I grew up in beautiful Southern Hesse, Germany, where I graduated from university in biotechnology and later worked in quality assurance. My passion has been dogs for over thirty years, in particular, I like to train and work with different breeds of working dogs.  At the end of the 90s I took a last-minute holiday to North Sweden with a friend, and was immediately blown away by the landscape. As luck would have it, in 2002 I received my first offer to work with some fascinating sledge dogs at a tour operator. I then commuted for the first few years between Germany and Sweden.  I was able to gain yet more experience in a kennel in Alaska through “work and travel” in 2005, so that I decided to become a permanent resident of Kiruna in 2006.  In parallel, I expanded my existing dog pack (two German shepherds and a motley mongrel) with several Alaskan huskies, which have faithfully accompanied me on my tours since then, and have brought smiles to the faces of my many sleigh-ride guests.  I have been working with “Husky-Cabin”, my own, independent, tour operator since 2017, and I’m really looking forward to hosting you.
