Hello there:-)

I’m Esben, a Dane with a background in teaching, entrepreneurship, tourism and management. 

I have from an early age been passionate about adventurous activities and the great outdoors and have always been fascinated by the early explorers navigating their way through uncharted territories, wondering what they would find behind the next hill.

After living in Denmark, Zimbabwe, and Brazil, I was fortunate enough to get the opportunity to work with arctic winter tourism – dogsledding, king crab safari, and snowmobile guiding – in Northern Norway, and I immediately felt a strong connection with both the area and the guiding role. 

With the arctic winter right at my doorstep, it was also natural for me to transition into arctic ski expedition traveling. Thus, I have over the past years systematically obtained a formal training background, supplying this with a Wilderness First Responder course, and solid personal experience in planning, preparing, and executing arctic ski expeditions. 

I enjoy ‘transporting’ myself instead of being transported, and I am drawn to simple living and environments where basic things that we normally take for granted – food, water, warmth, etc. – are scarce. It teaches me to stay humble and respectful to nature and people, and to appreciate life, and this is part of what I hope to convey to our guests.
