Marco
Guide - from Italy
Hey there! I’m Marco, I’m from Italy!
My dream of seeing the Northern Lights started back in 2005, when my parents gave me the DVD of Brother Bear. I was 11 years old… and from that moment, something lit up inside me. On February 6th, 2024, I finally saw my first aurora, thanks to Lorenzo, and from that night on, everything changed. Over the past year, I’ve traveled across Norway, Sweden, Finland and Iceland, just to see the aurora as many nights as possible.
I studied psychology, because I truly love making people around me feel good.
And now, my dream is to help you experience the Northern Lights, just like someone once did for me.

Mattia
Guide - from Italy
Hi, I’m Mattia, an Italian Aurora Hunter with my heart in Lapland.
The first time I saw the Northern Lights was during my Erasmus in Finland, several years ago. I still remember that night clearly: me, a group of friends, and an amateur chase under the Arctic sky. You never forget your first aurora. I was completely fascinated by this natural phenomenon, and that was the moment I fell in love with Lapland and the Northern Lights.
Since then, I have travelled thousands of kilometres across the Nordic countries, chasing the aurora and discovering some of the wildest places in the far North. After finishing my studies in law, I decided to move to Lapland to live closer to the nature I deeply love and to specialize in environmental law.
What I love most, however, is not just seeing the aurora, but sharing that emotion with others. Watching people’s joy when the lights appear in the sky is something indescribable. No matter how many auroras I have seen, it always feels like the first time.
At some point I asked myself: “How amazing would it be to turn this passion into my job?” Today that dream is reality, and here I am, ready to chase the aurora together with you.
Enthusiasm, passion, and professionalism are my core values.

Hi everyone! I’m Davide from Italy!
For years I dreamed of coming to the far north to see the Northern Lights… I still remember when I was living in London in 2016, planning to make it all the way up there to admire the spectacle. During the time I was living in Helsinki, I treated myself to a short trip of a few days to Rovaniemi, and luckily I saw for the first time the spectacular natural phenomenon known as the Northern Lights! For me, it was such an emotional experience that it made me decide that sooner or later I would come back to stay much longer. I started following Lorenzo and Luisa on social media, and day after day my desire to be part of the team kept growing. After few years, life gave me this opportunity, and I am finally here!
I’m a real fan of the outdoor life and I’ve traveled a lot, with backpack and tent, across northern Norway, Sweden, and Finland!
I lived for 5 years in London, 1 in Helsinki, and this will be my second season in Rovaniemi.
My goal is always to give you the best possible experience and to share emotions you’ll never forget.

Jade
Guide - from France
Hello ! I’m Jade, I’m from France.
I fell in love with Lapland in 2024, and since then, it has felt like an obvious part of my life : a place where I truly belong. The first time I saw the Northern Lights, I felt something I still can’t fully explain… it was like the sky was dancing just for me, offering a show of colors when I needed it the most. And suddenly, everything lit up again. It was, without a doubt, the most beautiful moment of my life.
Since then, this passion has become my path. I’ve spent time trying to understand how this incredible phenomenon forms and what’s happening above us. And no matter how many times I’ve seen the aurora, I’m still just as amazed every single time it appears in the sky.
Now, my goal is to help you experience that same feeling : that sense of wonder, emotion, and magic, while also sharing a bit of what I’ve learned along the way, and giving you an unforgettable moment under the Arctic sky.

Guide - from Italy
Hi, I’m Gianni and I’m from Italy.
Since I was little I have always been passionate about the night sky, at the age’ of 8 my parents gave me a telescope and I began to spend entire hours at night learning the names of the stars and constellations of the Northern Hemisphere -.
I graduated in Chemistry and grew this passion of mine and’ it remained so.
I began to devote myself to long-exposure astronomical photography with the telescope and landscape photography of the Milky Way.
After my first trip to Lapland, I immediately fell in love with Arctic nature, but above all with the beauty and emotions of observing and photographing the Northern Lights.
I always hope to pass on my passion and emotions in standing under the Arctic sky observing the most beautiful spectacle that nature can give us, the Northern Lights.

Eva
Guide - from Slovenia
Hey there! I’m Eva, originally from Slovenia.
Before Lapland, I spent years working and traveling around Africa — especially Namibia — where I became completely obsessed with the night sky. I’d sit outside for hours staring at the Milky Way, genuinely confused how the sky could possibly look that unreal. Then I came north… and somehow traded one sky addiction for another. These days, I spend my winters chasing Northern Lights through freezing forests and temperatures that turn your eyelashes into icicles.
I love photography, freediving, experiencing different cultures, and helping people experience those moments where you suddenly realize the world is way cooler than your camera can capture. So, if you see someone outside smiling at the sky at -30°C like a complete idiot… that’s probably me.

Pierpaolo
Guide - from Italy
Hiya! I’m Pierpaolo, aka CEDRO.
I’m a singer-songwriter, musician, and aurora hunter from Puglia, in southern Italy: a land of sun, sea, wine, and olive trees.
My fascination with the aurora began with words and poetry, which first projected me toward the stars and gently welcomed me into the vastness of astronomy. Over time, poetry naturally evolved into music, helping me realize early on that I feel alive through connection, that I exist as a way of bringing people closer together. Chasing the Northern Lights, for me, is like a performance in which I am only a conduit. The sky is the true performer.
What keeps me going is the thrill and the quiet awareness that no night is ever the same, and that the heart keeps its rhythm until it suddenly meets the miracle of the sky. Because life is an infinite soundtrack, and the Arctic sky feels like a Pink Floyd song: “Any Colour You Like”.
And yes, I’m Italian: you might spot me sometimes on tours wearing a shirt and tie.

Berta
Guide - from Spain
Hi! I’m Berta from Barcelona!
I came to Lapland because one aurora was never going to be enough. After seeing my first Northern Lights in Helsinki two years ago when I was living there, I knew I wanted this to be my everyday view.
Now, I spend my nights chasing the sky, following nature’s lead, and helping people experience a moment they’ll remember forever.

Eva
Guide - from Slovakia
Hi! I’m Eva from Slovakia.
I saw my first Aurora in 2024 while studying in Finland. I still remember standing outside watching the sky move and glow in ways I never imagined were possible.
From that night on, I was hooked. Aurora forecasts became part of my routine, and whenever the skies were clear, you could find me outside looking up. What started as curiosity turned into a passion, and I never wanted to miss a chance to see the Aurora.
After finishing my studies, I returned to Slovakia and worked in marketing, but my mind was still in the North. Every aurora alert reminded me where I really wanted to be, so I made the decision to move back to Finland and follow my passion.
Now, I get to share the excitement and emotions that come with witnessing the Aurora for the very first time — just like I once did.

Anthony
Guide - from Belgium
Hello! I’m Anthony Buongiovanni!
I’m a professional creative filmmaker, photographer and timelapse creator, with a deep love for travel, wild landscapes, night skies.
Over the past years, I’ve been traveling and creating in many different places around the world, from Japan and the American West, to Malta, Sicily, France, Belgium and Alaska. One of my most memorable adventures was also driving the legendary Alaska Highway, crossing wild northern landscapes on the way to Alaska.
My love for the Northern Lights became much stronger during my first real aurora chase in Alaska. I spent several nights under incredible skies, filming, photographing and learning more about this amazing natural phenomenon. Seeing the aurora dance above me for the first time was emotional, powerful and honestly hard to describe.
Since then, the Northern Lights have become much more than something beautiful to capture. They make me feel present, inspired and deeply connected to nature. For me, chasing the aurora is not only about seeing beautiful lights in the sky, it is about living an unforgettable moment and sharing that emotion with others.
I’m really excited to share my passion for the Northern Lights with you, and hopefully chase the magic of the Arctic sky together.
