Welcome to Sky Talkers. Here are your hosts, Charlotte and Caitlin. Hello and welcome to Sky Talkers. Here are your host, Charlotte and Caitlin.

0:22.1

Hello and welcome to Sky Talkers. I'm your host Charlotte.

0:25.1

Hey, everyone. I'm your other host, Caitlin, and welcome to this week's episode where we are talking all about our adventures in Hoff.

0:32.7

That's right. We went to Hoff in real life, aka Finza Norway. We got back about two weeks ago, and we have been so

0:41.3

excited to talk about this trip. If you've been following the podcast, we, this episode was going to

1:43.1

flights, which we did not, it would have been

1:44.7

the same length to California from us on the East Coast. But anyway, amazing trip. It was freezing

1:50.8

going to break it all down, talk all about it, because I think you all had a lot of questions

2:01.5

and I think there's a lot to say. So let's get into it. We are going to, similar to our Tunisia
