About Me

CURRENT MISSION

building up a small adventure and tourism business at the Northernmost tip of Europe.

ABOUT ME

We are a South African / Swiss couple with a small guesthouse/B&B, lakeside cabin, hand-made crafts/souvenir shop, tourist information office and offer outdoor activities at the northernmost tip of Europe. We love traveling and currently we travel (if we have time to travel) with our team of huskies ... either on sled or with our camper/caravan. We are open for new cultures and love to live the way people live naturally all over the world. We are very close to nature and love animals.

PHILOSOPHY

Fully live every second your life with utmost respect to nature - follow your gut feeling and do not be afraid of potential failure!
