How did you get involved in travel?

""I have been involved with nature since a young age. Growing partly up on a sheep farm with my grandfather, I was able to experience the Icelandic wilderness at it's best learning important skills of how to go in nature. When I became more independent, I started doing my own small expeditions, hiking, camping and exploring the remote areas of Iceland.

Iceland hasn´t always been very known travel destinations, a lot to do with the small nation population and people just not knowing of it so tourism wasn´t the first on my list of things to do when I was younger. I didn't realize you actually could make it your main work and live off it.

There was a moment in my life where I got involved with tourism and started to study it. I really liked the life philosophy and the message it sent out. It felt really in line with what I wanted to do and I learned that you can actually play through life, showing people a unique nature and make a living of it. I came back home with very direct goals of making my lifestyle my "work".

Midgard adventure was founded in 2010. For me, it was a formula that should work in tourism and selling experience. If we invite you to join our fun, playful world with the nature we have, it should be reflecting in a great overall travel experience.

In 2017 I finally started to work towards an idea that I have had for few years. Setting up another tour operation in Slovenia. I´ve been very much attracted to Slovenia for few years and it´s one of my favorite place in Europe. It´s a place where culture, mountains, people, and history comes together and creates a very interesting vibe. It is very small, so it makes all experiences very approachable and compact. "

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

""I think my 36-day expedition to Patagonia has to be one there on the list. This is where I really got in touch with nature. I spend 36 days in the wilderness of Andes. We spent days climbing, traversing a glacier, camping out and learning again on the simplicity of life. After a successful expedition, I was really sure about our philosophy at Midgard adventure and that travel can actually change a life.""
