Europe Trip Leader
Mats was born and raised in Oslo, Norway, and has a passion for the outdoors, having explored the mountains since he was a young child. He holds a degree in guiding nature-based trips and a B.S. in civil engineering, which has helped him develop a unique perspective on the natural world. He enjoys sharing his love of nature with others and is always eager to learn from his guests. "I feel incredibly lucky to have grown up in Norway, surrounded by such beautiful mountains and natural landscapes. Whether I'm guiding a group on a hike or working on a construction project, I always strive to approach things with a sense of curiosity and appreciation for the natural world." When not guiding, Mats can be found skiing, hiking, or working on his next construction project.
Our Team"The kindest of men! Mats was a steady, wonderful presence. Great to have a Norwegian who obviously loved the country and treks. "

"How is it possible that Mats can smile so much? Is it something in the Norwegian water? We don’t know. In any case, Mats did a great job interacting with us and relaying information about Norway, the people, and the culture. We really enjoyed traveling with him."
