I had the good fortune to sit beside Josephine Stenersen during the flight to Oslo.
Josephine has lived in Tromso since 1973. She's English (from Worcestershire) and downplays the fact she speaks Norwegian fluently, as well as Danish and a petit peu of french.
Her husband is Norwegian. Her two sons and their teenaged children also live in Tromso. The family has a summer home in Denmark, where they escape to every spring. European snowbirds.
Josephine is a teacher and a writer who has worked closely with the Sami of Norway.
Our conversation caught the attention of a member of the cabin crew.
Josephine, thank you for a lovely chat. I plan to post more of our interview when I'm back in Yellowknife. In the meantime, please get started on your autobiography! I look forward to reading it.
