My name is Stephan Szöllös, born and raised in Sweden. My passion for the outdoors began well over 20 years ago, initially with rock climbing which gradually evolved and now also includes ultralight backpacking and ski touring. Why these pursuits? Well, to keep it simple, they make me happy.
If you want to go deeper, the next question could be "why do they make me happy"? Moving through and with nature puts me in a distraction-free, close connection to myself as a human being. It is where I feel most alive. The feeling of doing one thing, and being totally immersed in that one thing, is what I can access by these experiences.
My reason for creating this website is to inspire other people to "get out there". There as so many benefits connecting with nature, and I will get deeper into those reasons in later posts. Suffice to say for now, I wholeheartedly believe that many of our illnesses, both physical and mental, can be drastically reduced by being and engaging with nature.
