    Born into a family of tour guides, I have nurtured a passion for travel and tourism since childhood. My career began as an operations manager at a cruise company, followed by a role as an airline ticket manager, and eventually progressed to planning and arranging travel.
    Since my first visit to Iceland in 2014, I have been captivated by its charm. Currently, I arrange self-drive trips and also work as a group tour leader for Iceland, the Faroe Islands, and Greenland.
    The most important aspect of planning a trip, for me, is achieving a balance between visiting as many places as possible and ensuring there is ample time to relax and enjoy the experience.
