Welcome traveler!
Originally from the charming south of Iceland, I moved to Copenhagen for its charm and culture. Having explored every corner of Iceland, I bring my clients an intimate knowledge of its landscapes and culture. In Denmark, my expertise is centered around the captivating city of Copenhagen, as well as the smaller cities of the country.
So if you‘re interested in exploring the beautiful nature of Iceland with its waterfalls and geysers, or the vibrant city of Copenhagen with its restaurants, bars, and history, I‘m your guide!
Let me tailor your Nordic adventure, drawing on my firsthand knowledge and personalized approach to create a journey that exceeds expectations.
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"My favorite trips involve some city exploration as well as some outdoor activities. Focusing on experiencing the culture as a local, as much as possible. Finding hidden gems whether that is a hidden cave in the south of Iceland or the best "bodega" in Nørrebro. "
How did you get involved in travel?
"Growing up in Iceland, traveling and outdoor activities are in my DNA. Camping in Þórsmörk, riding horses and fishing in the countless lakes of Iceland.
As a teenager, I worked on a farm that also hosted a bed and breakfast. Chatting with travelers, over oatmeal, on their own adventure lit the spark in me to get on my way and see the world. "
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"Over Christmas 2023 I visited Aarhus and stayed with Danish family friends, immersing in the Danish Christmas traditions. Trying festive smørrebrød, seeing the changing of the guards (where the Danish royal family spent the holiday), and visiting the old town of Aarhus. This made my first Christmas away from home incredibly memorable and hygge. "
