Northern Lights from the plane
I am your Alaska & the Nordics Extraordinaire!
While living in Alaska, I gained an insatiable love for the state, and with that came a special interest in chasing the Northern Lights. I have been all over Alaska from the most northern point, Utqiagvik (Barrow) to the southern Inside Passage. I've lived in rural Alaska listening to the glacier crack while watching the Northern Lights at night. I've been on almost every ship that sails to Alaska. I can help you!
Close your eyes and envision the dance of the Northern Lights over Arctic landscapes, from the snow-capped mountains of the Nordics to the wild terrains of Alaska. As your Aurora Borealis and Arctic Specialist, I've not only chased the magic myself around the world but also curated enchanting experiences for adventurers seeking the Arctic's wonders.
Whether you're a couple seeking a romantic rendezvous under the Northern Lights in Scandinavia, a family yearning for an otherworldly cruise escape, or a group ready to embrace the solitude of the wilderness, I'm here to craft an expedition tailored just for you!
Why Choose Me:
Aurora and Nordics Expertise: I've chased the Northern Lights through the pristine skies of the Nordics and Alaska, ensuring you witness this celestial display in all its splendor. I'll guide you to optimal locations and provide insider tips for the best viewing experience.
Arctic Alchemy: From Nordic wonderlands to Alaskan wilderness, my itineraries blend the best of both worlds. Immerse yourself in the cultural richness of the Nordics, cruise the Arctic waters, and explore the grandeur of Denali.
Seamless Magic: Your Arctic adventure should be as effortless as it is extraordinary. I take care of every detail, from cozy lodgings with optimal Northern Lights views in Scandinavia to immersive excursions that unveil the heart of Alaska.
My Areas of Expertise
Unmatched customer service - Above and beyond!
If you’re not using Cheryl, you’re wasting time and money. Not only was she able to get me a MUCH better price than anything I’d seen but her communication is unmatched! I am an emergency room RN and was working overnight. While on my break, I sent her an email asking a question. It wasn’t a time sensitive question and our trip was four months away. She answered my email in minutes! In the middle of the night! I was floored. She told me she always tracks her clients’ flights that are traveling internationally so she was awake waits to make sure they made their connection. I can tell you, none of these sites have ever done that for me! Not to mention they’re a pain to get in touch with. And, she doesn’t charge any fees?!? She’s a wizard who really cares about her clients. USE HER!
Thank you so much for the kind words. Your reply to my immediate email response was so funny! I'm a natural night owl so it's usual for me to be up late. We're the perfect match. Making sure my clients have a seamless vacation is always my top priority. Thank you again for your support!
