Travelling storyteller.

Travelling storyteller.

Master Mariner, with experience from the Norwegian Navy & the Cruise Industry. Born and raised in the beautiful city of Bergen, in Norway. I like travelling, and my jobs have made me able to visit 126 countries. Of course, my travel experiences are more than just the maritime part. I am a people watcher. Oh, and by the way, my opinions are sometimes absolutely ridiculous. But they are mine!! ⚓️ #travel #cruise #Thailand
