About the Initiators

A project by

Zürich

A historian by profession, I travel the polar regions as an expedition guide, lecturer, and photographer during four months a year. My home is Zurich, Switzerland, where I work in Cultural Management. At the moment, I am taking a sabbatical to write a book on Spitsbergen’s tourism history. With your support, it will be published in fall 2018.
