H: What are you doing when you have some down time.

M: I'm really into health. When I have down time I read alot about health and biohacking. Other sports I do are biking, climbing and running.

H: Tell us about your background:

M: I grew up in the countryside outside Västerås. Together with my two older brothers we spent more time outside playing then inside. I began to explore the outdoors as soon as I could walk. As a kid there was always an adventure to do. As a 2 year old my dad placed me in a pair of ski boots and after some runs I was stuck. Stuck in to the sport and the culture that came with it. Scouting has also been a big part of my life. Being a part of that has given me opportunities to explore different countries and cultures all over the world.

As soon as I finished highschool I packed my bag and moved north. Around that time I understood that exploring and sports are my things. I started trail running, fell in love with mountain biking and took my skiing from the slopes to the off piste.

H: What was your craziest adventure or experience so far.

M: The craziest adventure I have done was bikepacking with skies through the dolomites, 2023. A trip I have dreamed about for years.

H: What is your bucket list / dream trip.

M: I would love to go on a sail and ski trip. That would be a dreamtrip. And also cross the Atlantic and explore skiing in Canada and Alaska.

H: Why become a Haglöfs Ambassador.

M: Haglöfs has cool products, good sustainability thinking and thinks outside the box, three things that are crucial for me when choosing equipment. 

H: What´s your favorite Haglöfs gear.

M: Vassi GTX setup, the leftover storage bags and the LIM +3 sleeping bag.

H: Quote you live by.
