Four backpacks and a teddybear
Family life, career and personal development on the move
Pulling up your roots and moving to another country is like bursting a bubble. Like you are tearing up this framework that you have built around yourself for so many years: saying this is right and that is wrong. Suddenly all your former beliefs are just like old post-its that doesn´t stick to the wall […]
When I think of a really bad Nordic summer I remember endless rain and a often hopeless chase for every glimpse of sun in the weather forecast. Summers where my bikini was the only thing that was constantly dry. Where desperation sat a spell on every economic logic of mine and made me buy one […]
I grew up in one of the most egalitarian countries in the world. I´m lucky, I know. At the same time I also know that equality is not constant. Just because we´ve reached equality once in one area don´t mean it will keep coming. Moving abroad has made me think a lot about this. We […]

The coming month we are exceeding our travel adventure one step further trying to live together on 10 square meter. In the coolest decorated Camper Van you can find on the American roads we will travel the desert southwest region together. This is our first impressions of camp life and the stunning national parks of […]
