I know it’s been months, but I couldn’t not write about my second trip to Smith Rocks. I’ve been there before, in case you want to read about it. This time the trip consisted of a crew of peeps, including Allen from last time and the...

I have to be honest – before this trip I felt close-to-zero desire to ever go to Scandinavia. But, now I am a true believer! Hello, my name is Kristina and I am in love with Sweden! Seriously, I could (and would!) move there! We arrived by the skin of our teeth...
