    Nice video! The airports mentioned at 2:50 is not quite correct, though. Bodø and Evenes are the "large" airports where SAS, Norwegian and some other airlines fly to, and Svolvær and Leknes are the small(er) airports where only Wideøe fly with their 39-seat propeller planes.

Going back to Cambodia for a month. Visiting friends, and fish farms, around the country. And a week of remote work. Safe travels Kristin. 😊

    Hey Kristin. I'm a subscriber and watched many of your videos. I was wondering if you have a home base somewhere, and if you might do a video on having a home base and traveling back and forth... maybe... not sure if it's a good idea or not. Just curious about how you manage all this travel.

    I like traveling but to a point. For me it would get old in short time. Even now sometimes I'm away from home two or three days at a time and I just can't wait to get back home. I can't imagine being on the go 24/7 but I guess you have to be "built" for it!
