A military mission to help and to create hope where it is needed...!

My little tour abroad started as a military man. After school military service was something most people did and I was one of them. I loved it... The organization, the brotherhood and the power of action! I was stucked...

After a year home I applied for international service and was accepted...

I will not go in to any details due to secrecy of our operation, but I will spread a little bit of my experience with some pictures and lessons learned...

Mountains - The roof of the world

Here is some pictiures from the days up to the top of Pico de Orizaba:


The top 5756m, tired...?

Mountains - The roof of the world!

Pictures from the La Malinche climb:



La Malinchi from the village below. Normally it has no snow.

Mountains - the roof of the world!

I always liked the extreme parts of our planet... Why? Let me explain...

Nature and its skeleton has been around us for millions of years and if we just start to listen to it we can learn the story about life! In the deserts, on the top of the mountains, through the jungles and deep down the oceans there is a story ready to be told if you just open yourself for it.

At the same time it is a good motivator for training because most of this places are remote and demands a hard fysical effort, and that is course part of the fun and the experience!

Let me today tell the story about my expedition to Pico de Orizaba in January this, the highest mountain in Mexico and one of the highest volcanoes in the world!

Waiting, waiting and waiting...

Do you know the feeling when you wear a hat and after some time your hair is really hurting because it have been laying in a bad way due to the pressure from the hat... I hate it... but it is at the same time interesting. Well...!! The volcano is starting to make life a little bit less complicated and hopefully I will be able to travel back to North Africa and Tunisia on Saturday. Sweden is cold this time of year so I get kind of desperate to get out of here... I need to get back to work...!!! Plus that my girlfriend is stucked in Houston due to the same volcanic-reason... Life is something very strange... hmmm...

So what Im doing??? Let me continue on my story from yesterday...

It all started in the beginning of the 80s´...!!!!

I was born in a small town on the westcoast of Sweden with the classic setup:
- a mother
- a father

Four years before my arrival to earth my loving parents created a child that became my sister. I came a rainy and stormy night in August and a couple of years after me, my parents closed the sack of three kids, with my little brother... Like I said a classic babyboom setup...
