Anna Grindevoll Strønstad
I love adventuring, whether that be hiking in the forest with my dog or traveling to a new country. This passion led me to get a bachelor's degree in tourism management, and now I am lucky enough to use my knowledge and experience to custom-make trips to the scenic destination of Norway.
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"I specialize in travels to Norway, with my main area being the west coast.
Love finding authentic places and adventures with the "wow" factor leading to memories for life.
"
How did you get involved in travel?
"All through my childhood we traveled to different countries. This opened my eyes to the beauty of the world and led to my passion for discovering and exploring new places, both in Norway and around the world. "
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"A few years ago, I was on a group trip to Thailand. During the 14 days I was there we spent a few nights in the jungle. We got to hike through the untouched nature and paddle on bamboo. The nature was breathtaking! An experience I will forever cherish."

The knowledge, helpfulness, responsiveness and flexibility the team showed was extraordinary. We had to reschedule and redesign our trip a year late. At the last minute we made changes due to a sick member of our group. They took it all in stride. Highly recommend.
Hi Valerie!
Thank you for taking the time to write a review :)
It was our pleasure helping you with your trip to Norway! Traveling can be stressful enough in itself without unforeseen things happening - we are happy we could accommodate the changes that came along the way. Hope you are all doing well!
Best wishes,
Anna
