Confronted with advice that she should ‘get more office experience’ so she can find a proper job, Alexandra Fitzsimmons sets off on the trail of 10th Century Viking instead.

As she follows Erik across the North, Alexandra falls into fjords, delves into Nordic Sagas, eats puffin and explores ruined settlements. Join her on the search to discover whether a 25-year-old woman from London can become as free as a Viking who lived a thousand years before her.

The perfect read for ardent travelers, Scandi enthusiasts and confused graduates alike. Alexandra’s vivid prose will immerse readers in her adventures in cold places.
