River guides ๐
Scientists are still studying them. Here's what we know so far:
๐๐ป In the morning, they professionally explain how to survive/enjoy Class 4 rapids. In the afternoon, they're singing ABBA on the raft. Nobody understands how this works โ but it does.
๐๐ป They know every rock, every current, every wave on the river. Ask them about their hobbies though โ and suddenly you discover your guide is a competitive skier, an amateur guitarist AND holds the local record for eating tacos. All at once.
๐๐ป These are the people who look you dead in the eye before a run and say "don't worry, it'll be fine" โ then scream "PADDLE! PADDLE! PADDLE!" at you with the biggest grin you've ever seen.
๐๐ปAnd you know what? They're right every single time.
If there's one thing you'll take home from your trip to Sjoa โ it's probably a story your guide told you ๐ฅ
Guides are the heart of all the madness. Thanks for being exactly who you are ๐
