OUR STORY

Hi there!

We’re Ingrid and Øystein — partners in life for over 20 years. We share a love for travel, but above all, we’re deeply passionate about Tromsø. Nothing makes us happier than sharing the magic of our hometown with people from around the world.



We live just outside the city with our two kids, Iben and Johannes. This is a true family effort — you’ll be in touch with us or one our crew before and during your stay, and we’ll make sure everything feels easy, personal, and welcoming.
