Living in Sweden and being interested in photography will take you to some more picturesque and exotic places in the country.

A few years ago, some people I knew suggested that I would take them on a journey and show them some of nice places I knew and be like a guide for them. To check the general interest I posted an open invitation on my Instagram account encouraging anyone interested to join me. Despite my low expectations, the response was overwhelming, with inquiries pouring in from various countries.
