We’re nature lovers, just like you: trackers, birders, biologists, naturalists and passionate local guides.
— Marcus Eldh, founder of WildSweden
 

We are a network of guides

Our company is small, but we have an extensive network of guides, tour leaders and hosts who all contribute to our guests’ experiences in different ways.

 

Marcus Eldh

I am the founder and owner of WildSweden.

I grew up with the forest as my natural playground, and now live with my family in a small cottage in the countryside outside Svärdsjö. At WildSweden, I guide some of our tours, develop new trips, write our newsletters and work with our partners. I started WildSweden in 2003 to help people experience and care for Sweden’s wild nature.

Simon Green

I am a university-trained guide with a strong passion for wildlife, especially wolves.

Today I am the site manager for our operations in central Sweden, and in the off-season I teach guiding skills around the country. When I am not working, I spend time with my family and our cats, rabbits, chickens and bees in the countryside.

Lisen Källman

I am a trained wilderness guide and biologist, and I have always felt most at home outdoors.

I grew up tracking wild animals with my parents, and I still spend much of my free time hiking, canoeing or simply being outside. As a guide, I enjoy sharing the calm, curiosity and connection that nature can bring.

Cathrin Larsson

I am a mountain leader, freelance journalist and cabin host with a deep love for the mountains.

I have spent time outdoors since I was young, and I enjoy helping people discover something new in nature, and sometimes in themselves. At WildSweden, I lead winter trips in Jokkmokk.

Daniel Modigh

I have had nature close to me all my life, from scouting as a child to mountain trips with my family in Grövelsjön. Alongside outdoor life, I have always been interested in philosophy and inner development. As a guide, I am calm and grounded, and enjoy creating space for nature to show itself through walking, swimming, exploring and using all our senses.

Adrian Hill

My passion for the outdoors began with dog sledding, where I was inspired by the dogs’ energy and joy in nature.

Since then, time in wild places has been an important part of my life, through travel, volunteering and endurance sport. I enjoy helping people feel comfortable outdoors and believe shared experiences in nature can give us new perspectives.

Mie Radeka Romée

I am a certified nature guide leading tours in central Sweden.

I love walking, hiking and being present in nature: sitting by a fire, watching the sunrise and listening to birdsong, waves and wind in the trees. Edible plants are a passion of mine, and I enjoy sharing knowledge about the species and the web of life around us.

Gina Backman

I take care of your emails, bookings, payments and other practical details before our tours.

I also follow up with guests and guides afterwards to see how everything went and what we can improve. Outside work, I spend a lot of time outdoors and take part in osprey monitoring in Färnebofjärden National Park.

Sara Wennerqvist

I am a wildlife photographer and bear lover.

I guide guests to my photo hide in the forests near Sandviken, where we see wild bears in their natural habitat. I enjoy helping people slow down, stay quiet and experience the forest from a different point of view.

Christian Heimrot

I live in Jokkmokk and guide many of our winter trips in Swedish Lapland.

I am genuinely interested in nature and enjoy inspiring others to spend more time outdoors. Every time I go out, I learn something new from the landscape, from local people, from my co-workers or from our guests.

Linda Åkerberg

I am a guide, adventurer and yoga teacher who once left a busy life behind to work closer to nature.

I guide many of WildSweden’s summer tours, where we camp, cook over fire and explore the forest slowly together. I enjoy helping people slow down and feel more connected to nature.

Zsombor Károlyi

I have been guiding WildSweden guests in the forests and wetlands of Västmanland since 2015.

I have been an avid birdwatcher for as long as I can remember, and I enjoy meeting people from around the world, sharing stories and creating new nature experiences together.

Matti Holmgren

I live outside Jokkmokk with Stina, our border collies and around 50 husky dogs.

We run a small husky farm and spend much of our time outdoors. I am deeply rooted in the local area and have spent a lot of time in Sarek, where I lead WildSweden’s expeditions. My biggest passion is dog sledding through the forests, mountains and winter landscapes of Swedish Lapland.

Christiana Diamesi

I teach yoga, cook vibrant food and feel at home close to the forest, the sea, water, fire and stars.

I have worked with WildSweden since 2020, mainly leading our nature retreats and preparing meals for tours. I enjoy creating calm, welcoming spaces where people can slow down and feel at home outdoors.
