The adventurer behind?Mountain Made, North Bound.

Hei, I’m Jana — outdoor guide, writer, and long-time local in Norway. I grew up in a forgotten village in the Czech mountains, but spent years chasing wild places around the world — until I found one that felt like home, deep in the heart of Norway. After thousands of kilometers on foot, bike, and skis, I now share real, trail-tested tips for exploring Scandinavia outdoors, actively, and far from the crowds. Ready to hit the trail together?
