The Power of Experiences

Create your own or join a unique mountain experience with Above The Clouds, the Trailfulness running club, Freelance Strategy Days, or a brand experience trip/event. 

Trailfulness Running Club

At the heart of the club’s excursions is 'Trailfulness'—a meditative approach to trail running that promotes a mindful, slower pace. This philosophy isn't just about covering distance; it’s about savoring each step.

Started out with skate- and snowboarding in the 90's.  

Worked at a skate- and snowboard shop called G-Spot in Stockholm.

This was a time when it was all about culture, culture, culture. This has shaped my perspective on communication, where authenticity, being distinct in culture, and the belief that nothing is impossible are key.

Lived in Malaysia working as a dive instructor and managed dive centers. 

I lived in Malaysia for a few years, around the year 2000, working as a specialty diving instructor and managing three dive centers on the Perhentian Islands, a Marine Protected Area with a lot of illegal fishing and a unique mix of biodiversity that needed protection, at some times in unorthodox ways. Later this experience turned out to be my inspiration for - The Ghost Net Project - at Tretorn 2016.
