Hi, I’m Katie! I’ve worked in the travel industry for more than five years, gaining experience across hotels, resorts, and, for the past two years, with Ethical Travel Portal. Travel has always been a huge passion of mine, which is what inspired me to leave London in 2018 and experience life somewhere completely different.

After spending a year and a half living in Sweden, I relocated to Norway with my partner, and I’ve loved building a life here in the north. I’m now based in Sørreisa, just across the bridge from the beautiful island of Senja.

What I love most about Norway is the incredible nature — no matter what kind of day you’re having, stepping outside to enjoy the scenery and fresh air instantly makes everything feel better.
