I grew up tracking wild animals with my parents, and I still spend much of my free time hiking, canoeing or simply being outside.

      <image:caption>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.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>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.

      <image:caption>From an article in The New York Times, April 2021: “Perhaps the most magical moment of my life: sitting at the edge of a lake, surrounded by a forest and the semidarkness of Swedish summer, listening to the howling of wolves just a few hundred meters away. They knew we were there, of course, but chose to remain nearby, making this auditory encounter one entirely on their terms.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The hide has views in three directions and slots for your camera. In the evening, the forest comes alive, and bears and other wildlife may show up at any time. Often they come as close as just a few meters, and many other wild animals may pass by. Wolves, foxes, badgers, squirrels and a large variety of birds.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Christiana &amp; Marcus - we will be hosting this retreat Christiana loves teaching yoga and meditation. She’s also cooking delicious and vibrant vegan food. Her heart is at home inside the forest, or by the sea, close to water and fire, under the stars. Her passion is to inspire living a simple and conscious life in nature. Having grown up in urban Athens, she came to Sweden with her dog Aretha and they both rediscovered the untamed version of themselves in the forest. Marcus spends a lot of time out in Sweden’s forests. He likes to go for hikes among trees, swim in cold lakes and to sleep in tents. His favorite season is Winter when he can walk on skis, heat up in saunas and cool down in frozen lakes. He has worked full time as a nature guide since he founded WildSweden in 2003. He shares his knowledge and love for Nature generously and sincerely, so every adventure is unique. Although he has seen innumerable wild animals and plants, his enthusiasm every time is as if it were the first time.</image:caption>

During this adventure, you'll learn invaluable survival skills, including using a knife, woodcarving, and fire-making, just like our ancestors did. You'll also discover the diverse flora and fauna of the forest, from towering pines to tiny ants. We'll taste what's edible and cook delicious meals over an open flame.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>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.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Secret adventures - The Art of Tracking Wildlife in Snow - What to bring</image:title>
      <image:caption>&gt;&gt; See our general packing list for Winter trips in Central Sweden. You will be outdoors all day, so dress warm. Wooden forest skis can be rented from us or you can bring your own off-track skis. We will provide a thermos with hot drinks. Our rental skis are compatible with any winter boots, so if you have warm and comfortable ones, feel free to bring them. Note that regular cross-country skis designed for prepared tracks (Swedish: spårskidor) won’t work for this terrain. Never skid before? Don’t worry. This trip is perfect for beginners, so you don’t need any experience at all.</image:caption>
