点评:I spent a week with Nils in the heart of the Norwegian tundra at the end of November, and there are simply not enough words to describe this incredible experience. From the moment I arrived, I felt warmly welcomed. Nils is an exceptionally kind and friendly person who takes genuine pleasure in sharing his culture, traditions, and stories.
When you visit, you don’t feel like a stranger or a tourist, you become part of the authentic life of the Sami reindeer herders. There are no frills or artificial setups; what you experience is real. You truly integrate into the Sami way of life, with all its challenges and beauty.
Being a musician, I had the honor of having Nils explain, share, and joik for me nearly every evening. Joiking is a traditional Sami singing method that holds great significance for their people, and it was a privilege to experience it so intimately.
If you’re expecting a luxury trip with hotel room service and the comforts of a five-star stay, this is not the experience for you. The conditions can be tough, and the weather is unpredictable and sometimes harsh. It’s a life of resourcefulness and living in harmony with nature.
But if you choose to go, you will come back changed. The stark contrast with our modern comforts is so striking that it forces you to reflect on what truly matters. This journey was absolutely incredible, and I will remember it for a lifetime!
Thank you for this life-changing experience!
翻译:十一月底,我和尼尔斯在挪威苔原的中心地带度过了一周,这段难以置信的经历简直无法用语言来形容。从我到达的那一刻起,我就受到了热烈的欢迎。尼尔斯是一个非常善良友好的人,他真心乐意分享他的文化、传统和故事。
当你来到这里时,你不会觉得自己是个陌生人或游客,而是成为了萨米驯鹿牧民真实生活的一部分。这里没有多余的装饰或人为的安排;你所经历的都是真实的。你真正融入了萨米人的生活方式,包括它的所有挑战和美丽。
作为一名音乐家,我很荣幸尼尔斯几乎每天晚上都为我讲解、分享和唱 joik。Joiking 是一种传统的萨米人唱歌方式,对他们的人民意义重大,能如此亲密地体验它是一种荣幸。
如果你期待一次豪华旅行,包括酒店客房服务和五星级住宿的舒适,那么这次体验不适合您。条件可能很艰苦,天气变化无常,有时甚至很恶劣。这是一种足智多谋、与自然和谐相处的生活。
但如果你选择离开,回来后你会改变。与我们现代的舒适生活形成鲜明对比,这迫使你反思什么才是真正重要的。这次旅行绝对令人难以置信,我会终生难忘!
感谢你们让我有了这次改变人生的经历!
