ABSTRACT

Changes over the lifetime Johan and Lena come from one of the northernmost countries in Europe and they have lived and worked there all their lives. They met a few years ago and have spent much time travelling together since then. Both are now retired and have been married before. Johan and Lena have separate households and visit each other and spend a lot of time together. Johan remembers many things from his life and tells me about his experiences in an enthusiastic way. Lena’s focus is mainly on the experiences from the journey to North Cape, which she had dreamt about visiting for a long time. When they first met, Johan had recently arrived from a motor bike trip to the North Cape and he talked about all the wonderful things he had seen all the time. As Lena had always wanted to go to the North Cape, she was fascinated by what Johan told her, and his story-telling made them decide to travel to the north together.
