hello and welcome!

My name is Rania

I live in a small northern town of Sweden where I work as a freelancing photographer, visual communicator & photography educator. I strive to live slow, sustainably and intentionally and in this blog I will share my life from outdoor adventures and photography tips to traveling and foraging & using wild food.

May also contain traces of coffee and cats.

What an absolutely amazing summer we've had! It's What an absolutely amazing summer we've had! It's felt slow and free, and a lot of it is definitely due to our bikes 🚲✨ 

// This is a sponsored collab with @sportproffsen.se 

It's been lovely to just hop on them and head to the local burger shack, into town for a pub evening or to our friends for pizza and game nights.

We've also explored the surrounding area, and been out for a whole day on a 70k ride through farm fields, along rivers and in forests.

Summer spent on a bike is like being a kid again. I love the feeling of care free adventure and the ease of which we can turn into a small path to see what's there or stop at the side of the road whenever we see something pretty - or a booth to buy local honey!

Thank you @sportproffsen.se and @fitnordbikesandoutdoors ! 🙏🏽

Butterflies and moths are such magical beings 🦋 Th Butterflies and moths are such magical beings 🦋 Their caterpillar form often looks nothing like their evolution (yes I grew up with Pokémon). What happens inside of their chrysalis is spectacular:

Most of their body transforms into liquid soup (yup!) but parts of the central nervous system survive, and learned memories carry over into the adult butterfly. 

Like, how wild is that?! They turn into goop, transform into something so beautiful, with completely different colors BUT some of their memories carry over?

If that is not pure magic then I don't know what is.

Biking through lush forests and past sparkling lak Biking through lush forests and past sparkling lakes, bathed in golden light, together with my partner - that's been this entire summer vacation ☀️ I'm showing him my favorite spots, and we're exploring new ones! Now that we both have an eMTB we can go Anywhere, and that's freedom!
