Hello, I'm Connor Whiteley, I am an 18-year-old who loves to write creatively, and I wrote my Brownsea trilogy when I was 14 years old after I went to Brownsea Island on a scout camp. At the camp, I started to think about how all the broken tiles and pottery got there and somehow a trilogy got created.Moreover, I love writing fantasy and sci-fi novels because you’re only limited by your imagination.In addition, I'm was an Explorer Scout and I love camping, sailing and other outdoor activities as well as cooking.Furthermore, I do quite a bit of charity work as well. For example: in early 2018 I was a part of a youth panel which was involved in creating a report with research to try and get government funding for organised youth groups and through this panel. I was invited to Prince Charles’ 70th birthday party and how some of us got in the royal photograph.Finally, I am going to university and I hope to get my doctorate in clinical psychology in a few years.

THE CRUISE

I, Jordan Russell, was very quickly starting to realise a rather horrible fact about being stuck on a cruise in the biting cold rivers of Norway. My problem was that I really didn’t believe there would be enough mead in the entire world to possibly make this cruise very enjoyable for me.

You see the problem with being a PhD and technically doctor of history specialising in the Vikings was very simple, you were always the person your family turned to whenever they wanted to know something.

Or in my case, wanted to drag on a cruise with a Viking theme.

I suppose as I sat on a very comfortable golden metal chair with a large round dinner table in front of me with a white silk tablecloth, that it could have been worse. This could have been some kind of touristic event filled with historically inaccurate depictures of Vikings like the horns on their helmets. Something that still irritates me even now.

But thankfully this was a grown-up historical cruise that my grandma had invited me and the rest of her senior friends on, for free I should probably mention. And my philosophy is don’t turn down freebies.

Normally that philosophy supplies to hot men only, but I did need a holiday.

The entire dining chamber on the cruise ship was immensely big, able to fit almost a hundred people inside
