Ten minutes counts.
Nature is how I recharge. On a busy day that’s a ten-minute escape. Other times it’s a full weekend of survival camping.
Either way, stepping into the fresh air brings the clarity back, even when the weather is rough.
My daughters come with me. Out there they explore, discover and learn how simple and beautiful life can be.
Three hundred kilometres of Arctic, with 180 dogs.
In April 2025 I joined Fjällräven Polar, a dog-sled expedition across the Scandinavian Arctic tundra, with a team of 20 people from around the world.
A little over two months have passed since the polar expedition ended…
Some said they needed time to process what they’d lived.
I needed time for my hands to thaw.I still struggle to put into words what Fjällräven Polar 2025 was.
A brutal adventure, in a place that looked like another planet,
pulled by dogs with more life experience than I have,
surrounded by people who became family within a few days.Thank you, Fjällräven, for this beautiful madness.
Thank you for reminding me how small we are in front of nature…
and how big we can be when we work together.Later I’ll share more moments, stories and faces of the incredible people I met along the way.
But for now, here are these images, which still smell of snow and hot soup.
Spend it while they’re still home.
Kids live at home for about eighteen summers. That’s the window when they’ll still hold your hand on the trail.
So I made a choice. My money goes to flights, tents and trips, not to a bigger mortgage or an expensive car.
It’s my trade-off, not a rule for everyone. But it’s the one I’d ask you to think about.
About 18 summers. Count yours.
