“I live in Oslo, but I never left my roots in the fjords. My family and I traveled several times a year to the Geiranger Fjord area for summer boating and hiking in the spectacular Sunnmöre alps. I have always loved showing my friends and business partners this spectacular area. I am delighted to now also be able to share my passion for my country with overseas visitors in a professional capacity.”
