Below you can find an overview of my travels per year. I am slowly making my way back in time, until 2003. So I have quite a few year left to add to this list ;-)

2021
June 2021: The West Coast of Sweden
One of our favourite spots to visit for a week during the spring, before the tourist season starts is the West Coast of Sweden. I think this is my seventh visit to this part of Sweden, quite remarkable as I hardly ever revisit a place! During these visits to the West Coast I often squeeze in some all-time favourites, but also try to discover new places. The trip this time started off with a visit to Tresticklan National Park, followed by a visit to the Koster Islands. From here we are travelling south to Ramsvikslandet, Fiskebäckskil and finally Hermanön with the cute fishing village of Gullholmen.
2020
March 2020: Namibia
A long-time dream that should have come true, a 3 weeks round trip in Namibia. A dream that ended up in a 4 days journey with border rapidly closing around us due to the Covid epidemic. But although this turned out to be one of the craziest trips in my life, Namibia also left a wonderful impression on me during these crazy 4 days. And now my new dream is to be able to return to Namibia one day to finalize this 3 weeks round trip :-)
June 2020: Exploring the area around Lake Mälaren, Sweden. During the Covid19 we are taking the opportunity to explore the area around where we live a bit further! And so far we did some great day trips around the area, keeping social distancing in mind. We made a two great hikes in Tyresta National Park and Stingsmossen Nature Reserve. Visited the Häljesta Rock Carvings and also visited the Vallby Open Air Museum in Västerås.
July 2020: Our original travel plans for this year have totally disappeared due to the Covid19 epidemic. But slowly a new travel plan has developed, to a destination that has been on our wishlist for quite some time: a visit to The High Coast of Sweden. And on the route back home making stops in the Åre/Vålådalen area and the area around Idre. These are two beautiful mountain areas, mostly known for winter sports, but they are also perfect for hiking during the summer months.
September 2020: Who would have thought this would be possible, that we would travel abroad autumn 2020! But we did! We found an opportunity at the a very VERY last minute to travel to Iceland!. It meant 1 week in quarantine in a nice little house in middle of nowhere, but with great views! And 2 weeks of travelling around the whole island. And being able to travel here during the Covid time has been such a unique opportunity, with hardly anyone around and being able to experience the amazing nature without disturbances. In short: it was a fantastic trip!
2019
July 2019: Fjällen, Sweden
I love the very north of Sweden. This is the mountain area called "Fjällen" and home to some of Swedens most amazing National Parks. This is our 8th trip to the Fjällen and this time we are aiming for the very very north, right at the border with Norway, in a place called "Katterjåkk". This is an absolute off the beaten path stretch of hiking through the Hoiganvaggi valley.
June 2019: Dubrovnik, Croatia
June 2019: Montenegro
we decided to make a spontenous trip to... well, to somewhere?! We had no idea really where to go, so we started brainstorming about possible destinations, and Åke mentioned "maybe, Montenegro"? YES!! I quickly cried out, what a fantastic idea!! That would be perfect! And it was! With visits to, amongst others, Kotor, Perast and Durmitor NP.

August 2017: Northern Spain. A great 2-weeks break to the Northern part of Spain, and even a tiny corner of Portugal. We did so many fantastic hikes, ate delicious food, enjoyed the sunshine. And well, also got freaking scared while hiking on a very small hiking trail with steep cliffs beside it. And not for just 1 kilometer, no no, for 24 kilometers in total. And yes, I am afraid of heights, eeks! But I managed it, and against all odds, enjoyed it thoroughly!
July 2017: "Padjelanta National Park, Sweden. We planned a 2 week hike in this amazing national park in the very north of Sweden. We never thought it could live up to our first trip here. We often describe that hike as "walking in a postcard" as the view never stopped to amaze and the weather was the best ever. But we did! Once again fantastic weather, well, at least after the initial snow and freezing cold, lol :-) But wow, what an amazing trip and hike it was.
March 2017: An amazing 4 weeks trip to New Zealand. We visited both the South and the North Island, did a lot of hikes and enjoyed enormously of our visit to the ever changing landscapes of New Zealand.
