Welcome to WanderNorway

Exploring the Great North with Mathia 

 

This page has the humble aim of letting you discover Norway through the eyes of a traveler who has decided to settle here, fascinated by the landscapes and culture of these distant lands, through articles, photos, and curiosities that caught his attention. From the ethereal dance of the Northern Lights to the warm embrace of the Midnight Sun, let venture forth together into the heart of this extraordinary land. Originally from Italy, I found my heart captured by this stunning country back in 2018. Since then, I've immersed myself in the vibrant Norwegian life, living and working amidst the breathtaking fjords and majestic mountains that define this country.

My journey in Norway began in the tourism industry, where I served as a receptionist in a luxury hotel nestled amidst the inspiring beauty of  the Fjords  region.  Through  this  experience, I developed a profound appreciation for the art of service and hospitality as well as a deep understanding of the unique rhythms and nuances of this country. Settling in the picturesque Hadsel Island, located right between the Lofoten and Vesterålen Archipelagos, in Northern Norway, I discovered a sense of peace and belonging unlike any other, and embarked on a journey of romance and inner exploration. Like the elusive moose or the regal sea eagles, this island holds its secrets close, revealing its wonders only to those who venture forth with open hearts.

In late 2022, I found my true calling as a Travel Designer, a role that allows me to blend the passion for discovery with the innate desire to connect people with unforgettable experiences. From the sharp peaks of Northern Norway to the charming villages dotting the coastline, I traverse the length and breadth of the country, uncovering hidden gems and creating adventures tailored to each traveler's desires.
