In 2008 I went on a 10 day pack-trip and had the experience of a lifetime, far away from the comforts of cozy Denmark. Since then I always had it in the back of my head to come back, but as an intern… I have worked harder than ever before, done things that was new to me close to every day, like woodlot-assistant, been on hunts, shoeing, packing, worming, bush-riding, staking, hobbling, research and marketing and management for the Wilderness Stewardship Foundation, driving a skidder, planning and organizing in an ever changing environment, learning about tracking and behavior of wildlife, bear-safety, chasing and trekking horses … and all the time appreciating the clear sky and bright stars, fresh air and amazing scenery. … Off work I have been hiking, walking dogs, riding horses, done target-shooting, played UNO, reading in front of the fireplace and hanging out with new good friends. … I don’t know if you can talk about degrees of knowing yourself since you grow and learn throughout life. But I have learned something new about my self, my limits and potential. … I feel again like I can recognize my reflection in mirror, so to speak. … I just forgot and needed to rediscover. And I did, but accompanied by an elevated self esteem, trusting own judgement and self acceptance, which is new to me.
