Sample Book Insights:
#1 I, too, went to Australia as an exchange student. I didn’t expect to come back with much more than a good tan and a backpack full of good memories. Instead, I came back with a boyfriend from rural Indiana.
#2 I noticed that, parallel with the hard-core outdoor culture, there were forces at work in American society that seemed to create a divide between humans and nature. I didn’t reflect on what all this might mean if we were to have children.
#3 In Scandinavia, it would be easy to make excuses for not going outside. The northern part of Scandinavia, which comprises Sweden, Denmark, and Norway, experiences a polar night every year for twenty-seven days, peaking with the winter solstice in late December.
#4 In the summer, the weather can be a toss-up, with temperatures sometimes hot and sunny in the south, but often cool and rainy in the north. As a result, Swedes are constantly on the lookout for good weather, and when they find it, they take advantage of it.
