Henrik Viske has always had the desire to travel, but his job prevented him from doing so. So, with the support of his girlfriend and his husky Akiak, he quit his old job in favor of exploring the natural wonders his country Norway has to offer.
Now that he's started his own small business, Viske and his beloved dog have more time to travel together and to document their adventures on Akiak's Instagram. More than 10,000 users follow Viske and Akiak's travels across snowy mountains and great green expanses.
Viske tells Mashable that his travel pursuits have even rubbed off on less active friends. "Just came home from a weekend hike at Hardangervidda, with a friend who has never been camping outside before," he wrote via email. "So I'm really humble that I inspire people to go out and enjoy the nature."
