Hi, I'm Emma

Originally from Australia, I moved to Norway in 2016 and settled in Bergen. I have been working in tourism ever since moving here, and have worked all across the Nordic region – from Norway to Finland, Copenhagen to Svalbard, Shetland to Tallinn! Through The Hidden North, I share practical advice, detailed guides, and personalised trip planning to help you experience the real Norway – beyond the tourist trail.
