You will take a seat on the large wooden sledge (maximum 4 persons/ a family). Your guide will lead the team over frozen lakes. During the tour, you can witness the power of the dogs, experience the breathtaking nature, and ask our musher anything about the dogs, the environment, or life in the North.

“Watching our daughters grow up in nature taught me that the best moments happen outdoors. My goal is to give every guest that same sense of wonder.”

My heart has always belonged to animals and the great outdoors. My youth was spent chasing adventure like hiking the French Alps, canoeing, snowboarding, and downhill mountain bike trails with my brothers. When I combined my education in animal care with a dog sledding internship in Swedish Lapland 14 years ago, I found my true calling. That passion quickly became my way of life.

Today, co-running Direct North with my husband (Dirk) and raising our three daughters in nature is my dream realized. Becoming a mother gave my love for the outdoors even greater depth. Seeing our children explore, discover, and grow outdoors reminds me daily of how special this connection is. My biggest drive is sharing that same magic, freedom, and authentic nature experience with everyone who joins us.

“As someone in tech the Arctic outdoors give me more balance. Making me more present, moving with the seasons, and enjoying nature.”

My background is in design and website development, but since moving to Sweden, the natural world has taken a much bigger part. It’s not about escaping technology, but about finding a healthier rhythm. Outdoors is where I recharge. whether that’s learning the skills of the forest, steering a dog sled through snow, or simply being outside with our family. My wife (Monica) and I feel incredibly fortunate to raise our kids in this environment. Living here has brought us so much fulfillment. And it’s rewarding to be able to welcome guests to experience this way of life.
