For the moment our base is at Klepp Stasjon, in Klepp municipality in the Jæren area, about 20 minutes drive south of Stavanger. We are both active sportsdivers, and are interested in animal life both on land and in the ocean. To travell is an interest we both share, and our diving- and photo gear are one of the first things we pack. Our favorite travelling destination is for the moment Africa, a continent we have visited several times the last few years.
