I am a person who hates stereotype, so one day I moved 400km above the polar circle. I fell in love with the Arctic wilderness, became a Northern Lights guide and photographer and it has been my 6th year living in Norway.
After I finished my degree in chemistry, I packed my backpack and started a half a year-long hitchhiking journey from Russia, Mongolia, and China to southeast Asia.
A few months later I went to Africa, around Rwanda by bicycle and then to South America - started in the southernmost city Ushuaia in the Land of Fire, spent 3 months in beautiful mountains of Patagonia and I continued hitchhiking to the north - Bolivia, Peru, and Colombia up to the Caribbean. After one year of being a happy unemployed homeless backpacker, I returned back to Northern Norway to continue my Master in Chemistry. And since I hate stereotype, I went towards a new adventure and moved to Svalbard for half a year for a research internship.
I love mountains all year round, hiking in summer, skiing in winter (or skiing for the whole year behind the polar circle:-) ). In the Caribbean, I discovered the beauty of the underwater world and became a passionate diver.
