About Kristin

Tell us something about yourself

I’m a full-time travel content creator based in Norway.
In 2023, I gave up my restaurant, sold my apartment, and moved into my car with my two wolfdogs.
Today, I live an authentic Norwegian lifestyle – mostly surrounded by nature, deeply connected to the forest and its stillness.
I value genuine, grounded connections with nature and the freedom of living in harmony with it.


Where are you from and where do you currently live?

I was born in Norway and have lived here my whole life.


How would you describe yourself in a few words?

Creative. Spiritual. Adventurous.


What fascinates you about the world of the Middle Ages / Viking Age?

I’m fascinated by the connection between myth, survival, and craftsmanship.
There’s something timeless and grounding about how people once lived, created, and told stories.
The Viking Age in particular carries a raw, earthy spirit that deeply inspires me.


Do you have a favorite character or setting that you like to immerse yourself in?

Absolutely! I love portraying a shieldmaiden from the northern lands – strong, proud, and in harmony with nature.
Lagertha has always been my greatest inspiration.


How did you first hear about Leonardo Carbone?

I discovered Leonardo Carbone through friends and on Instagram.
The quality and authenticity of the clothing immediately fascinated me – it felt like stepping into another time.

What do you particularly like about Leonardo Carbone’s clothing and style?

The attention to detail! The fabrics feel natural, the cuts are flattering, and every piece tells a story.
It’s wearable history – authentic and magical at the same time.


What is your favorite Leonardo Carbone outfit?

I love linen dresses combined with a woolen cloak or coat and a leather belt – especially in earthy tones.
This look is versatile and perfect for any medieval setting.


What does it mean to you to be a Leonardo Carbone Ambassador?

For me, it’s an opportunity to share my passion with a wider community and to inspire others to explore the world of reenactment and fantasy through handcrafted clothing.
It’s also an honor to represent a brand that aligns so closely with my values and my Nordic lifestyle.


Is there anything personal or special you would like to share with our community?

Never underestimate the power of stepping into another character or era – it can truly transform you.
Whether you’ve been a reenactor for years or are just beginning to explore medieval culture, remember:
History isn’t just written in books – it’s something you can live and wear.
