About us
Get in touchWe are a customer-focused experince provider living on a farm, with 11 siberian huskies, located in Tornedalen, close to the Finnish border. Our idea is to provide genuin personal exeriences for couples. “We”, Eric & Susanne, are passionate about providing the best experience for our guests. We are looking forward to sharing a little bit of our life style with you, and also learn about you (if you want to share).
We are located in Leipijärvi, aproximately 25 km from Haparanda (the biggest town in the area located by the border to Finland).
We offer small scale nature based, primary dog experiences (dogsledding, husky joring, husky hikes) but also other human powered experiences, such as snowshoeing and fatbiking.
If you are looking for an experience outside the “beaten path”, this is the place!
Meet the team
Eric
Eric is a former US Army worker who made the bold move from Alaska to Sweden, bringing with him a wealth of experience and a deep love for the outdoors. After settling in Sweden, he transitioned into a new chapter of his life as a nature guide, where he channels his passion for the wilderness into his own business. Eric isn’t just a guide—he’s dedicated to giving his guests an unforgettable experience, always going the extra mile to ensure they connect with nature in the most authentic way possible.
A true nature enthusiast, Eric lives for the outdoors. He’s an avid cyclist, constantly exploring new trails and routes, and he spends his summers paddling a kayak across lakes and rivers. His background as a climber adds another layer to his adventurous spirit, and he’s always up for tackling new challenges in the great outdoors.
But above all, Eric is a **dog person** through and through. His love for dogs runs deep, and it’s clear in everything he does. Whether he’s guiding a group through the wilderness or just going for a bike ride, his dogs always come first. They are his constant companions and the heartbeat of his life. Eric’s bond with his dogs is unshakeable, and his deep respect for them reflects in the way he cares for them—like family.
In everything he does, whether it’s guiding, cycling, paddling, or spending time with his dogs, Eric exudes a sense of purpose and passion for the natural world. His life is a perfect blend of adventure, connection, and a genuine desire to share the beauty of the world around him with others.
Susanne
Susanne was born in a small village above the Arctic Circle, where she grew up surrounded by nature and the vast northern landscapes. After traveling around the country for a few years, she eventually settled in Luleå, where she pursued studies in behavioral science. Her curiosity about human nature and well-being led her to a career where she could combine her passion for understanding people with a deep desire to help others.
A few years ago, Susanne expanded her horizons even further by training as a yoga instructor. With her new skills, she opened her own studio, where she helped others find peace and balance in their lives. Today, she offers something unique—ice yoga, a truly exclusive experience where participants practice yoga on ice, embracing the stillness and beauty of the northern wilderness while reconnecting with their bodies and minds.
But Susanne’s heart isn’t just in yoga. She has a deep love for her dogs, and they are a central part of her life. In addition to her work with her own dogs, she dedicates time as a volunteer for **Rolda**, an organization that helps rescue and rehome dogs from Romania. Her commitment to the well-being of these animals is just another expression of her caring nature and her belief in giving back to those who need it most.
Susanne’s life is a beautiful blend of passion, purpose, and connection—with both people and animals. Whether she’s teaching yoga, working with rescue dogs, or spending time with her own pack, her dedication to creating a peaceful and fulfilling life for herself and others is evident in everything she does.
The dogs
There are 11 of us, come and meet us for an experience of a lifetime!
Jumper
Our first husky! Super cool, adaptable and up for any challenge from hanging out on the sofa to leading a dog team in a blizzard. Always keeps his cool.
Juna
She is a running machine, shy at first but really gentle and affectionate. Comes alive in the harness and loves to roll in the snow. Jumper’s sister.
Guido
Our big man, Guido is shy of people but incredibly powerful and graceful. He is the oldest of the group at 10 and the father of the babies. Loves nothing more than cheese.
Mimi
Smallest of the adults, quick and with boundless energy Mimi is the mother to the puppies. She loves to run!
Leo
Susannes favorite 😉 ”Lele” looks just like his dad and is strong as an ox and sweet as honey. Tireless in the harness.
Scout
Scoutie is good in the harness and a little quiet at first but loves attention. Sometimes overlooked because of his shyness.
Marlon
Goofy and playful, ”Marley” is the most affectionate of the pups, he demands your attention!
Frank
Our blue eyed ”Frankie” is cool in the harness, strong and dependable. Can be paired with everybody. Loves snacks and eating fast!
Peanut
”Peenie” is a work in progress in the harness, but more than willing to take you for a walk and hang around with you! Has a beautiful ”singing” voice. She is the referee in the cage when the dogs play.
Pumpkin
”Pumpa” is our tough girl, definitely lead dog material. Smart and more than a little mischievous, she was our escape master from the cage.
Hazel
The smallest of the ”puppies”, ”Hazie” is also a little shy at first, but like her Mamma has boundless energy for running. Also loves to sleep in our bed until late.
