About me

Hei, I’m Mykola, and I’m the author of Fjord Away. I like exploring different parts of the world, adventures, and endurance sports. Whenever I travel, I try to be as active as possible, and most of my travels start with a specific goal, be it another charity race, a concert of my favourite band, or a visit to my friends.

Born and raised in Ukraine, I’ve been living in Bergen since 2014. What started as a little adventure to Norway grew to become my main place of residence and the place I call home.

Having Swedish and German roots, I enjoy travelling around Northern Europe and Germany, where I have been countless times. But I also love more exotic places, and I plan on spending a few years traveling and living in Asia, so stay tuned.

As a hobby, I do endurance sports, with my favourite being Ironman. In 2025, I attempted the Oslo-Bergen 500 km trail race, but my feet gave up at around 185 km mark, and I had to DNF. Since this race is organised every second year, I will attempt it again in 2027. For 2026, I have planned only two races: the Bergen City Marathon, which I do every year in April, and Ironman Frankfurt at the end of June.

I hope you enjoy reading my posts. Feel free to reach me if you have any questions 🙂
