Our story
We are two goofs who love adventure and a real challenge. We are going to be the world's first mother-daughter duo expedition to the South Pole. We will ski 700 miles and overcome extreme natural forces down to -58 degrees Fahrenheit to reach our dream.
​
But we are not the only ones who walk far and overcome extreme natural forces for our dream.
​
In the world today, there are over 100 million refugees, and most of these are children with their mother. These people flee because of war, conflict or climate crises. They are fleeing because of the terrible life situation they are in, in their home country.
​
But they also have a dream. They have a big dream. About a better future, more opportunities and, not to forget a safer and more stable everyday life.
​
Together with the refugee organization A Drop In The Ocean, we want to put refugees` life situation on the agenda, and show the world that if you work hard and follow your dream, anything is possible.

I am an 18 year old adventurer that grew up in a tent, and I have worked my way up through the levels with master expedition leader - Mutter`n. Always on the lookout for something fun and exiting, completely against the typical A4 life, and I want to live life to its fullest!

Life is an adventure - if you want it to be! It's just all about finding what your adventure is. My ultimate adventure is to ski to the South Pole with my daughter, Emma. Can you imagine anything better?

What a beautiful day - clear but cold.
