Hi, I'm Sohail – originally not from Kristiansand, but now a proud resident of Southern Norway. I first moved here to study, but quickly realized I never wanted to leave. There’s something about this region: the light, the people, the sea (and yes, the record number of sunny days per year!) that made me feel right at home.
Before I had even finished my degree, I joined Visit Southern Norway, where I now work to promote a region I genuinely love. My role allows me to combine my passion for people, places, and storytelling, all things that make my job both exciting and meaningful.
I’m always up for a good conversation, in Norwegian, English, Arabic or Italian – and I’d love to connect during the conference. Let’s talk tourism, culture, or just share stories over coffee!
