About me! Hey there, Explorers! I'm Kiarash✌️ When I first set foot in the north, I immediately fell in love with the captivating Aurora polar lights and the untouched beauty of Norway's winter landscapes. I became addicted, and now I plan to visit every year. 😁 I'm a Super energetic travel addict with a passion for exploring the planet Earth! A lifelong Snowboarder and for some years professional Sailor. I have lived in 6 countries and journeyed through more than 45. I have been working in Adventure tourism industry for the past 3-4 years.

Details about the accommodation: For this trip, comfortable and authentic stays are chosen from my handpicked Airbnb selections. With 3-4 different options in various cities and one on a secluded island in the north, you'll enjoy a diverse range of experiences. All options are well-equipped private apartments or cozy cabins, offering the flexibility to relax, cook our meals, and unwind in our own space. Benefit from personalized recommendations and local insights from friendly hosts, ensuring an immersive and unique experience. Based on experience, the warmth of Airbnb accommodations will be adding an extra layer of authenticity to your Arctic adventure. The rooms are mostly shared for 2 and just a few, for 3 people but the accommodations are all spacious enough to guarantee comfort. If you prefer a private room, feel free to contact me and we will find a solution. ⚠️ Important Notice: Please note that the availability and order of activities during this trip are subject to change based on the prevailing Nordic weather conditions. However, rest assured that everything is carefully planned based on expert experience and technical analysis of moon phases and other factors for the best time for aurora hunting. I always prioritize safety and aim to provide you with the most memorable Arctic adventure possible. If you have any special wishes or questions, feel free to write me. 😉 So, let's escape the monotony! Pack your bags and join me on this unforgettable 10-day journey. Get ready for an adventure like no other! See you in Tromso!
