His passion for adventure, travel, and skiing inherited from his Estonian grandfather who used to cross the Pyrenees on skis to get to France in the middle of winter in the 1920’s. Of French, Estonian, and German descent, Nils was born in Germany and raised in Spain. He has swooshed down the world’s many mountain ranges including the Alps, Rockies, Chilean Andes, and the island of Svalbard/Spitsbergen to name a few. As a renowned travel photographer for Travel & Leisure, Conde Nast Traveler and Departures, Nils has explored the luxuries and natural wonders and terrain from Mauritius, Chile, and Dubai, to every European country. Nils brings his personal and professional expertise and passions together, along with easy charm, charisma and “fun,” as he leads trips to Swedish Lapland, Andorra or photographs in a remote corner of our globe.
