Dries Jacobs, 27 was born in Bauges, Belgium in 1980. He has a masters in translation (English/Spanish) from College Brussels and has worked in Michigan and Italy. Dries says, "I have always been fascinated by the extreme, whether it is hot or cold. The extreme cold has always attracted me. I think that humans should never have lost their relation with nature. Being out there and surviving on what nature provides gives me inner peace, away from 'civilized' world. Since I was a kid, I have travelled a lot. That explains my interest in languages and seeing the world. My dream is to one day do expeditions with dogs in some of the world's most beautiful places. If I can finish the Iditarod, I will be ready for any kind of expedition." Dries is single and his hobbies and interests include: running, travelling, skiing, hiking, and fishing. |
