The family who, through play and outdoor activities, found more time for life and each other.

In 2019, the family of three noticed that everyday life was becoming too hectic. There was a lot to fix and organize, but little time to live and play. The spark in life went out and the relationship deteriorated. This led to a drastic plan and solution. In the spring of 2021, the family packed their bags and walked out the door at home in Oslo with a compass heading north. In nine months, they walked until there was no more Norway left, all the way to the North Cape. Nature has always been Ole and Ingrid's refuge, it is where everyday stress disappears, and where fires and sparks are lit. It is where the smell of tyri fills the nose, wool warms and the senses once again come to the fore.

After the trip to North Cape, they have played with the framework for what life as a family should be and what it should look like. They have worked reduced hours for periods and taken Mons out of first class to explore the American wilderness as a family. They have found a return to play and spontaneity, and the to-do list has become shorter. They have fewer things, work less and live more.

In the new year, the family will be three to four, when a little brother arrives. They are excited to see if they can keep the playfulness and spontaneity into a new toddler phase. What kind of setting will be good? The family dreams of spending their leave together in Northern Norway, a place where mountains meet sea and horizons.
