Join me on this exciting trip to the top of the world! Svalbard 🌲 awaits in all its glory and wilderness. Ever dreamt of riding a sled pulled by dogs? You are lucky! That is one of the most effective ways to get around in Svalbard during the winter! This trip is designed to let you experience the local life, but also take you on an adventure of a lifetime. Kayaking next to a glacier 🏔️, exploring a post-Soviet ghost town 🏘️, caves and mountain hikes, this trip will test your limits and forge a bond with nature in its wildest form. Are you ready? Since Svalbard is a place with incredible history of exploration, the nature of the trip is purely adventurous. We will have to carefully observe the weather to select which activities to do when to get the most out of our time there! That unpredictability creates a lot of opportunity for improvisation, so I will make sure TripMates have a say in what we do each day to create an incredible experience for the whole group. Obviously, as this is a Co-working trip, we will have to align our schedules to participate in activities.
My name is Damian and I present to you one of my biggest dream trips. The trip to Svalbard has been on my mind for years now, and now I am finally making it happen. I have always wanted to experience the real North, and this is arguably the best place to do so. I want to get out of my comfort zone, and I encourage you to do the same if you join me!

Trip Itinerary
1
Longyearbyen
Day 1-6
After catching a flight to Svalbard, we will meet at the airport or in the town centre and take the first day easy as we get used to the climate and get to know each other. In the evening we will be out on our first challenge, tasting the local cuisine such as the ''rype'', a local bird dish, reindeer meat and local beer! Being far from civilization, we will begin to "hunt" for northern lights, which are one of the most incredible natural phenomena in the world.
2
Pyramiden
Day 6
After our relaxed evening in Longyearbyen, we will have to wake up early for an 8:30am pickup for our first challenge. We will be taking a day-trip on a boat which will drop us off at the Ghost Town of Pyramiden, where we will stay for some time to explore. The area offers stunning scenery, the opportunity to go (literally!) back in time while exploring the forgotten town of Pyramiden.
3
Longyearbyen
Day 6-8
As we return to civilization in the evening, we take it easy and have a relaxing evening meal. The next days on our trip will be spent in and around Longyearbyen, taking day trips and guided tours! There are a lot of options to choose from. The trips I have prepared include: Fjord Safari to a Glacier Sarkofagen hike with a guide Trollsteinen hike with a guide Dogs on wheels (dogsledding) experience tour Hike to Global Seed Vault with a guide Coal Mine visit with a guide Hybrid Boat fjords tour with wildlife watching with a guide All of these trips are included in the trip price, so we will just have to discuss within our group which tour to go on and what day. Svalbard offers something for everyone, so it is almost certain we will have the time of our lives hiking the glaciers and searching for wild reindeers!
