Founder, 62°NORD

Several years back, I was invited by some friends to come to Norway with them, as they were working on a collaboration with Devold, a Norwegian wool company that you would probably recognize for their classic Norwegian fishermen’s sweaters. After visiting the factory and the town of Ålesund, we did a road and boat-trip combo through the fjords and the countryside, staying at some really special hotels. The whole trip was coordinated by 62° Nord, and I’m so happy we get to hear from the founder, who started this experiential travel company with three hotels—the forested Storfjord Hotel, Hotel Brosundet in the old town of Ålesund, and the elegant 19th century Hotel Union Øye—They also design cycling, rafting, and other adventures through the fjords and storybook villages of Norway’s Sunnmøre region. Exactly the way we want to be escaping the heat right now! —Y.E.
