Thank you so much for commenting! Yes, it's a very expensive destination; I feel very lucky to have had the opportunity to go. I wish you all the best, and I'm sure you can get there eventually!
Norway is definitely on my go-to list as well--not sure about the ice bear village though, haha. Thank you so much for sharing. This world is so fascinating.
