Johanna skied to the South Pole and used a kite and skies to get back to the coastline again. Visit her homepage here.

 

Robin Trygg won because of his second Everest summit, this time from the Tibet side of the mountain. View his homepage here.

 

I wanted to win and was thinking that with my creative Central America project and also becoming the first Scandinavian person to complete America’s top 10 summits I would potentially look forward towards receiving my second Adventurer of the year award. But the jury voted for Robin Trygg. There were many that would be in my eyes worthy winners of the award this year. I am looking forward to try and win this award some other year again  when Im going to contribute to lift up the standard of swedish outdoor adventure.

 

It was also great to participate and meet some of the other nominated adventurers.

Some of the outdoor people I got to meet last weekend: Marcus Aspsjö, Jonathan Ljungqvist, Mats Andren, Sören Källqvist and Daniel Roxvret.

 

I want to thank everyone that took their time to vote on me. I appreciate everyone of you. Also I want to highlight the effort of my employer PostNord did to help me win this year, it means alot. My belief is that I will win again because I have decided that in the years to come I will push Swedish adventure to new levels.
