Hervé
Wilderness Guide
I can only feel good when I’m surrounded by nature and wildlife, when I feel connected to it. I’ve been trained in Southern Finland and became a certified International Wilderness Guide. I’m now glad to share all my knowledge with you. I still have my sense of exploration, it pushes me often to unveil new locations that we will go and explore together.
Never stop exploring!
Ps: As a freelancer, I might guide you at Nordic Odyssey partners place.
Martin
Safari Guide
Born in Burgundy in the early 90s, my inner compass started to point north when, as a teen, I got quite much into metal and folk music.
Over the years, this interest allowed me to delve into Finnish history, folklore, culture, arts, music, etc.
With such buildup, I would quite certainly end up North at some point, and it finally happened when I had the opportunity to move to Rovaniemi and join the team at Nordic Odyssey.
I love being outside and experiencing nature. There is something special to this place and I will always be down for hiking, biking, skiing, canoeing…
I’ll be happy to help you discover this wonderful place and tell the stories from older times. “Under every root and stone lies a story heard but untold.”
Antoine
Safari Guide
Hello I grew up on the Atlantic coast where I developed a passion for surfing and sailing, and a few years later I made it my profession. Attracted by the north from a very young age, it was around fifteen years ago that I set foot in the south of Finland. Eager for adventure and a physical challenge, I returned again and again to run, cycle and ski, discovering Lapland in the course of various adventures. Now based in Rovaniemi, I’d be delighted to guide you through these enchanting landscapes.

Safari Guide
Moi moi!
After a trip to Finnish Lapland in 2019, my wish was to come and live in this country. So I arrived in Turku in 2021 to do a research thesis in Neuroscience. However, how can you continue to work in an office when nature is omnipresent around you? In 2024 I decided to change my life to become a guide in Lapland and thus share with you my passion for nature and winter, which I experience through photography.
Quentin
Safari Guide
Hey! I’m Quentin. After earning my master’s degree in Geology, I left my home in the Alps to embark on new adventures. Drawn to the cold weather, I journeyed to the far north, where I worked as a dog sledding guide in Sweden. I explored the breathtaking landscapes of the Arctic, immersing myself in the stunning, untouched nature, and fell in love with it. As a nature and outdoor lover, I decided to return to Lapland after a year abroad on the other side of the globe and became a guide for Nordic Odyssey.
Camille
Safari Guide
After years of travelling across Europe, North America and Oceania, living my passion for (hitch)hiking and learning about different cultures of the world, I somehow ended up in Tromsø, Norway where I fell in love with the Nordic way of life and the Arctic colours. Northern Norway is also where I started my guiding career, followed by Iceland… Finland was only next on the list! I’d be happy to take you on a tour with me, discovering the beautiful landscapes of Lapland and sharing my knowledge about Finland… and maybe a funny travel story!

Zuzanna
Sales Agent / Equipment specialist
Hello! My name is Zuzanna and I am working as a sales agent and equipment specialist at Nordic Odyssey. I first came to Finnish Lapland over 4 years ago, originally to Kaamanen where I worked at a small husky kennel. I am probably one of the few people who in order to move to Rovaniemi had to go south 😉 By a series of mysterious events I ended up learning French instead of Finnish since I moved to Finland, and I am now able to assist you in French and English.
Émilie
Communication and Marketing assistant
Hei Hei, I am Emilie the new communication assistant. As a child who grew up in the French countryside, constantly surrounded by nature, I always knew I wanted to live in wide open spaces. After earning a master’s degree in communication and marketing, which allowed me to live in various countries, I decided to move to Finnish Lapland the country that had captivated me since childhood. I enjoy promoting a company that shares my values while helping others discover a rich territory that may inspire them as it did for me is a true accomplishment.
Marie
Operations Coordinator
For several years, I have been attracted to the Nordic countries. Thanks to a trip to Finnish Lapland in 2019, I discovered and fell in love with the country. I moved to Turku in southern Finland in 2021 to complete a thesis in cancerology. But the call of nature was stronger! So I moved to Lapland in 2024 and joined the Nordic Odyssey team. I mainly work in the office but I could also be your guide on occasion!
Andrea
CFO
As nature enthusiast born in the Slovak mountains, my passion for the outdoors has been a constant throughout my life. After completing my master’s in Sales Management, I decided to embark on a journey of exploration and discovery. From the Caucasus Mountains to the US coasts, from sailing the waves of the Atlantic to exploring the salt flats of Bolivia, it was ultimately the Arctic Circle where I chose to settle with my family.
I’ve been part of Nordic Odyssey since the very start, taking on various roles along the way. Currently, I’m responsible for managing the company’s finances and ensuring everything runs smoothly.
Chris
CEO
After 10 years of travels, adventures and various challenges in nearly fifty countries, I made the decision to settle down in one of the most magical places I have ever explored : Lapland.
Since then, I have found myself a true passion for the Arctic and its mysterious nature. Something that I would gladly share with you on your next trip!
