Eirik Angård
Farmer from Mid-Norway with a lot of care for others.
Eirik stays outdoors as often as possible. That is why he has chosen to settle in Dovre, surrounded by national parks. Here he spends his time, among other things, doing long trips on mountain skis, summit trips, hiking, hunting and fishing. Otherwise, Eirik has training as a child welfare educator and is very concerned about those around him, but right now he works as a dairy farmer on the family farm. He also has two years behind him as an nature guide student at Norway's Sports Academy. Eirik is very happy to discover new places and makes use of this opportunity as often as possible, whether it is in everyday life, around Norway or the world.
