I am 61 years old and have a husband and 3 grown up kids. I am born and raised in Reykjavík, from a family of 10 and my parents had horses, so I have been riding since I was 5 years old.

 I played handball when I was young and I am a sporty person.  I like to swim, do yoga, go to the gym, bicycle and my passion is hiking. I have been hiking in the mountains and highlands of Iceland the last decades. 

 I am an adventures person andI have lived in America, Denmark and Belgium for a few years, aswell as worked summerjobs in Norway, Sweden and Faroe Islands as a teenager. I speak english, danish, faroe islandish and am studying french at the moment. I like all of these countries, but most of all I love Iceland.

I am very interested in people and love to get to know knew people. This had led me to work as a physical therapist for over 30 years and a tour guide and ranger the last 10 years.  I have mainly been guiding during summertime, hiking trips where there is yoga combined, in the highlands and in the remote areas in Westfjords.  

I love nature and know Iceland pretty well, aswell as its history, fauna and flora. I love to introduce Iceland to others and partisipate in the joy and appreciation they exsperience.

I am a bookworm, (as we say in icelandic for someone who reads a lot), I like to cook, to knit, play cards, listen to music and watch movies and series. I like playing with kids and animals, aswell as grownups.

I always have in my backpack  some dry fish and chocolate. I like to go swimming in the ocean or lakes in various locations.
