There is a day in your life when evetything is turning over upsode down. Whole life, everything what you have done so far becomes nothing. You are getting to the place where you meet people, you are listening to their stories and you already know that you will never be like you were before. You are becoming someone else, growing, in a few moments you know what is the most important in life and what doesn't matter. Maturation in these moments goes very quickly. Yoy have started something and suddenly you know that it will not be ended quickly... all the plans have chcnaged. The only thing is that, you don't know anything, you are somewhere and you don't know where, you are going somewhere and you don't know where, you are looking for something and you don't know what.

I reached the North Cape

Not this one with thousands of tourists who come there comfortably in buses and cars. I quitted the tourist's paths and walked through the hills.

Knivskjellodden. A few days... In the rain, the strong wind, tired, hungry, walking on the splippery stones with 25kg in backpack, 6 slices of bread, the cheapest sausages, water from a stream and happines which cannot be described.

The most important in this trio is meeting people and here on the edge of continental Europe they are giving me strength and learn a new perspective in life. The most wonderful thing is that I like it. That's already how I want to live.

People... I'm sitting in the kitchen, at Arn't home in Sarnes village. Beside me, a Frenchman who has been travelling for lat 32 years, he walked most of the way by foot, without money, only working on the way. Next is 20 year old Romanian guy travelleing for last two years. Then Japanese - three years in travel, 33 thousand kilometers on the bike. Argentinian artist, who lives in his country at altitude 4300 m, he quitted everything and hes started painting. There are also Polish, Belgian and Italian people. At the end the most important -  Arnt, who is hosting us in his house... the best of the best:)

I deciced to stay here for two weeks and help in renovating the house
