Every traveler to Scandinavia has a great story. One animates his 007-style role as top huskie sledder in the wild, clean air of Swedish Lapland. Another reveals Scandinavian secrets shared by one of Denmark's Michelin-starred chefs.

An active family covets its inspirational Icelandic encounters with Midnight sun, waterfalls, galciers and volcanoes. A shopping diva texts pals: the best bets in Finnish design.

The criteria, awed by the new Oslo Opera House, shares his Norway moment with a friend. And, a small child proclaims her wonder at meeting Santa Claus and his elves.

Each Scandinavian tale is unique. What will yours be?
