Ever since i saw the BBC documentary ‘In the Land of the Northern Lights‘ with Absolutely Fabulous’ very own Joanna Lumley, I have for years wanted to make the same trip. This weekend I made the trip to Tromsø in the north of Norway to get a first glimpse. The weather conditions were not idle, and the auroras were not strong. But after making our way across the border to Finland, we found an open patch between the skies. It was an honour being guided by the same aurora hunter, Kjetil Skogli,  that had years ago guided Joanna. Being a native Norwegian myself, it was e special occasion, since I had never seen the northern lights. And I am now looking forward to going back, putting my new skills at work.
