Hilsen fra Daniele, ""Greetings from Daniele"" is a vivid, heartfelt travelogue that captures the wonder of rediscovery-of Norway, of long-lost friends, and of oneself.

Written in a warm, personal voice, Hilsen fra Daniele is more than a collection of travel notes; it's a deeply human narrative that blends memoir, cultural exploration, and personal reflection. Sparked by a challenge to complete a first draft during National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), this debut work traces a solo journey of nearly 3,000 miles across the breathtaking landscapes of Norway-from the stillness of Lake Reinunga and the Flåm Valley, to the sweeping majesty of the Lofoten islands, the remote beauty of Senja Island, and the peaceful serenity of Namsskogan.

At its heart, this is a story of reconnection with four Norwegian friends the author hadn't seen in over twenty years, with the powerful and unpredictable beauty of nature, and with a creative spark that had long gone dim. What begins as a trip fueled by nostalgia and curiosity, transforms into an emotionally rich adventure full of unexpected moments, missteps, and moments of awe. Traveling solo for the first time in decades, the author turns his car into a moving home-a space for reflection, rest, and resilience- as he faces not only winding roads but also the internal terrain of doubt, joy, and renewal.

Blending vivid descriptions, thoughtful insights, and relatable humor, this book offers readers a front seat to the emotional rollercoaster of highs and lows of stepping away from routine and diving into the unknown. Hilsen fra Daniele it's for anyone who has ever longed to return to a place that shaped them-or to find out what happens when you follow that longing.
