Day three started out really nicely. The view from my tent wasn’t half bad. 🙂 It was chilly but the sun was out, and I was excited to continue hiking. I can’t even remember how early I woke up, but I remember starting to hike around 8.30-9 am. I knew this stretch of the trail…
I’d rather be… at Hopewell, New Zealand, one of my absolute favourite places on this planet ❤
When I woke up this morning, I thought it would be an ordinary working day. I commuted to work, started my computer and started my work day. I quickly checked Whatsapp and read something I found hard to grasp. Stephen Hawking has passed away. One of the most brilliant souls on earth, one of the most…
It’s about 15 km between Kebnekaise and Singi and it took me a good 7 hours orso to get to the second checkpoint. Once checked in at Singi checkpoint, I got my snack of souvas and mashed potatoes. Nomm! I found myself a quiet spot to pitch my tent. It was windy when I set…
Wonder is one of those words that mean many things. Whether it’s thinking or speculating about something in a curious way, or to be filled with amazement and a sense of awe.

It’s a great feeling enjoying beautiful sunny summer weather while folks back home are dealing with winter. 😛 It’s an even better feeling when you get to enjoy a stunner of a view like this along with it! I’d never been to the Coromandel before and I have to say I love it! We spent…
…the sun came back! After literally being chilled down by rain and wind, it sure was so nice to feel the warmth of the sun on my skin again. And also to see beautiful contrasts in colours appear like on this photo. No matter how tired I was at the time, this sure brought a…
The weather was a lot colder and more changeable than during my first attempt to hike the Fjällräven Classic. This time there was more snow on the mountains and heaps lower on those mountains as well. Makes for a pretty picture to see the snow dotted about, and just as long as I don’t have to…
When I woke up this morning and opened my curtains, I was greeted by a winter wonderland. Snow looks so pretty when you don’t have to go anywhere. And today, I was working from home, so I could stay in the comforts of my own apartment, all warm and snug. When I finished work for…
Because I simply can’t get enough of New Zealand, I went back recently! From mid December 2017 to mid January 2018, my mom and I travelled through this beautiful country together. Fourth time for me, first time for her. Mom wanted to see for herself why I love this country so much, and consequently fell…
