Frida Halvorsen
Frida loves the outdoors in any context. Campfire and relaxing or climbing big walls, she loves it all. Currently studying to be a paramedic in Tromsø, Frida will take care of you on any adventure.
Born and raised in Bergen, Frida has always loved to be out playing in nature, and learned to ski when she was a couple of years old. Her outdoor-skills are varied and she enjoys everything from long, cold ski trips to sea kayaking and climbing mountains with big walls. However, she also really enjoys relaxing around a campfire, sleeping under the stars and just playing around. She is happy as long as she is outside. The last decade she has worked in the army, studied Friluftsliv, worked with both adults and kids in the outdoors and guided and instructed kayaking for several seasons. Besides skiing, climbing, kayaking and hiking, her main interests are photography, traveling and wilderness medicine and rescue. She is interested in learning about history and culture of any nation, and of Norway itself. Now, she is based in Tromsø, where she lives on her sailboat and studies to become a paramedic while also working as a guide in her spare time.
