Welcome to my blog full of adventures

I started to write this blog in 2018 when I set out to my expedition European Peaks. It was a life changing experience. I managed to climb the  highest mountain of every European country during just 361 days and I became the fastest ever!

Since then I’ve been adding stories from other hiking trips around the world as well as travel tips from my home Scandinavia.

If you’re looking for beautiful views without climbing a mountain, I have something for you too. On the way to my mountain adventures, I also love exploring cities, and you’ll find my favourite walks, viewpoints and local tips in my European city guides.

Do you love hiking, adventures, viewpoints and photography as much as I do? Are you looking for inspiration for your own trips? Then you are in the right place!
