Kerttu

Natural guide, sea kayaking leader, vagabond, environmentalist, PADI scuba diver, whale-maniac.

Kerttu has a special place in her heart for nature and animals. From early childhood, her best friends were always non-humans, with who she shared both joy and tears. As the time goes on, the passion towards natural world grows even greater and now in adulthood, she realises the power, what an individual can withhold. While traveling almost half of our planet(above and below the watery sheet,) she has participated in numerous animal conservation programs and lived through some hilarious moments chasing her dreams. If there would be one single thing, she studied, it would be, we as humans have pushed a nature to extremes and instead of taking a toll on it even further, we should live mutually with nature, without creating further harm. As much as it is possible.

Kerttu (her name easiest to remember is “Care To”) as my better side mainly answering your letters, making sure everything is in order, will occasionally take care of you on our day tours. Once you meet her, you’ll notice straight away, she is loving her job and has a specific skilful touch to it. By knowing the local area with as a back of the palm, you are guaranteed with best pristine locations there is.

Stijn

Addicted to travel and adventure. PADI Rescue Diver, underwater fanatic and nature lover.

Ever since Stijn was a kid, his parents had a hard time keeping him indoors. “A street rat” is what they would call him. In the good sense of that expression, meaning “independent and feeling at home anywhere in any given city”.

Twenty-something years later and instead of exploring the streets and woods of his hometown, Stijn is now bouncing around the world full-time.

Compelled to share his travel stories, adventurous experiences, and to document people and places, he discovered a love for photography. Drawn to the north by the mysterious northern lights, Tromsø became his arctic aurora base for the winter season.
