So, I was actually planning on being quite discreet with my plans and thoughts here, but after deciding to sign up for Via Suecia two weeks ago, that didn't last long. They wrote an article about me! You can read about it here:

Anyway, now let me explain stuff. I saw someone writing about Via Suecia on Facebook back in spring, and that sneered me right away. For some reason, far fetched ideas have an easy time sneering my thoughts, it's like I get excited thinking about things that seem like they're on the verge of being impossible.

2018 it was doing a half-marathon, 2019 and 2020 I was geocaching, taking one geocache every day. This year I apparently have a fling for long hikes. I haven't trained nearly as much as I wished I would have done though, so we'll see. The main plan is to do Gröna Bandet with Lukas. If we make it - great! And not until then will I 100% make my mind up if I'll try to continue all the way to Smygehuk.

It's not going to be easy. After reaching Grövelsjön the temperatures will go down and the days will be darker, and I will have to walk alone. I freeze a lot, and get tired of my own company after a while, so we'll see about this.

But now my ideas are official I guess.

I'm looking forward to tomorrow when we leave for Treriksröset. Wish us luck! And as I've said before - I'd love to meet you all on the trail!

Happy hiking!
