Return to Pō

You have come here to explore who you are and what you are here for. Your purpose as an individual and as a member of society is intertwined with your desire to reflect on the past but also move forward in life.




This is how you have found yourself before Return to PÅ, a coming-of-age travel memoir combining mythology, environmental conservation, and self-improvement, written by your guide along this journey-Jon-Erik Jardine.




This book is not for the faint of heart. It is for those who are ready to face the unknown, question their upbringing and beliefs, and search their souls for areas of improvement. It is for those who have found themselves running from and embracing death, connecting to nature and disconnecting from society. It is for those who seek truth within them-but also know the value of listening to the world around them.




If you are introspective, intrigued by the mysteries of life, and desire a stronger connection to nature, this book is for you. Perhaps you have been called to read it. Will you answer the call?
