With a passion for nature and the outdoors, Claire is happiest journeying through the mountains. An avid skier, hiker, and rock climber, she lived in France’s Chamonix Valley for ten years before moving to western Sweden where she is now based. Raised in Dublin, Ireland, she holds the International Mountain Leader qualification and has traveled extensively to explore mountain regions and their cultures. At home in Sweden, she can often be found working in her garden and tending to her bees.
