Meet the Team ✨SVATAVA SPĚVÁČKOVÁ ✨
Svatava is one of the newer faces on the team. Originally from the Czech Republic, she has spent most of the past 5–6 years working in Norway and the Arctic, quickly becoming a highly experienced expedition guide in her new home country.
Svata (shorter version of her name) joined the team almost by coincidence, after participating in a WEM Polar medicine course held in collaboration with Turgleder. During the course, she got chatting with Kasper about expeditions and guiding. She mentioned her plans to ski one of Kasper’s favorite routes in Finnmark: the one we do from north to south; and Kasper got excited about it.
Because Svata is an absolute badass, she ended up skiing the route solo, finishing almost a week faster than it's usual. That meant she suddenly had some “time to kill” in Karasjok, where she hung out at Engholm Lodge. And, of course, joined the team for some skiing. Since then… she just hasn’t left us — and we love it!
Svata has a background as a paramedic and has spent several seasons working in logistics and safety with CARS, the Czech Arctic Research Station in Svalbard. She has been working with dogsledding for two winter seasons too. This background, combined with her guiding experience in Norway, Svalbard, and lately Antarctica, makes Svata an incredibly capable guide and one of the most positive people you could wish to have on an expedition as fellow.
Laughter and good times follow in her ski tracks!
