About Dana

I am Dana, your fellow adventurer and the creative energy behind Feel The Mountains. Nature is not just a passion for me; it’s my sanctuary, where I thrive as an avid skier in winter and an enthusiastic hiker and backcountry camper in the warmer months. As a devoted search and rescue volunteer, community supporter, and advocate for a healthy lifestyle, my connection with the outdoors runs deep. Feel The Mountains is not just a trip planning company; it’s an extension of my love for the great outdoors.

I find joy in crafting personalized itineraries for other incredible adventurers, sharing my knowledge and passion for exploration. My own experiences have taught me the importance of balance – whether it’s navigating challenging landscapes or finding tranquility in the quiet forests. As a skilled planner, I meticulously organize both big-picture visions and small details, leaving room for the delightful surprises that can make a journey truly unforgettable. A citizen of the world with Canada and Europe as my two homes, I’ve dedicated months to traversing our beautiful planet. These journeys have not only revealed stunning landscapes but have also been a significant part of my personal exploration and growth.

I firmly believe that exploring new places is a mirror to self-discovery, and it should be done on our own terms, not in prescribed ways. That’s why each trip I plan is personalized to suit YOU – tailored to your needs and wishes. Your experience becomes a unique journey to discover not only the beauty of nature but also the beauty within yourself.
