Hej! I take care of your emails, bookings and payments. I also prepare practical things for upcoming tours and connect with our guests and guides afterwards to see how it went and what could be improved.
I am happy to answer any questions that you may have, and I will make sure that you get what you need.

Hi there, I am guiding many of our tours during the summer season as well as during Winter. I joined the team in 2018.
I love being able to contribute to peoples positive and memorable experiences of the Scandinavian nature whilst working towards its conservation brings me both pride and joy. Off-season I am training students in guide skills, solving various tasks behind desk and spending time in our great outdoors.

Christiana Diamesi
Hi! I love teaching yoga, and to cook yummy and vibrant food. My heart is at home inside the forest, or by the sea, close to water and fire, under the stars.
I have worked at WildSweden since 2020, mainly leading our nature retreats but also preparing meals for tours.
Mirja Andersson
I have been hiking and working in many different countries around the world but there is something special with the World Heritage Site Laponia. The presence of a living Sami culture together with a fantastic unspoiled nature. It is truly a perfect place to disconnect from your daily life and connect with nature and the people around you.
I live in Gällivare and I am leading winter trips in Swedish Lapland.
Christian Heimrot
I am genuinely interested in being in nature, and I like to inspire people around me to do the same. Everytime I go out I learn something new. From locals that we meet on the trail, from co-workers or from our guest.
I live in Jokkmokk and I am leading many of the winter trips in Swedish Lapland.
Cathrin Larsson
I'm new to the team but old to the game. Found my home in the mountains from when I was young.
I work as a mountain leader, freelance journalist and take on cabin hosting duties whenever I get the chance.
Being out with people and helping them discover something new in nature or themselves is my thing.
I lead Winter trips in Jokkmokk.
Zsombor Károlyi
Hello! I’ve had the pleasure of guiding our guests in the beautiful surroundings of Västmanland since 2015. For the most part I lead Moose and Beaver safaris.
An avid birdwatcher for as long as I can remember, I enjoy spending time with people from all around the world, exchanging former experiences in nature and creating new ones together.
Josefin Hjärpe
Hi there! Wherever in the world, nature is my habitat. I believe the best way to get people to care about nature is to get them out in nature. Same goes with food (I am also a chef). I grew up by the sea but later moved to the mountains in the Swedish North.
When not outdoors or in the kitchen, I am dedicated to human rights work, locally and around the globe.
I live in Jåhkåmåhkke/Jokkmokk and I am leading winter trips in Swedish Lapland.
Matti Holmgren
Outdoor life has always been a big interest and already as a 14 year old I began to go for long hikes on my own in the forests and mountains of Jämtland where I grew up. In 1991 I moved to Jokkmokk to study ecology and in 1995 I started the eco tourism guide company Jokkmokkguiderna.
I live in a small house outside Jokkmokk with my girlfriend Stina, our border collies and about 50 husky dogs.
I spend a lot of time in the outdoors and my biggest passion is dog sledding.
