Mini bio
How it started.
Martin began making daily YouTube vlogs while studying in Hawaii. He earned a bachelor’s degree in Mass Communication at Hawaii Pacific University, bringing a background in visual storytelling to his travel work.
Finding his audience.
Travel became a shared adventure. By 2018, Martin and his friend Kim Sørensen were appearing as Reisegutta, Norway’s “Travel Boys,” including a tourism visit to Kaunas in Lithuania. His own channel grew around destination films, travel advice and trips with Ave.
Behind the camera.
Alongside his channel, Martin has made video projects for tourism boards and luxury hotels. TBEX appointed him a Conference Director for Video in August 2023 to help develop its education for video creators.
The family chapter.
His videos now follow both the trips and the everyday life around them: raising a daughter in Manila, returning to Norway, exploring Japan with a toddler and finding family stays around the Philippines. His 2024 newborn family vlog passed one million views. He is credited as producer and shares filming credits with Patrice Averilla, while Jerome Repelente edits the videos.
