Hi There, I Am Hege!

A Warm Welcome From The Lofoten Islands above the Arctic Circle!

And I want you to experience it, too.

I know Norway like the back of my hand, from the Arctic wonders of the north to the stunning fjords and vibrant cities of the south.

My mission is to help you discover the best of this breathtaking country—whether you crave summer’s golden glow, winter’s fierce beauty, or the magic of everything in between.

Trust me, I know Norway, and I want to share my country with you.

That is why I am on a mission to be your one-stop-shop for everything Norway travel (I have traveled a lot in the south, too, born and raised on a farm right outside the capital, Oslo) and help you have BIG, amazing journeys to spectacular Norwegian destinations!

Meet Your Guide: A Norwegian-Born Shieldmaiden Turned Global Explorer

In 2019, I booked a one-way ticket to South America. For six months, it was just me, my backpack, and the exhilarating feeling of infinite freedom.

It was epic. And life was never the same again.

This One Decision Changed My Life – And Now I Want To Change Yours!

After tasting the freedom of exploring the world on my own, there was “no way back”, you might say.

A year later, I left the service for good and dedicated myself to inspiring others to travel—especially solo. Long story short, lots of choices were made, and one year later, I left the service and booked a new one-way ticket.

This time, as a traveling freedompreneur on a mission to create the best possible travel content to share, inspire, and guide others to feel the same passion and desire to explore the world that I have found!

Now, I’m not “just” a travel blogger. I’m also a TEDx speaker, hold a Master’s degree in Political Science, am an ICF-certified coach (as you know, no one person fits into just one box in a lifetime), and a passionate storyteller on a mission to help others break out of their comfort zones and experience the world.

Wanna come? You are in the right place if you are fascinated by Scandinavia, the Arctic, spectacular nature experiences, and unforgettable wildlife encounters, to name just a few things that will enrich your life up here.

Why Norway? Because It’s Epic.

Despite my love for traveling solo to far-flung destinations, Norway remains my favorite place on Earth. (Yes, I may be biased, but trust me—it’s extraordinary.)

From the buzzing capital of Oslo—where you can swim in the inner harbor and hit the ski slopes within 30 minutes—to the jaw-dropping fjords of the west coast, this country is a paradise for adventure seekers.

Drive north, and you’ll cross the Arctic Circle, where rugged mountains give way to wild coastal landscapes and the midnight sun paints the sky in endless hues.

The weather and elements here can be harsh, but the people are warm in Harstad, Narvik, Bodø, Lofoten, Tromso, and all the way up to the North Cape, the northernmost point of the Norwegian mainland.

Not to mention Svalbard—where polar bears roam—are just some of the incredible places I want to help you explore.

This territory has pitch-dark winters, neverending light summers, and polar bears in the capital, Longyearbyen, when you least expect it!

I know Norway inside and out, and through this blog, I’m here to help you craft unforgettable journeys, whether you’re planning a once-in-a-lifetime visit or seeking an off-the-beaten-path Arctic adventure.

As I happened to have been so lucky to grow up in this magnificent little country on top of the world, it is time to share the awesomeness of this northern nation with you.

I will help you navigate everything you need to know before you plan and book your trip to Arctic Norway, so don’t worry.

So, welcome to Norway! Let’s make your dream trip a reality.
