Who am I?

I'm a 27-year-old who can usually be found in the woods (or on the coast) with a fishing rod or camera in hand. If I'm not there, I'm probably sitting at my desk working on upcoming projects or busy tying flies for the next mountain season.
Growing up on Gotland among waves and limestone cliffs, my interest in showing other people how amazing the world around us is was formed early on and I have worked as a guide and zookeeper for the past 8 years with everything from giraffes and gorillas to caves.
Fishing has been a part of my life since my early teens, but it was just over 5 years ago that the inspiration really took off when I started learning to fly fish. My vacation weeks during those years were quickly booked with trips to the mountains and forests of northern Sweden where I mainly focused on trout and grayling fishing in running water but also built experience in foraging and outdoor life.

The inspiration for more adventure culminated in me giving up my apartment, rebuilding my car, getting a roof tent and living in it for 6 months until the start of school at Forshagaakademin in August 2023.

I wanted to try a wilderness life where I had plenty of time to write, fish and photograph my adventures. In doing so, I have learned to live simply and fall back on the things that give my life substance and meaning which are all grounded in nature and people.

Since 2024 I have started my own guided tours in the Swedish mountains where I try to get to know my guests who come from all over the world and teach them everything I can about our nature and culture.
As a person, I am careful, driven and solution-oriented. My time in professional life has taught me how to work efficiently and safely, both in a team but also on my own. When guiding and working, the most important thing for me is to have fun and believe in what I do, but also to make sure my guests feel safe and get the most out of their experience.
I have good language skills in Swedish and English.

Best regards!
