How I did it
How to visit Svalbard
It took me

get a dog
The best 17 months ago

Far and a way one of the best things I have ever done. I hadn’t had a dog since I was 10. Any small amount of responsibility you have to put up with is nothing compared with the joy derived from such wonderful animals.
