Dami Roelse was born and raised in Holland. She immigrated to the USA in 1973 after a year of travel through the Middle East and Asia with her belongings in a backpack. In the US, she settled on the West Coast and lived a country life. Dami lost her heart to the grandness of nature on treks in the Swiss Alps, the Himalayas, and eventually the place she now calls home, Southern Oregon.
