    After a long-life persuit of love, luck, hunt for riches, adventure, exciting meetings, at one point one must consider the question: Is it all worth it, and more importantly, is it all possible? Can one have everything?

    Take a journey to the pole circle. Follow me to see trough my eyes the country that I love so much and which has given me all the little things that we thrive on and more. Although the means of transportation are many during the summer, I got here on foot. I would suggest The "Inlandsbana" Inland railway to see the never-dying sun. In the summer, perhaps close to midsummer from Kristinehamn in the south to Gllivare in the north.One thousand- three- hundred kilometers through Swedish forests, past beautiful lakes and herds of reindeer, into beaver country, across bogs and into picturesque small communities.

    A journey on the Inland Railway is a unique getaway from the stress of daily life, but actually it is a very inexpesive way of traveling during the summer. It is only active during the summer, though. Swebus is the other recommended way, but 1000 miles might hurt your rear end somewhat. Honestly, all of us have had the experience of trying to find the right postition to sleep on a bus or train, so here is a faster alternative: Direct air connections from central Europe to Arvidsjaur during the winter period.

    For a couple of pounds, a friend advised me that the real price is a 159 pounds including return from London to Arvidsjaur with good old Skyway. Lunch is served during the flight, but in no comparison to the reindeer or moose stew you get served after you have taken the snow scooter upon arrival at the airport.

    Once you are there, you will find the various hills and mountains enchanting with lots of slopes. Here is the drawback: You can try as much as you like. There is no possible line in which to cut. There are no waiting lines!!!

    There is no one for whom to curse or fuss at all! You go up the hill with the lift and carve your way back to town. This is possible, because the hills are located around the town. There is no GPS necessary. It is impossible to get lost.

    If you would like to know how to handle a GPS, then the K4 regiment might be the thing for you. Swedens most modern military regiment. Here, combat soldiers are trained in this rugged landscape. This is the only regiment in the nation which offers public tours. Among attractions are art collections, a collection of Lapp handicrafts and also prizes of war, as well as uniforms. Advanced reservations are required for foreign citizens. It does not take long to obtain permission.
