What is your first memory in nature?
I was 11 years old and remember spending my first night out camping with a friend on an island in the Stockholm Archipelago. The set-up of the camp, the making of the fire, the cooking of the sausages, the freedom of being alone in nature for the first time through the night was amazing.

I joined Fjällräven to be part of the journey that this brand is on. The ability to inspire people around the world to spend more time in nature and to do so with functional, timeless, long-lasting gear is more important than ever!
