It's all going to Change

For the last 6 months I have chosen to live a somewhat normal life, living in Sweden with my family. Over the next half year, I will look back at sleeping in beds and regular showers, because I will have a life on the road.

The purpose of the trip is to climb, but with the option to do anything and everything. Throughout the past couple of months I have tried to explain what I will be doing on this trip to friends and family, and the usual reaction is excitement and confusion. Many seem to crave for an adventure experience like this, and many look back fondly on their own adventures, whether they be backpacking through Europe, moving to a foreign country, or repossessing boats in the Caribbean. While we all have obligations and commitments in life, I would like to say that anyone can live like this. I hope that the next couple of months of this blog can show that it is possible to live your dreams. I feel extremely fortunate to have the opportunity to undergo an adventure such as this, and I thank my upbringing for allowing me to believe that I could do this.

While the adventure seems glamorous and exciting, I know that there will be times when it is not. I know that we will struggle and suffer, but it will not be fun without pain. It will take time to grow into the routine of not having a routine. The journey is about to begin, and I encourage everyone to join me, whether it be on the internet or coming by a campground for a visit and some cragging.

The rig: Chevy S10 Longbed Pickup

The truck is starting to get full. The climbing will not be as hard as living out of the back of this truck.
