Sweden is one of my go to countries for peace, relaxation and a true sense of wilderness. Thousands of Lakes, forests give you the sense of a remote landscape untouched by civilisation.

Lets face it. Life gets hectic in the UK. The daily grind of technology, the deadlines, and schedules. Concrete jungles simply gives me a feeling of isolation. Whenever I take groups out to Sweden I feel a sense of pureness, a relaxed body and mind. Water also has a way of calming people, allowing people to fully be present in the moment, no where to rush, just the lakes and rivers to explore. It's magical.
