About
A Norway-based foodie with a passion for authentic cultural experiences and making personal connections while traveling.
Travel style
For me, the most memorable and enjoyable travel experiences are when you immerse yourself fully in the culture. I enjoy a wide variety of authentic travel, from multi-city trips, to exploring wine/whisky regions, to African safaris and relaxed beach vacations. If you want to visit a more exotic place, my international security expertise can help get you there and back safely. Travel should be about making lasting memories, and I can help make your next trip an unforgettable experience.

Alexander's reviews
Alexander did an excellent job of tailoring the trip to our needs and preferences. He created a balanced and fun itinerary and provided us with experiences we would not have been able to find on our own. He worked within our budget and always provided us with options at different price points. He even helped us find restaurants that could accommodate the various dietary restrictions of our group. Alexander was very responsive to all of our questions and requests and his attention to detail was evident and appreciated. I consider myself to be a seasoned traveler and I plan to use Alexander for all of my future vacations.

Booked travel to Oslo

Alex exceeded all expectations helping us plan our first trip to Japan. We couldn’t have been happier with the itinerary. He took the time to understand our interests and preferences and planned a trip which perfectly met our needs. Once in Japan we were so grateful for the attention to detail. We had amazing local guides, our hotels were perfectly located (and quite beautiful) and the transfers/transportation made our trip stress free. We have not used a travel agent in the past but will definitely call on Alex for our future travels. He was fantastic to work with.

Alexander was very easy to work with. He was helpful and responded very quickly to any concerns we had. I think him for continuing to work out the hotel bill and appreciate his continued persistence. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a travel expert.
