Plan your trip with me!
Hi, I’m Emma – an Australian who’s called Norway home for over a decade. As a full-time tour guide and travel leader, I’ve taken groups to every corner of this breathtaking region. For the past three years, I’ve also worked as a travel planner, crafting unforgettable journeys, and I run a walking tour company right here in Bergen. I’ve explored this part of the world extensively, both for work and pleasure, and The Hidden North is where I share my insider knowledge, stories, and tips to help you experience it like a local.
