Mathia Pacenti
I am an Italian traveler that, after exploring for many years our wonderful planet, has fallen in love with the majestic nature of Norway.
I have worked with tourists all over the country as hotel receptionist and guide.
How did you get involved in travel?
"My idea of traveling involves the passion of sharing experiences and getting knowledge from locals. I always tried to give a meaning and a cultural target in every trip I planned for myself, from learning the language, a traditional dish, an hidden gem to explore, volunteering in order to give something back.
I think this is the best way to receive the best from the place you dream of.
"
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"I took a hike together with locals on a frozen winter’s night in a remote area of Northern Norway. We arrived on a top of a mountain and set up a fire under a sky full of stars.
We shared stories together with warm food and hot coffee, waiting for the most beautiful northern lights I have ever seen in my life.
In that moment, while universe was dancing for us, we could only feel all one.
