“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.
