Mauthausen Memorial

Like many before me, I am an adopted Viennese, drawn to this city by its artistic brilliance and historical grandeur. As an art historian, Vienna felt like a natural calling—a place where history and creativity converge. But beyond its cultural allure, what truly captivated me was Vienna’s cosmopolitan spirit and its citizens’ dedication to a balanced, high-quality lifestyle. I was born in Oslo in 1988 and raised in some of Norway’s most international communities, immersed in Norwegian, French, English, and Polish. After completing my degree in Art History, I embarked on a journey to explore the world beyond Norway, seeking inspiration and experiences across continents. Over the past decade, I’ve worked as a professional storyteller, sharing history, art, and culture in major cities across Europe, the U.S., and Canada. Since 2017, Vienna has been my home and base of operations. Here, I guide and organize tours, offering visitors an authentic glimpse into the region’s rich history and vibrant culture. As of 2025, I am also the founder and creator of a family-run creative salon, studio and gallery for art, photo and podcasts called Kepinski Studio. So when I am not sharing Vienna’s stories on the streets, I pursue my passion for oil painting, building a community for creatives at the studio, create travel content, and then sometimes leaving the city to explore Austria’s breathtaking landscapes on long, challenging hikes. I share my happiness here with my two lively and inspiring beautiful caiques parrots, Napoleon and Sisi. With a worldly perspective and a passion for teaching through humour and storytelling, I strive to craft tour experiences that bring history, art, and culture to life—leaving a lasting impression on all who join me.
