Well, isn’t that life? When it rains it pours, and thankfully, at this particular time in life it’s in the positive sense of the expression. In the past few months, many of my dreams have been coming to fruition. I opened my very own gallery and gift shop, Once Upon a Dream, on May 13 (check out some before and after pictures here). It really is a dream come true and a thrill to be so well-received by locals and tourists alike.
At the same time, I was given the opportunity to write an English column in the local Norwegian newspaper, focussed on providing information to tourists during the summer season. A wonderful and surprising outcome from writing Experience North Cape.


And in addition to the gallery and the newspaper column, I’ve published a book: A North Cape Winter: 71 Degrees North of the Equator.

So, to celebrate all these milestones and to say thank you for all the overwhelming support, I’m giving away a copy of the book. If you don’t live here and win it, maybe you’ll be tempted to take a trip to one of the most spectacular places on the planet – the North Cape of Norway.
Here’s how to put your name in the drawing:
Like Experience North Cape Facebook page.
If you already “like” it, then you can “Like” Once Upon a Dream Facebook page and still be qualified for the drawing.
OR if you already like both, then you can say so in a comment on Experience North Cape’s page and share the page on your FB profile.
I’ll be drawing the winning name on Monday, May 9th and posting the results that day.
Best of luck!
Congratulations, Erica…what a wonderful rain to have in your life. 🙂
