About the Book
Just like those Nordic seafarers, I took to the sea, fjords and ventured overland to explore completely new territory; I also ventured into the realm of experiencing fabulous cuisines, such as the famous smorgasbord.
Unlike those intrepid adventurers, however, I was obliged to fund my journey (at quite a considerable cost), as opposed to seizing my bounty violently through piracy.
My grateful thanks go to all my most knowledgeable tour guides who, together with Wikipedia online encyclopaedia, provided invaluable assistance during my research.

About the Creator
I was born in the Eastern Cape, South Africa. My family moved to Cape Town where I completed my schooling. I later obtained a Bachelor's degree at Rhodes University in Grahamstown, with majors in Industrial Psychology and Linguistics. Other than a 5-year transfer to Johannesburg fairly early in my career, I have lived most of my life at the tip of the African continent, undoubtedly one of the most beautiful locations globally. In fact, when rounding the Cape during the latter part of the 16th Century, the intrepid explorer Sir Francis Drake named it the "fairest Cape in all the world". I retired from formal employment in September 2011, after a 36-year career with a national retail chain, where I specialised in management and leadership development. My passion for international travel, as well as my love of computing and digital photography, encourage me to record and document my experiences. I sincerely hope that my work will inspire others in a similar vein.
