I've been working in the travel and hospitality industry almost my whole life. Born in Bodø, and growing up both in the north of Norway as well as living most of my life in the south, I have come to love all that Norway has to offer. i love to travel and discover new places, and new cultures.
How did you get involved in travel?
"I've always had an interest in traveling since I was a kid. I got into the hospitality industry at a young age and ended up going to a Swiss Hotel Management school to get my degree in hospitality/tourism. After that I've worked in hotels both in Norway as well as abroad. After getting my advanced diver certificate and private pilot license, I have found new ways to discover new places cultures, and people."
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"Me and my wife driving around Italy one summer. We had no plans for what or where we wanted to go, we just drove around, and when we didn't want to travel anymore, we found a campsite and spent 1-2 nights before driving to new places. Ended up with one of our most fun vacations."

Theresa, thank you for the kind words—and I’m thrilled the hotel location made everything easy between activities. I’m really sorry your room wasn’t pristine at early check-in.
If there’s anything I can do post-trip, I’m here. And when you’re back in Norway, I’d love to plan the encore. 🙌

We're especially glad everything ran smoothly and that the hotels and activities exceeded expectations!

Thank you, Rick, for the thoughtful and detailed review!
I'm so glad to hear that your family had a smooth and memorable experience exploring Norway — from the fjords to the four-course dinners. It was a pleasure helping with the early planning, and I’m thrilled to hear Fenne and Riccardo were able to step in and keep everything running like a well-oiled (Viking) longship.
Thank you as well for the honest hotel feedback — that’s exactly the kind of insight we use to refine our recommendations.
Wishing you many more adventures!
Warm regards,
