I’m Aleksander, the voice and eye behind Wild Norwegian.

I live on the west coast of Norway with my family.
By day, I work with sound and storytelling, as a radio host and producer. By heart, I’m drawn to stillness, nature, and the small moments that often go unnoticed.

For years, I kept busy. Filled the calendar. Stayed productive. Tried to be everything, for everyone.

And somewhere in the middle of all that… I stopped noticing how I felt. What I needed. Even what I loved.

So I began to slow down.

I started walking more. Spending time in the forest, by the sea, in the mountains. Listening. Watching. Breathing.

Not with a goal. Not for content. Just to be there.

That’s where this began. And that’s what Wild Norwegian is: A place to share the quiet things that matter.

The project

This isn’t a brand about performance. It’s not about doing more, achieving more, or fixing yourself. It’s a space for something slower. Something softer.

Tiny cinematic videos. Nature photography. Short reflections on presence, rest, and what it means to come back to yourself.

Some of it lives on YouTube. Some on Instagram. But it all starts in the same place, a moment of stillness, somewhere in nature.

Not because I have it all figured out. But because slowing down changed the way I live. And maybe it can do something for you, too.

This project is made slowly and shared freely.
