Laura’s love for Nordic adventure began as a teenager, captivated by the Lillehammer Winter Olympics on TV. That passion turned into a career in 2010 when she founded Magnetic North Travel. Whether exploring the mountains or unwinding by a fireplace in a cosy cabin, she’s always at home in the North and loves to share her passion with our clients.

Favourite Travel Memory:After more than a week of hoping and waiting aboard our Expedition Cruise in Svalbard, we finally spotted a majestic polar bear on the second-to-last day, making its way from the shore into the sea!

I loved the sledding, the walk to the island on the ice track which I did on my free morning ... and yes, I saw the Northern Lights on the last night! I would have no hesitation in recommending Magnetic North Travel, and I hope to book with you again.
