Reisefredrik

Fredrik Larsen’s professional brand brings together more than 30 years of experience in history, journalism, editing, writing and public speaking. A historian with a master’s degree from the University of Oslo, he has worked at the National Archives of Norway and served as editor of Aftenposten Historie from 2019 to 2025. His work focuses on communicating historical knowledge to broad audiences, drawing on research, publications and travel.

Larsen offers writing and editing assignments, editorial guidance, consultancy and speaking engagements. He is available as an adviser, sounding board and editor for nonfiction authors. His talks often explore Norwegian emigration around the world, while also covering other historical subjects. Programs can be tailored for literary venues, senior universities, local history and genealogy groups, and cultural events.

His books include Norske utposter – nordmenn utenom allfarvei (2017) and Nedenunder og hjem – nordmenn i Australia gjennom 400 år (2014), both supported by the Norwegian Nonfiction Writers and Translators Association’s fund and Fritt Ord. Larsen is based in Eidsvoll, Norway.
