"Travelling - it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller",
by Ibn Battuta.
Our journeys are bold and ambitious, and perhaps the flagship of this homepage.
Although we are also trekking and island nerds, our journeys are sorts of trailblazing travel expeditions which are unique, challenging and adventurous, and thus they epitomize our spirit within adventure.
Often, the regions, countries and places we visit during our journeys take on an exotic quality. What matters is to get away from the established routes and seek something that little bit more special and authentic. Often, we might have to overcome a bit of hardship and logistical challenges since our journeys most often don’t run smoothly. This is all part of the fun.
In our view, a journey is something you would recommend to others. To us, what really matters, is to get away from the established routes and seek something that little bit more special and authentic. We are not talking about the ultimate expedition, but to move away from the familiar, out of the comfort zone, where everyday situations and events take on an exotic quality.

Exploring the less beaten paths of the world

"Perhaps the truth depends on a walk around the lake",
by Wallace Stevens.
Since we live in the Nordics – in Denmark – we feel obliged to explore the nature in this corner of the world. It has been our playground since early childhood and still is.
Therefore, obviously, the elements of the Nordics mean something special to us.
We therefore often launch expeditions into the wild landscapes of the Nordics, exploring fjords and mountains, flat and featureless expanses of forest, waterfalls and glaciers, lakes and islands. Many of our childhood and teen expeditions into the Nordics have not been chronicled (since it was before we started taking good pictures), but we try to pick up the thread and do revisits as adults.
To us, the Nordic playground is all about natural beauty. From Alaska and Canada in Northwest over Scandinavia and Greenland to Kamchatka and the Kurils in Northeast there is a purity of air and wild landscapes: fjords and mountains, flat and featureless expanses of forest, waterfalls and glaciers, lakes and islands. A vast playground!

Places in the Nordics and beyond.
Last Frontier of the US:
Alaska’s vast beauty offers mountains, glaciers, wildlife, and rich culture. In two weeks, we explored Anchorage, Turnagain Arm, and Kenai Fjords, witnessing whales, sea otters, and tidewater glaciers. Denali National Park provided stunning views and wildlife encounters, capped by North America’s tallest peak, Mount Denali. Alaska is a true natural wonder.
Expansive Nordic island hopping:
We explore the entire Baltic Ocean coast line and islands which offer untouched natural beauty, rich history, and unique cultural experiences. From the medieval architecture of Sweden’s Gotland to the Turku Archipelago in Finland, and the West Estonian islands and the vibrant cultures of Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland. Highlights include the Kvarken Archipelago's geological wonders, the Kihnu Island culture, and Germany's Rügen Island.
West Sweden Arcipelago:
Sweden’s Bohuslän Archipelago, spanning 160km, is known for its pink granite islands, scenic hiking, and excellent seafood. The region offers remote charm with stunning sunsets and clear waters. Best visited in summer but also great for outdoor enthusiasts in autumn.
Into the wilderness of rural Denmark:
Denmark's rural areas, particularly its lakes and rivers, is a playground for peaceful outdoor adventures. While the country lacks the dramatic landscapes of its neighbors, it’s perfect for hiking, camping, and canoeing. Especially in the off-season solitude is guaranteed.
Truly secret spot in the Northern Atlantic:
The Faroe Islands, a remote archipelago in the North Atlantic, are a hidden gem known for their dramatic landscapes, towering cliffs, and vibrant villages. Recently named the world’s most unspoiled island destination, they offer a perfect blend of island hopping, hiking, and natural beauty.
Circumnavigating the Land of Ice and Fire:
Iceland's Ring Road offers one of the world’s most awe-inspiring road trips, showcasing the island’s raw, volcanic beauty. We spent a month traveling this route in a camper, hiking through national parks, volcanoes, and glaciers, and visiting remote islands like Vestmannaeyjar
Two North Atlantic archipelagos:
We spent two weeks exploring the Shetland and Orkney Island groups, hiking across rugged landscapes, beaches, and historical sites. In Shetland, we trekked around Sumburgh Head, Unst, and Muckle Roe, enjoying coastal walks and wildlife. In Orkney, we visited ancient sites while also diving in the Scapa Flow area. .
Touring Danish isles on in home made raft:
Tribute to our dad:
Leif, an adventurous Danish creator, built "Diogenes," a massive wooden trimaran raft, in 1971 with the help of his family and friends. Inspired by the Kon-Tiki expedition, they designed the raft to sail windward. He toured the Danish islands over several years, sparking dreams of crossing the Atlantic.
