Leif Eriksson sailed back to Norway, where his family was living at the time. Then he met the King (King Olaf the first) and he wanted Leif to go back to Greenland to teach Christianity to the people. So as he was sailing to Greenland, his ship got blown off course and ended up in North America. He was the first European to set foot on this ground but he wasn't the first to see it. An Icelandic sailor named Bjarni Herjulfsson had seen it first but didn't explore the land.
Leif Erikson was born around 970 AD, and he is believed to have met King Olaf I of Norway around 1000 AD. This would make Leif approximately 30 years old at the time of their meeting. Leif's encounter with King Olaf is often associated with his conversion to Christianity and his later influence in promoting the faith among the Norse.
