Another backpacking trip in the north of Sweden

This post was actually meant to go out before we headed out but I just didn’t have time to publish it. Too much time spent weighing the options in terms of equipment (pun intended, see below :)
As we got hooked on fjällen last year, Karin and I early on decided to go backpacking in the [...]

Iowa

Karin and I are now some 800 miles from Pittsburgh. It’s pretty good considering that we are driving on smaller roads but not as far as we thought we would get on the second day. Todays main stop became Rockport, Illinois which we found to be a town with lots of Swedish immigrants. At one [...]

Happysad

It feels like it was a really short summer this year, I only used about two weeks of my vacation and maybe that’s why. In Sweden we usually take at least five weeks vacation per year, quite unlike americans who seem to have about the same amount of time but strangely afraid to use it.
Anyway, [...]
