How it started
Hi, I’m Viktor Enoksen, the creator and local guide behind CoolWanderer. I was born and raised in a scenic fjord of Northern Norway, a place where whales visit every winter. The Arctic isn’t just where I grew up; it’s a region that I have explored extensively, and it continues to captivate me with its beauty.
My travels have taken me around the globe, including a significant time spent in the UK. The experiences I gathered along the way have only deepened my appreciation for my Arctic home. Now, with a fresh perspective, I am more eager than ever to share the charm of the Arctic with others looking for a Northern Lights holiday.
Through CoolWanderer, I intend to share my local knowledge about the best ways to explore the Arctic, from chasing the Northern Lights to whale watching adventures in the very fjords I grew up around. I provide tailored itineraries and insightful guides to help travellers unlock the best of what the Arctic has to offer.
Having seen the world, I’ve come to value the unique experiences available in the Arctic, and I’m here to help others discover this extraordinary part of the world. Whether you are planning a Northern Lights holiday or looking to explore the broader Arctic culture and environment, CoolWanderer aims to provide authentic and invaluable insights to enhance your Arctic adventure.
