Maiken Severinsen Sunde
Hello! I'm from the country side of Trondheim, Norway, and is currently completing my final year of a Bachelor's degree in Tourism Management and Experience Development.
My approach to travel is centered on creating meaningful and memorable experiences, focusing on connecting with people, culture, and last but not least, nature. I believe that travel has the power to inspire personal growth and build lasting connections.
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"I am currently exploring different areas within the tourism industry as I am completing my Bachelor's degree in Tourism Management and Experience Development.
While I don't specialize in specific places or activities yet, I have a strong interest in creating experiences that promote personal growth and well-being. My focus is on designing meaningful travel experiences that connect people with nature and culture."
How did you get involved in travel?
"I´ve been traveling with my parents since I was very young. This gave me a big interest in traveling, and that's probably why I ended up moving to Oslo to study Travel Management and Experience Development! Studying has allowed me to deepen this passion by learning how to design experiences that create value for travelers and destinations alike."
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"One travel experience I will never forget is my first backpacking trip. I went island-hopping in Indonesia, and got to explore the stunning islands. I was amazed by the crystal-clear waters, city life, and vibrant local culture. Meeting fellow travelers and locals along the way made it even more memorable, and I gained a deeper appreciation for the beauty and diversity of our world."
