点评:I spent 5 days with Nils, his son Henry and their family, accompanying them during the reindeer migration. Together with me, there were 4 other tourists. Travelling together with a Sami family while they migrate their reindeers to the summer location is a truly unique experience. You really get to experience their way of life, living in a tent all together, no running water, no shower, eating a lot of reindeer, but still experiencing a bit of comfort of the modern world. We had a little stow in the tent, so it was not cold at all.
Nils is an incredible hosts. His English is excellent, he is very kind, hospitable and accommodating, always thinking what you might need and introducing us to all of the parts of his culture and Sami lifestyle. He never got tired of answering our millions of questions, and we did have a lot of questions. Very impressive was the joiking (traditional singing) he did for us and also his son joiked for us one morning.
Nils made us participate in their daily life, building, tents, repairing fences, feeding reindeer, which made me feel even more part of the family.
This trip was everything I wanted it to be and what I was expecting. I learned and experienced a lot about the Sami people, their life, their identity, their struggles and also learned a lot about reindeers. I really respect and admire the Sami for their way of live in harmony with these animals and nature. It is a hard life and very worthwhile looking into!
I can highly recommend this trip!

尼尔斯是一位了不起的主人。他的英语很棒,他非常友善、热情好客、乐于助人,总是考虑你可能需要什么,并向我们介绍他的文化和萨米生活方式的所有部分。他从不厌倦回答我们数以百万计的问题,我们确实有很多问题。非常令人印象深刻的是他为我们唱的 joiking(传统歌唱),还有他的儿子一天早上为我们唱的 joiking。
尼尔斯让我们参与他们的日常生活,搭帐篷、修栅栏、喂养驯鹿,这让我感觉自己更像是这个家庭的一份子。
这次旅行完全符合我的期望。我了解并体验了很多关于萨米人、他们的生活、他们的身份、他们的挣扎,也了解了很多关于驯鹿的知识。我真的很尊重和钦佩萨米人与这些动物和自然和谐相处的方式。这是一种艰苦的生活,非常值得一看!
我强烈推荐这次旅行!
