Laura Galloway: ...that it's OK not to have a plan
Nobody Told Me!
The Darkness of Winter
In the arctic tundra, nature dictates everything that happens in the culture. You just don't have the ability to do a to push away your problems or stay on social media. The first year was my learning curve. Then i learned that you really need to get on a schedule. And that's what sort of saves you.
Laura Galloway hit the re-set button on her busy life and made the extraordinary move from New York City to a remote reindeer-herding village in the Arctic Tundra, one of the most unknowable cultures on earth. Her story is fascinating, and jaw-dropping at times, and she writes about it in the book, "DÁLVI: Six Years in the Arctic Tundra". Her website is authorlauragalloway.com.
