We’re Going To Norway!

Pack your bags, grab your passport and get excited!!

I am so thrilled to announce that I am partnering with the amazing team at La Belle Route and hosting A Northern Lights Fantasy Retreat in Tromso, Norway in March 2027!

This trip is going to be unbelievable and I am so thrilled to have chosen Norway as the destination that so closely resembles those breathtaking wintry scenes in A War Amongst The Stars.

Yeah, you heard right. This isn’t going to be just another trip. No. The team behind organizing this experience La Belle Route has curated a truly unique, immersive, and fan-centered A War Amongst The Stars itinerary where everything we do is going to relate to the story somehow bringing you closer to feeling like you are right there, living those magical moments with the characters as they did in the book. And the best part? After we arrive and get settled in, I am going to be right there with you all throughout the entire trip. Yes, me, your host and the author will get to experience everything you do. So, basically we’re going to be hanging out all week and become the best of friends.

But I’m sure dying to know what we’ll be up to on this trip, so let’s dive in.

We will arrive in Tromso, Norway on Monday, March 8, 2027 and leave March 14. So, 6 days in Norway with a full and thrilling daily itinerary that includes so much. We’re talking a tour of the beautiful Tromso on day one followed by welcome dinner and social mixer where I will give a toast to kick off our magical week beneath the arctic skies.

Day 2: We’re going to visit Tromso’s premier art gallery and cultural book space as well as partake in an experimental book binding session where we get to create our own journal from locally sourced materials. After, we’re heading to a silver ring making workshop and are literally creating our own one of a kind silver ring from scratch that we get to keep forever.

But wait. The night only gets even more exciting. There will an author led session with me back at the hotel and after, we get to celebrate my birthday on a majestic fjord dinner cruise, sailing among the Norwegian waters and witnessing the magical northern lights dance behind the snow-capped mountains.

Day 3: To simulate flying through the arctic air as Serena and Nolance did, we’re going to spend 70-80 exhilarating minutes of standing on the back of a sled, driving your own team of Arctic huskies through the breathtaking wintry wilderness.

After, lunch in the city followed by visiting a floating sauna right off the harbor where we will get to plunge right into to the arctic sea and feel just how cold the water was that Serena had dipped her hand into.

Day 4: We’re heading to a Sami reindeer camp where not only do we get to experience a full sled ride but also get the incredible opportunity to feed these majestic animals as well as enjoy a traditional lunch inside a lavvu tent.

The day will be full of live Joik performances and rich storytelling from the indigenous Sami people. And as the night goes on, so does the fun. There will be drumming, a fire, more food, storytelling and the chance to witness the northern lights beneath the starry skies.

Day 5: We’re starting off with another author led session then moving on to explore Tromso further, visiting the harbor front, historic streets, local museums, shops, bookstores and cafes.

And then, we get to go on an arctic food walk through the historic Tromso, moving between local eateries, experiencing a multi-course dinner of Norwegian delicacies.

Day 6: Starting the morning off again with an author led session and then we’re flying high. We’re taking a cable car, ascending the mountain where at the peak, we’ll have a 360 degree view of the beautiful Tromso, the surrounding fjords and the snow-peaked mountains of the Alps. There will also be a cafe on top of the mountain which would be perfect, because I’m sure I’ll be cold and want to enjoy a nice hot cup of cocoa.

The day goes on. We’ll have free time to shop for souvenirs, have lunch in the city, head back to the hotel for a book signing with muah. And then for the night, we’re chasing the northern lights, driving and staying out until our guides find us the most vivid and stunning show we’ve seen yet.

Day 7: One more breakfast at the hotel with me and then back to reality where we’ll fly home and remember this experience forever.
