We love strong and brave women. Our next heroine stands out for her courage and fortitude. Karolina Plecha – one of the few women who works as a container driver in Northern Norway. Get to know her story. “The hunter of the northern lights” who decided to do an original, demanding and challenging job in the country of fjords. 
Karolina Plecha - out of love for the aurora borealis, out of the will to change ...
A graduate of Physics and Astronomy. Karolina came to Tromsø in 2013 to see the aurora borealis. It was love at first sight. Norway was definitely written for her. Why? She returned here three years later, becoming a Northern Lights guide. It was a job that gave her a lot of satisfaction. With time, however, Karolina met new people on her way, thanks to whom she found employment as a container driver. He follows this professional path to this day.
About working in the land of “cold lovers”…
A Norwegian friend taught Karolina the necessary skills. Dealing with difficult situations that are everyday life in snowy, northern conditions. Working with containers requires not only courage, automotive and physical predispositions, but also mental resilience. Karolina has all these attributes. He travels on 12-hour routes with passion and commitment. With winter in the background... He is a typical "cold lover", low temperatures, the demanding regions of the North are an exciting challenge for her.
Karolina Plecha and her life motto: "Don't give up!
How lifelike is Karolina's advice for Radio Wataha listeners? "Do not give up!" “Do what others cannot, to have what others do not have.” It's always worth learning something new. Get out of your comfort zone and explore new industries. To gain new skills. Even when we think we can't cope. The door to change is always open, you just need to have the courage to open it and enter. See what's on the other side...
We wish our heroine only positive days. As she also said: "traction and lack of slipping on the road." We encourage you to listen to the conversation!
