About Do Duluth

As a working mother of two spirited and adventurous little girls, Nora and Greta, I’m always on the lookout for exciting activities in and around Duluth. We like to call ourselves “the gal pals” because we’re a tight-knit team, exploring the wonders of this beautiful city together.

For those who know me, they would definitely say I have a serious case of FOMO (fear of missing out), which means I’m always looking for the next adventure and trying to make the most out of every moment. I’m a firm believer that life is too short to sit around and wait for things to happen, so I’m always on the go and trying new things.

One of my favorite places in the world is Duluth, and I’m lucky enough to call it home. There’s just something about this city that fills me with a sense of joy and wonder. Whether it’s hiking along the shore of Lake Superior, or seeking new opportunities for fun and enrichment, there’s always something to see and do in Duluth.
