When I search Airbnb, I will not deny that I always select the option that the space to rent has a Wi-Fi connection and all the necessary amenities. But at Tonny’s request, this time it was different, and of the five options I gave him, he chose this rustic cabin in the mountains in Norway. After a week of living there, I can say it was the best choice. The children had a lot of fun in the snow, playing and making a snowman. We had time for ourselves too. While I wasn’t completely disconnected from social media, I was mostly connected to myself. I had time to read, something I did not do long ago.

Simply put, the beginning of this new year has been different while staying in the mountains in Norway. I was meeting myself again and taking advantage of the present, forgetting the problems and leaving many fears behind. It was a memorable trip.
