Kristine Bergseth
Kristine lives right amongst the steep mountains and deep fjords of the west coast of Norway, more specifically in Sunnmøre. Her skills and love for the outdoors makes this her favorite place to be - both when it comes to guiding and trips on her own.
Kristine is always seeking to go on, and to improve herself, and is never giving up on even the hardest tasks and chores. She is educated as an outddor teacher (bachelor's degree), and is also a kayak instructor, sport climbing instructor, and a nordic avalance instructor. Even though Norway and Sunnmøre lies close to her heart, Kristine also enjoys going on adventures abroad, and has a liking to the higher altitude, as her trips to Mont Blanc and Lares Trek in Peru.
