from ocean racing to the wild forest.

Between races on the oceans I have done some expeditions in eastern and southern Africa, crossing the Pyrenean Mountains with 4X4 trucks, organized an expedition in the eastern Russia Arctic region (Kola Peninsula) in collaboration with the Swedish Foreign Ministry in their capacity of the Chair of Barents Euro-Arctic Council. In 2003 I was one of the founders of the Swedish Expedition Society, SWES. Recently myself and my family came back to Sweden after a journy in the Sahara. Except the passion for Expeditions in remote (and sometimes hostile) regions, 4X4 trucks, Track Racing, Rally and Sailing, I'm working within the offshore shipping industry. In 2005 I took the initiative to the Trans Asia Expedition 2006-2007 (from South Korea to Sweden). I'm a member of the Swedish Expedition Society, SWES - which, I hope you'll apply for membership as well.

- I consider myself as a quite skilled and experienced 4X4 driver. During the years I have converted several 4X4 expedition trucks and I think I have grasped how to get around in one piece.
After been sailing the oceans I discovered the unspoiled world on land with 4X4 trucks, and found it extremely challenging. I tought from sailing to always manage my self - to be independent from support in all means. To transfer my sailing experience to expeditions on land showed me to be very useful.

- Nice to have you here.
