Siv Harstad
I am a speaker, expedition leader and author whose philosophy is to inspire and motivate people to Dream Big in their life. After surviving Nepal’s 2015 major earthquake, resilience and determination led me back to Everest, making me the first Norwegian woman to climb Mount Everest from the Nepali side and 10th Norwegian to climb all the 7 Summits (highest mountain on all continents) among the 85 first ladies in the world to do so.
I grew up on a small sheep farm on the west coast of Norway and after working intensively in corporate culture, I suffered severe burnout which made me sick for years. Both my illness and earthquake experience made me reevaluate what’s important in life.
I gave up my successful career in management consulting and HR to pursue my dreams. Now on a mission to the North and South poles to complete a world’s first.
As an adventurer I visits some of the most remote and vulnerable environments in the world. Seeing all the pollution “everywhere” is sad. We cannot continue this, Mother Earth need us to stop polluting and start cleaning up. If we all do our part, it will be a massive impact. Proud to join EyeSea as an Ambassador.
