HX Adventure Travel Theatre 2026

Forget everything you think you know about expeditions. In this talk, Niek reveals how an Old Norse approach to travelling offers a powerful lens for the modern adventurer, and what truly sets an expedition voyage apart. Through the story of an unlikely Viking who found his way into the expedition world, he shows how an ancient Scandinavian mindset can shape today's travel experiences. In the end, it's about nurturing our deep need for real, unscripted moments and treating travel as what it truly is: the business of storytelling.
