Gone Viking with Bill Arnott - the three-part Viking Travel Sagas!

Bill Arnott guides readers on this bestselling literary odyssey, following history’s most feared and misunderstood voyageurs - the Vikings! To “go viking” is to embark on an epic journey. For eight years Bill Arnott journeyed throughout the northern hemisphere, discovering sites Scandinavian explorers raided, traded, and settled – finding Viking history in a wider swath of the planet than most anthropologists and historians ever imagined. With a small pack and weatherproof journal, Bill explores and writes with a journalist’s eye, songwriter’s prose, poet’s perspective, and a comedian’s take on everything else. Prepare yourself for an armchair adventure like no other! From Europe to Asia, the Mediterranean to the British Isles, Scandinavia to Iceland, Greenland, and the New World, with excursions around Thor Heyerdahl’s Pacific, Roald Amundsen’s Arctic and Olaf Crowbone’s stormy North Atlantic, Bill takes readers on a mythic personal adventure in real time – a present-day Viking quest. — BUY THE BOOKS HERE — Gone Viking Travel Saga (3 books) published by Rocky Mountain Books by Bill Arnott Gone Viking A Travel Saga https://rmbooks.com/book/gone-viking/ Gone Viking II Beyond Boundaries https://rmbooks.com/book/gone-viking-ii/ Gone Viking III The Holy Grail https://rmbooks.com/book/gone-viking-iii/ — EXTRAS — Other publications by Bill Arnott: A Season on Vancouver Island https://rmbooks.com/book/a-season-on-vancouver-island/ Hear more from Bill about his travels with Viking TV https://viking.tv/my-viking/bill-arnott — CHAPTERS — 00:00 Intro 01:09 About the Three Gone Viking Books 04:10 How Did the Collaboration With Experts Come About? 07:47 How Did You Decide to Write Your Books? 09:23 How Can You Write and Travel So Much? 10:09 Does Your Point of View Change From Book to Book? 12:20 What's So Fascinating About Iceland? 16:00 Any Places That Weren't as Interesting as Expected? 17:44 About Your Interest and Travels to Australia 19:40 Any Plans for a Fourth Viking Travel Saga? 20:28 Are the Books Sequential? 21:20 Outro — WANT TO KNOW MORE? — Vikings https://www.worldhistory.org/Vikings/ Viking Warfare https://www.worldhistory.org/Viking_Warfare/ Viking Ships https://www.worldhistory.org/Viking_Ships/ Viking Art https://www.worldhistory.org/Viking_Art/ Women in the Viking Age https://www.worldhistory.org/article/1251/women-in-the-viking-age/ — WATCH NEXT — The Wars of the Roses: Causes and Consequences https://youtu.be/JB5VqD4A6R8 The Life and Death of Mary Queen of Scots https://youtu.be/x0MrMEDiKOU Proofreading History - Joanne Taylor https://youtu.be/QMz4NzHdHGY Ancient History of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) https://youtu.be/z_vdKlVKZoY — BUY OUR MERCH — https://www.worldhistory.store​/​ — SUPPORT US VIA OUR PATREON— https://www.patreon.com/join/whencyclopedia — ATTRIBUTIONS — The music used in this recording is the intellectual copyright of Michael Levy, a prolific composer for the recreated lyres of antiquity, and used with the creator's permission.
