From the journal

The blog posts are short, 3 minutes each with some of my thoughts and experiences from each day.
However, adding posts takes time for me so I didn't have time to do them most days on the adventure...
I will write and add the missing ones once I see more people reading the posts.

// About me

Curious. Analytic. Adventurous.

Welcome to my homebuilt website! I am a Swedish 24 year-old with great passion for sports and adventuring in new places, preferrably in combination. When I am not working or training I like to learn new stuff, for example learning a new language, reading something, or building this particular website!
Currently based in Skellefteå, Sweden, I spend my days analysing electricity markets and much of my spare time planning and preparing for this passion project: Bikepacking across Italy 2026.

My project Italy26 covers 4,000km through Italy covering Sardinia, Sicily and the mainland.
My objective was to combine challenging efforts with profound encounters with Italian people and the Italian culture. This project has neither sponsors nor a predestined goal. It is purely driven by passion to explore from deep within... and gelato!
