I’m Pauline, a Norwegian travel expert living in the Lofoten Islands, and I love sustainable adventures off the beaten path. I fell for solo travel early—I've explored Latin America’s sun-soaked coasts and Norway’s hidden fjords. I thrive on discovering new places, meeting fascinating people, and collecting lavish experiences and unique stories along the way. By day, I serve as Sustainable Development Coordinator for Destination Lofoten, working alongside an incredible team in Svolvær to transform our archipelago into one of Norway’s most sustainable travel destinations. Through my work and my journeys, I aim to show you how to travel independently, smart, adventurous, and safe, no matter where your compass points next.
