Heading home after a fantastic first trip to #Oslo

Heading home after a fantastic first trip to #Oslo and #Longyearbyen, #Norway. 🩵❄️🇳🇴💕⚡

It'll be my last trip for a bit, but certainly not the last adventure. There's much, much more on the way to cap 2023 and begin 2024. I'm grateful for the memories and opportunity to #travel. 💕

Special thanks to Citi #thankyoupoints for the free hotels and Amex #membershiprewards for the business class flights on Air France, SAS, and SWISS. #pointsandmiles have truly opened the world to me in ways I never expected. 🙏🏻🤲🧿

❄️🩵❄️ Last full day in #Svalbard 😭💕🇳🇴

01: all the mountains here are plateau mountains, meaning they're flat on top 🌋
02: winter gear lewks 🧊
03: road to #Longyearbyen 🛣️
04 and 05: a husky cafe are you kidding me 😻
06: mail letters to Santa 🎅🏻 (for the local kiddos)
07: art inside the local church ⛪
08: polar bear crossing take two 🐻‍❄
09 and 10: by far today's highlight, a visit to see the Global Seed Vault, where the seeds from 120+ countries are stored 400 meters underground in permafrost in case humanity ceases to exist 🌱

Tomorrow I begin the two-day trek back home. This has been an amazing trip. I wanna come back in summer for the #MidnightSun. ☀️

Wow, @choicehotels continues to absolutely kill it

Wow, @choicehotels continues to absolutely kill it with the lobby, seating, bar, and restaurant at @funkenlodge in #Svalbard of all places! 🩵

Again, 12,000 Choice points/6,000 Citi ThankYou points per night: a total steal and $0 out of pocket. I'm so impressed. This place is gorgeous! Amazing that I'm at the end of the world, a stone's throw from the North Pole with all this beautiful ambiance. Can't recommend this enough.🎅🏻

Today I'm in #Svalbard, deep within the Arctic Cir

Today I'm in #Svalbard, deep within the Arctic Circle and only 400 miles from the North Pole. 🩵❄️ This is the farthest north I've ever been—and what a journey.

It's totally dark. I won't see a sunrise during my time here. Population around 2,000 and in the northernmost city on Earth, technically a part of #Norway.

Polar bears are wild here. And we passed the Seed Vault—the one that preserves all of humanity's plants—on the way to the hotel. What a fascinating place. 🐻‍❄🧊🇳🇴

The @scandic_holmenkollen_park is a sprawling hotel and the location of our @wendyperrin conference! ❄️🇳🇴✨

We'll drive into travel topics over the next two days before heading to Svalbard. Incredible location, views, food, and people. Looking forward to the next couple of days here in #Oslo! 😛

Went to my first European Christmas market! 🎄❄️🇳🇴

Now I can say I've had glogg (a hot spiced drink) next to a fire while listening to a talking moose! 🤣🔥🧤So nice to try the foods, see the crafts, and enjoy the season.

Can we talk about this chic, swanky lobby at @clarioncollectionsavoy? So modern and fun! The rooms are cute and cozy, too. And the location is phenomenal - right in Oslo's city center! 🇳🇴🌆🌕

I paid 12,000 @choicehotels points per night, transferred at a 2:1 ratio from Citi ThankYou points. That's 6,000 points per night - a total steal. And ThankYou points are incredibly easy to earn. 🤲🧿

The room was totally free. Hotels in Scandinavia can be notoriously expensive - but they don't have to be. This stay has gotten me more curious about @choicehotels points. 🕵🏻️‍♂️

The @airfrance lounge at CDG has a spa, nap rooms

The @airfrance lounge at CDG has a spa, nap rooms (I slumbered), tons of free food and drink options (I dined), and plenty of seating to watch planes through floor-to-ceiling windows (I peeped). 😻🛫

Our little bird had a quick meal service, then I got my first glimpse of Norway... 🇳🇴
