I’ve been thinking… how to share all the wacky and crazy experiences I’ve had living in Australia’s Northern Territory?
By making a comic book of course! 44 pages of jokes more or less based on true experiences in the NT.
The book will be available across the NT and conventional online bookstores from mid December. And I will be signing copies at The Bookshop Darwin on 15 Dec, between 10 and 12 am.
You can already now pre-order you copy from thorstore.dk .
After making my own adventure films for 10 years, I finally got my first job as TV-host. I’m the expedition leader on a reality-adventure tv show on Discovery+ Denmark.
This is not your ordinary survival show. This is a celebration of adventure: how the powers of nature can enrich and change us.
During a 16 day expedition of wild rapids and stunning landscapes, 6 celebrities; Jesper Nøddesbo, Andreas Jessen, Ibi Støving, Skinz and Anne-Marie Rindom, learns to embrace the magic of nature and work together to make it through.
As a new tv host I was nervous in the beginning, but I soon realised it was more or less the same as being a tour guide: share your passion and make sure everyone has the adventure of a lifetime.
And of course, it also helped that I have shot my own adventure documentaries, learn about the latest here SAILAU
I had the pleasure of sharing the story of our circumnavigation of the island of New Guinea in a traditional canoe.
You can watch the online presentation below.
And visit Royal Geographical Society Singapore to learn more about their work.
I had the honour of writing a chapter for this new compilation of spectacular expeditions undertaken by both Danish and international adventurers through the centuries.
My chapter is on the crossing of Cenderawashi Bay during our Circumnavigation of New Guinea, one of the most frightening experiences of my life.
The books title translates: “The furthest border/limit” Editor Bjørn Harvig, published (in Danish only) by Gads Forlag. Available from 25 May 2022.
Fact is that the outdoor appeal we consume is damaging the very nature that we love to explore.
Most outdoor media is (partially) funded by outdoor brands through advertisements. Hence critiquing these companies can be a delicate matter, luckily WILD magazine recognised the importance of this issue and printed my article.
If you wish to read my proposed solutions to this paradox (like buying second hand or renting gear) then look for WILD #183 magazine in your Australian newsstand.
I watched a video by famous Australian adventurer Beau Miles digging up a rock. Usually I enjoy his videos but this one gave me an odd feeling which compelled me to write an opinion piece on the We Are Explorers Website.
Hey hey, I have teamed up with Sam Druce from Reel Wire Productions and Red Kangaroo Books in a new series of pastry indulgence and book reviews. It’s all about rewarding yourself – You deserve it!
Our upcoming documentary film SAILAU will be representing the nation of Papua New Guinea (PNG) in Dubai later this year, together with our award-winning book SALT WATER AND SPEAR TIPS.
It is a huge honour to be working with the PNG Embassy and the PNG Tourism Authority on this great event, which is estimated to attract 25 million visitors.
You can support the project and learn more about the film on the Documentary Australia Foundation website.
Wohoo! I’m proud to announce that our book Salt Water and Spear Tips, was awarded Expedition Book of the Year at NAFF|Bookaward, under the Nordic Adventure Film Festival – NAFF.
