Description
I’m Daniel, a 31-year-old from the Netherlands with a background in adventure tourism, hospitality and design. Last winter I worked as a musher and hiking guide in Northern Norway, responsible for the daily care and training of up to 200 huskies. I also hosted guests, gave dogyard tours, and guided hikes through the Arctic terrain. It was hard, honest work and I loved it.
Outside of the snow, I’m hands-on and curious by nature. I’ve worked as a graphic designer and brand strategist, but I’ve also spent time building fences, clearing land, painting cabins, assisting with landscaping, and fixing whatever needed fixing. I’m also a visual artist, working mainly with drawing and storytelling through images. I value observation, presence and creating things with meaning, whether on paper or in the real world.
I speak Dutch, Danish and English fluently, and I can hold a basic conversation in Norwegian, which I’d love to develop further. Right now I’m traveling through Norway in a van together with my lifelong friend Maarten. We’re exploring new places and looking for opportunities to contribute in meaningful ways. Whether that’s in outdoor guiding, farm work, maintenance or guest experiences, I bring a calm energy, a strong work ethic and a genuine interest in people and place.

More details about your skills
Last winter I worked as a dog musher and hiking guide in Northern Norway, taking care of up to 200 huskies and guiding guests. I’m experienced in hosting, storytelling, light construction, maintenance, and outdoor work. I also work as a designer and visual artist, which helps me stay sharp, observant and creative in practical situations. I’m calm, hands-on, and quick to adapt, whether it’s with tools, people or unpredictable weather.

Feedback
From the very first moment we felt like part of the family, not just helpers.
Helping with the entire process of cutting, raking, hanging and storing the grass was like stepping into living history, doing it all the traditional way.
