Being a parent is demanding. Navigating parenthood is a fine art and continuous juggling act that will never end. That’s the privilege we have raising children.

101 Bucket List Ideas to Try Before you Die

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.

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.
