ABOUT ME

Moa Hundseid

I am 29 years old, born and raised on a farm in Vikedal. A small village surrounded by vast, beautiful westland mountains, here my interest in outdoor life has been cultivated.

As a one-year-old, I had to be forced into the cabin with skis on because I would rather be outside. That's how it is to this day. I would most like to be out on adventures, either on long skiing expeditions, on high mountains or on a sledding trip with my polar dogs in Norway or at home in my western mountains. Therefore, it is perhaps not so strange that I have chosen the life path I have followed, as a polar guide and adventurer.

Since I am mostly outdoors all year round you will most likely see me with tangled hair and tanned cheeks. My faithful polar dogs dangling after me is another great way to recognise me.

Below you can see my adventures until now!
