Although O-Ringen isn't a world championship per se, it's been won by many elite orienteers - typically someone with a last name that sounds Swedish, Finnish or Norwegian. But some new countries have recently made it into the sport's top echelon. The best male orienteer in the world today is a Frenchman named Thierry Gueorgiou. The best female is Simone N'iggli-Luder of Switzerland. To reach that level, they've trained in Finland and Sweden, respectively. There's a lot to take in at O-Ringen, but the main attraction is, of course, the orienteering itself. As a first-timer, I was nervous on Day 1. Swedish terrain is very different from Texas terrain.

Just in case you're not picking up your new car during a Jukkasjärvi-Kebnekajse adventure or happen to be related to a reindeer herder, here's an experience off the beaten track, in Finland. On my first night I'm in a glass igloo, which is unique to Kakslauttanen. Jussi realized guests in the ice igloos were torn between staying (relatively) warm inside and watching for the Northern Lights outside. His high-tech solution was to construct igloos of heate...

Anteeksi, which means "excuse me" or "I'm sorry" in Finnish, consists of architects, furniture, industry, landscape and graphic designers. Helsinki, according to the youthful Anteeksi group, has become a hub for artists and designers, akin to Paris at the turn of the century. If you go to Helsinki, you'd want to catch the trains numbers 1 or 3; "go in perfect speed surrounded by a cool interior through Helsinki city.
