I love to travel, explore new places, and meet new people and cultures! Outdoor activities are my favorite things to do, especially hiking! And Norway is the perfect place for doing it! With wonderful landscapes full of striking lakes, mountains, glaciers, and fjords.
For me travel is about making memories all over the world, every destination you’ll visit leaves its own unique memory. Let me help you to make your own unique memories in stunning Norway and surroundings!
How did you get involved in travel?
"Since I was a child, traveling has being part of my life. From family vacations that became amazing memories, to travel adventures with friends. In 2010, when I was 14yo I started traveling with my older brother, our first travel alone was to Canada, where I realized that no matter how much you know, there’s always more to learn! So after that, I fell in love with traveling and how much you can learn on each travel. But was in 2015, when I was in Bachelor and living in Basel, Switzerland, that I started to create my own way to travel, from deciding where to go, how long, where to stay, how to arrive, what to see to where to eat. At that time I was able to visit not only the highlights of the main cities in Europe such as Amsterdam, Berlin, Paris, Madrid... but also to discover the beauty of small (and sometimes not well known) places and the warmth of locals with whom you can really "live" the place.
Since then, my own life has changed and I have shaped it around traveling, I would love to make you have the same life-changing experiences and unique memories. "
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"Some said that “of all the books in the world, the best stories are found between the pages of a passport” and I can say that is totally true!
Back in 2019, I traveled to Peru with some friends, the plan was only to spend some days in Peru, at the end we left some "free days" to explore the capital city, Lima where our flight was coming back home. But while we were there after all the wonderful places that we visited, we just wondered ... "What if we go to Bolivia?" and since we were so close we just did it. On the way there we found out that we were at the perfect time to visit Uyuni Salt Flat, so that was our goal, and we made it. We create an express tour starting at La Paz - Uyuni - Titicaca Lake. It was an amazing and unique experience. "
