Lost in the whiteout

Norway, Lyngen Alps. February 11, 2019.

Yesterday evening I had discovered three small lakes on the map only 1.5 km away from Anton’s beautiful cottage we were living this week – the Hytte i Lyngsalpene, see this map (the cottage is marked in red).

If there was some time between two coaching units or two meetings – well, I knew what to do. It was the time when I founded my company, and in the startup time I created a solid base for it’s future development.
