø. This Norse city, situated honderds of kilometers above the polar cirle, is located beautifully on the narrow island Tromsøya, surrounded on all sides by fjords and islands and mountains. It feels remote and yet has every comfort you could wish for. A few years ago, I travelled to Tromsø in March, still full winter time so far up north - a very memorable trip, as it was my first try at winter camping, the first time I witnessed the northern lights, and also I got absolutely blasted by a blizzard of epic proportions. The city of Tromsø, with its restaurants, hotels, museums, cosy lights and supermarkets, was a most welcome refuge. During July 2022, I again travelled far up north by bus and train to explore the area around Tromsø in summertime: I went hiking and wild camping for two weeks on the beautiful yet quiet islands of Kvaløya and Senja.  Setting out entirely on foot is always a bit of a challenge if you're not on a established long distance...
