Episode notes

Have you ever wondered what makes a curated travel experience worthwhile?

This week I am joined by Torunn Tronsvang, the founder of Up Norway, to discuss how to have an authentic adventure and unforgettable experience in Norway.

After working and living in Bhutan, Dubai, Switzerland, Thailand, and the Maldives for many years, Torunn came back to her home country with a mission to make Norway the world’s most attractive destination. In 2016 she set out to create Up Norway with the vision of providing thoughtful off-the-beaten-path experiences for anyone.

If you have ever been curious about Norwegian culture then you will not want to miss this episode. Torunn breaks down popular Norwegian concepts, shares a few unique destinations you’ve probably never heard of, reveals the key elements that make a curated travel experience worthwhile, shares her perspective on the art of doing nothing, and so much more.

Which Norwegian destination catches your eye the most? I'd love to hear what they are and hope you will share them by sending me an audio message.
