About us

Hi, I’m Ine: author, traveler, reader, and dreamer. In 2020, I started The Cactus Lounge, a website full of inspiring travel stories and book recommendations.

But my compass is increasingly pointing north. And so Into the North was born: a place where my love for Scandinavia can fully unfold. Together with my partner Kevin, I set out on journeys of discovery, seeking stories from the far north.
