Summary
Passionate outdoor enthusiast from Iceland that studied the Adventure Tour Guide at Thompson Rivers University from fall 2021 until spring 2023. I am passionate about learning & teaching new concepts. My all time favorite way to spend time is in nature with positive people. I aim to live in the moment & being professional. For the past fourteen months I have been working at an adventure lodge in the north of Iceland - in the troll peninsula - as a full time Adventure Guide during the summer and winter season and a full time Dispatcher in the heliski season.
