About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Making new travel plans

ABOUT ME

I and my girlfriend Phim are currently out cycling around Australia. Plan to cycle for 1-2 year, yes Australia is a BIG country and we want to see a lot.

Usually we do wild camping but when get to bigger cities it's nice to have a change and stay with some local people. We like to know more about the area we are passing through. And it is also nice to sometimes sleep in a couch/bed instead for our tent:)

I was born in Floda, Sweden. It's a very small municipally and my parents had a farm there. After graduating from university I've been combining working with longer periods of traveling.

I love all sports and an active and healthy lifestyle.

PHILOSOPHY

Go out and explore and see! I try to live my dreams and don't just dream my life away.
