#throwback – May 3, 2024<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a wonderful night\u2019s sleep in Copenhagen, and a walk through the city\u2019s new harbor district, I catch the train to Malm\u00f6. A short 40-minute ride. And just like that\u2014I\u2019ve arrived in Sweden! A country I\u2019ve never been to and know very little about. It feels like this is where the real journey begins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the morning, I plan one last city walk, this time through Malm\u00f6<\/a>. Another place well worth exploring. One of its most iconic sights is the Turning Torso, a twisting skyscraper in the V\u00e4stra Hamnen district, right on the Swedish side of the \u00d6resund, directly across from Copenhagen. My walk takes me around the tower from all different angles. Once again, the weather is beautiful, and the solar panels on my Wheelie are charging perfectly. After visiting the St. Petri cathedral, I feel like I\u2019ve had enough of the city. It\u2019s nearly 4 p.m.\u2014time to head for nature. Two days of urban life is a bit much for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, I have to make it through a painfully long stretch of industrial area\u2014not exactly inspiring\u2014but once I reach the coastline and begin heading north, everything changes. For the first time, I\u2019ll be wild camping in Sweden. I\u2019ve been looking forward to this moment for so long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Sweden, you\u2019re allowed to camp pretty much anywhere, as long as you stay at least 150 meters from houses, take all your trash with you (obviously), and don\u2019t harm any plants or disturb animals. And I have to say\u2014people seem to respect that. I haven\u2019t seen litter anywhere. And eventually, I find the perfect spot. I cook my first one-pot meal in my lightweight frying pan, and it tastes amazing. Then I pitch my tent and sit back to enjoy a stunning sunset, surrounded by curious little rabbits hopping around. This is exactly what I dreamed of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
