I discovered my love for Norway during several vacations so that I've been addicted to the country.
One of the questions that I hear the most from my guests is: "So? What brought you to Norway? The love?" Read more That's rather easy to answer: yes, the love but the love for the country. Back in Germany studied ethnology and culture history and for my masters I had a primary focus in folk tales and fairy tales. And emigrating to Norway has always been a childhood wish anyway. So it was just a matter of time until I ended up here - and the job as a guide gives me the opportunity to get to all those beautiful places of western Norway and to show them to the people that come with me - and also I can tell them one or two troll fairy tales. The most beautiful moments and tours for me are those where I go with a group into the deep wilderness of mountains and forests for a hike, away from the rather common tourist attraction. I love to show them what nature has in store.
I can define Norway with one word: wild. The beautiful fjords, the mighty mountains, the wild animals that live near the houses of men, make Norway a unique and special place. Read more The work as a Tour Guide allows me to show people the natural beauty of Norway and to tell them about the traditions, history, customs and many curiosities about Norway and the Norwegians.
I'm a literary translator who ended up in Norway by chance in 2019 and immediately discovered my love for Trondheim and for the Norwegian lifestyle in general Read more Since then, I'm involved in tourism and I have been a part of Møre & Trøndelag Guideservice team since 2022. Together with Arne Sagmo I'm responsible for the Management in Trondheim with cruise ships, private groups and the coordination of the guides. In my free time I enjoy reading and travelling.

… I have a lot to tell you, sit down with me and a piece of cream cake! Read more The secret lies behind the mountains of Norway and that is exciting: "The deepest ..", "the purest ..", "the clearest .." … did you know that the water temperature 120km off the coast of Norway is -1,5c with a depth of 1000m? You'll find this out and even more, even my shoe size. The whole family have been associated with Norway for 25 years. I guide in German.
The Gigantic expanse, …quietness and nature - combined with a special story, these are my feelings about Norway. Read more A country that is unquestioningly number 1 in terms of quality of life, at least the Norwegians themselves claim. I invite you to a discovery trip and hopefully I can inspire you to feel the same about Norway. I guide in German.
