Title: Press officer at ICEHOTEL

Email: camilla@icehotel.com

Press officer at ICEHOTEL since 2006 (Communicator since 1999). Frost bitten from the start. Camilla's thing for the written word began at a young age in the village Månsbyn just outside of Kalix. She accredits her grandmother, and all of the stories she used to tell, as a big source of inspiration. Paul Auster is the household god. One of Camilla's biggest dreams is to experience nature from her kayak, paddling down the Torne River, all the way from Torneträsk to the coast.
