Steve Rice: Nowhere Like Norway
- 1. N O W H E R E L I K E N O R WAY C R E A T E D B Y S T E V E R I C E
- 2. • There’s no denying that Norway is one of the most spectacular places in the world - and that’s a heavy sentence. • If you’ve never been to the breathtaking country that’s home to over 240,000 islands and a coastline that spreads out for over 64,000 miles, you’d better start planning your next vacation.
- 3. • The sites throughout the entirety of Norway are ones you don’t want to miss. • There truly is nowhere like Norway, and if you don’t believe that - here are just a few of the many reasons why you should…
- 4. • First, Norway has an extremely low crime rate. In fact, it’s one of the safest countries in the world. • Not only is the murder rate way below average (and almost invisible), but the incarceration rate is low as well.
- 5. • Insight as to why Norway has one of the lowest crime rates on an international level is due to the fact that the people who live there are some of the happiest people on earth!
- 6. • According to an article published by The Huffington Post, “In the United Nation’s 2013 World Happiness Report, Norway took the second place spot. The report surveyed 156 countries and looked at a number of factors, including life expectancy and health, freedom and social support,” (Miller, 25 Reasons Why Norway is the Greatest Place on Earth).
- 7. • Another reason why Norway should be at the top of your travel list is because of its allemannsrett law, which translates to “all men’s rights,” giving any human being the ability and freedom to roam and access all uncultivated land.
- 8. • This means you can hike and pitch your tent on any land that is non-cultivated. • It may not seem like a big deal, but this rule allows you to explore all of the beautiful land that Norway has to offer, not to mention the jaw-dropping views that you can’t even imagine until you see for yourself.
- 9. • Norway’s fjords are another reason the country is out-of-this-world beautiful. • Predominately located on the western coast of Norway, fjords form when glaciers retreat and sea water floods into the valleys.
- 10. • The climate around areas where there are fjords tend to be refreshingly mild and offer plentiful opportunities for outdoor activities, such as hiking and fishing.
- 11. • The Sognefjord is Norway’s deepest fjord, and drops 1,308 meters below sea level.
- 12. • Last on this list is Norway’s natural phenomenon that occurs each summer in northern Norway - 24 hours of visible sun.
- 13. • Seeing the sun at a midnight hour not only sounds poetic, but it will leave you with new perspectives on life and excited about all the beauty the world has to offer.
- 14. • Overall, there are too many reasons why you should make Norway your next place to visit, and you’ll discover even more when you arrive there yourself. • So book the ticket, take the journey, and explore a place that’s unlike any other.
