A different way of exploring places, meeting people, and sharing stories on Instagram, where travel becomes more than a destination and every image offers a reason to look a little closer. - Author: AFAR Staff - Tags: Letters from Afar, Journeys with Afar, Norway With **Journeys with AFAR**, we're experimenting with a slightly different way of using [**Instagram**](https://instagram.com/afartextiles?ref=abagofstories.com). Not simply as a stream of beautiful images or a showcase for our products, but as a place to tell small stories through photography and words. Short visual narratives, meant to be explored at your own pace. Stories that can stand on their own or open the door to the longer, more immersive features published in [***A Bag of Stories***](https://abagofstories.com/). --- ### Our latest three take us to Norway: into the forests and living memories of Finnskogen, the quiet intimacy of Norwegian *hytte* life, and the waterways and coastal landscapes of the country's south. Three stories: three different ways of looking at a place. And an invitation to travel with us, even if only for a few minutes. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/6d/20/6d207f2a-6719-4291-87ae-b3b4a25be7f5/content/images/2026/10/IG-Carousel-003-Norway-01.jpg) #### One Day in Norway A day spent between woods, water, old boats, work and the quiet of home...

From the forests of Finnskogen to Norway's southern coast, it carried what we needed along the way.
