My friends call me ‘Marz’... but Marz was taken, so I opted for ‘marz_merwe’.
What’s the story behind your most-liked pics? Where did you take them, and why?
Instagram 1: I travelled to Norway to compete in the Tromsø Extreme SkyRace. After a disappointing DNF, I still managed to fall in love with the country. My parents and I hired a camper van and travelled to various areas. This was in the Lofoten Islands, a beautiful cluster of fjords and islands in western Norway.
Instagram 2: Nothing more to say – other than, I fell in love with Norway on this run!
