I have always wanted to go to Sarek National Park in Northern Sweden, but by the nature of it’s remoteness, it is very hard to get to without spending a few days either hiking in (summer season) or skiing in (winter season). It is this inaccessibility which makes it remain so empty of people, pristine, raw, and totally wild. It takes …
I was desperate to return to the mountains of northern Sweden for another long multi-day hike. It is so beautiful up there, and my favourite time is early September. The temperatures have cooled, the mosquitos have disappeared, and the short lived arctic autumn is underway in all its glorious colours. The last time I hiked up here I was with my hubby, and we …

Kungsleden runs from Abisko at the northern end, to Hemavan at the southern end. During the winter months it becomes a ski trail, impassable in walking boots. I was up here in the …

When I was at home thinking about this Arctic adventure trip and the long hours of sledding it would entail, I wondered where my head would take me. I find that when I am out on …
Earlier this winter I wrote about trying to get a space on Fjällräven Polar. An adventure of a lifetime. However, only 20 people would get selected from all over the world. The first person for each region was chosen on votes (the person from my region had over 20000 votes…I do not know that many people), so competition was very strong …
I spend most of my blogging energy on encouraging and helping families get outdoors for adventures in nature’s playground. Either through practical advice and tips, or suggestions of where to go or what to do. However, it is a long time since I had a Mamma sized adventure, and recently I heard about the Fjällräven Polar expedition. I thought for all …
