This was truly a magical experience. My husband and I both love animals and this visit was special in every sense of the word. Not only did we get to meet Anne's reindeer up close, but we also had the privilege of spending time with Anne herself. Hearing her share how she cares for the reindeer, lives closely connected to the land and embraces a more natural way of life was incredibly inspiring. We learned about traditional teas and foods found right on her land, simple, nourishing, and deeply rooted in the environment… along with meaningful insights into Sámi culture. It felt personal, authentic and unlike any other experience we've had. We left feeling grateful and inspired and we truly hope to return again someday.
