“Through our ‘MOREtime’ project, we aim to celebrate and promote this unique way of life, providing individuals with the opportunity to spend more quality time participating in activities such as fishing, hunting, learning new languages or simply being with their loved ones,” Vadsø said in a letter.
“What’s the good thing about living here?” This is the time,” she told POLITICO.
“We’re not chasing buses or chasing trains and we don’t have to take a long time to get to work and so on. “, she added. “We are very happy to live in a part of Norway where we have more time to be with our friends, with our family and together. »
By extending the length of the days, Pedersen hopes more people will be enticed to move to the remote region. Ensuring the region is populated is “more important than ever” in light of Russia’s war against Ukraine, Pedersen added.
“We love our lifestyle and we think this could be very exciting, especially for families with young children,” the mayor said. “I think it’s a calmer and better everyday life than, for example, in a big city.”
Could this really happen?
