Maren takes a bachelor's degree in biology and works with fieldwork throughout Norway. She loves to take this knowledge of nature with her on trips. Living in Henningsvær in Lofoten, she has taken a six-months long course in alpine outdoor life at the North Norwegian climbing school. In the summer, she is a climbing instructor and guide, and is otherwise often seen on a path with running shoes on his feet. After the education, she sees forward to working even more with guiding, taking people up and down the mountain.

Maren thinks one of the nicest things about outdoor activities is to let them vary between the seasons. Her favorite activities are skiing, climbing, running and trail biking. She has been skiing for as long as she can remember, and every winter season se looks forward to new adventures in the mountains. She loves the challenges, the mastery and the joy nature brings.

There have been many mountains below the feet of Maren, and recent years many of the trips have been on mountains in Romsdalen, both on skis in tghe winter, and with a rope and harness the summer. Now she lives partly in Trondheim and partly in Henningsvær in Lofoten, where she studies and works with nature.
