In July we went to Gotland, and it was magical! Since Lukas has never been to Gotland and I have never been there as an adult (only time was when I was 10) we had no idea what to expect and we've never understood the "hype". But it was the only region/county in Sweden we hadn't visited so it felt like it was about due time! And we were not disappointed. We've heard rumours about it being super touristy, but that was not the experience we had for most of the time. The island is big, it's not too hard to avoid the crowds. The nature was unlike anything we've ever seen in Sweden, overall, the feeling was very "Mediterranean", and not Swedish at all. It was also very warm and humid, at least when we were there. If you're interested in reading more about our trip, like what places we went to and what we enjoyed more or less, which places were more or less crowded etc, you can read more about that on the blog 🧡 (Link to blog in bio)

NEXT ADVENTURE 2025 🎉 What is going on behind the scenes? If you guessed another adventure, you guessed right! Actually, our next adventure will be in less than half a year. "In winter!?" Yes. And no, we are not doing Vita Bandet (The White Ribbon) as a lot of you might think. We have a long way to go before we are ready for that. No, our next adventure will be a long-distance hike on literally the other side of the world! 🌏 Or maybe we should just say we are going to do "a thru tramp". As our next project we will travel to New Zealand and hike their Te Araroa Trail ✨ The trail is approximately 3 000 km and stretches through the North and South Island of New Zealand. Most people hike Te Araroa from Cape Reinga in the far north, down to Bluff in the far south. Those who know us, know that we are not ones to follow the stream 🐟 So we will start from the south in December/January and hopefully finish in Cape Reinga around April/May. We can't wait to do this 🌿☀️
