We belong to Nature
...Okay, the word 'adventure' is relative. What we did was nothing extraordinary but I have to set one foot in front of the other and this was my most advanced winter trip so far. It was the first time we went without a group and the first time we took the pulka (sled) with us.... Continue Reading →
I thought of this post as a follow up to Losing weight from last summer, which has turned out to be an article that still gets a lot of views. I'm by no means an expert when it comes to packing or winter hikes but I'm always putting some effort in planning what to bring. Of course the... Continue Reading →
Jotunheimen This norwegian National Park is home to the 29 highest mountains of the country and has thus received it's name 'the home of the giants'. I was really excited to come here for the first time and see the landscape. Even though we have only been in one part of the region, I can... Continue Reading →

The Basque Country has an absolutely stunning geography- there's steep cliffs by the sea, rolling hills all over the place, with the occasional pointy mountain, randomly thrown... Continue Reading →

Yesterday I shoveled up a lot of snow in the garden and let it freeze over night. This afternoon I started carving the pile out, making the walls gradually thinner and I got lucky not breaking through anywhere. I even gave it a little window. It looks so cozy and I would really like to... Continue Reading →
There's places where every swede seems to go to, for cross-country skiing or to spend their weekend in a cabin: Åre, Idre, Jämtlandsfjällen. There's other places, far closer to the big cities like Gothenburg, where very few people go. One of those places is definitely Tresticklan Nationalpark. It's pristine, wild, rather easy to reach, but... Continue Reading →
Today we decided to enjoy the cold and the sunshine outdoors and walked a bit on the Vildmarksleden. This trail is 40km long and goes from Hindås to Skatås, close to Gothenburg. We didn't walk all of the trail, of course. After a couple of kilometers we sat down in a shelter, made a fire... Continue Reading →
