How did it go with my goals 2024?

Let´s follow up on my goals for 2024!

Development/courses

SVELAV Advanced avalanche rescue course – I did this one and it was so good! I learned a lot but I also remember it being very cold with -35 during the days. That was tough!

International Mountain Leader winter exam – I did this one too and passed and became the first female IML from Sweden together with Simona. Very happy & proud moment!

AMGA Alpine Guide Course – I got in to this course but decided to not do it. I needed a break after all other educations I´ve been doing the last years. Also they were going to change their system on this education so I wanted to do the new course instead.

NOLS Wilderness EMT – Did not do this one either. There was no time and I had no money for it. I do however hope to do it in the future. I would love to take this course!

Guiding & Work

Become the best guide I can be at my level – This is of course a work in progress. I feel that I´ve landed and become more calm and grounded in the role so that´s a good thing!

Guide fun adventures and tours – OH YES! Some of my favorite trips last year was Jotunheimen, Tour du Mont Blanc & Everest Basecamp. I choose what I want to guide myself and of course I go for things I feel are inspiring and fun!

Do fun social media & sponsor collabs – I did do some fun ones but this was also the year when I took a step in another direction. My collab with The North Face ended after 5 years and I just felt that I did not want to have sponsors for a while. I want to be free. That does not mean I won´t do collabs but I want to be free in my role as a guide and be able to work with everyone and try everything so I truly can recommend the best things.

Keep developing Mountain Guide Travel & Topo Travel – I spent a lot of energy & effort this year to do this and I feel like I´ve only started. Exciting things happening right now with Topo Travel.

10 000 Followers on Instagram & TikTok for Mountain Guide Travel – Last year I got resources to do more social media for MGT and we had like 5000 followers when I started with this a year ago. Now we have 27 000 followers on Instagram so I succeeded with this goal! We keep growing each day but not as fast as we did for a while. TikTok on the other hand have not been quite the success, only 1200 followers. I guess it´s because we are not so active on there. Even if we get 500-1000 views on each thing we post we don´t really interact and maybe the app think we are a bot? I have to work on that for next year!

Launch All Women trips for Mountain Guide Travel – YES I did! So proud over this. We did a ski touring trip to Lofoten with Kajsa Larsson. We had our first All Women Mountaineering Skills camp in Chamonix and tomorrow I go to South America to guide the first All Women Aconcagua expedition.

Start a podcast – I had meetings. Me & a partner made plans but I just did not have time for this. It´s still something I´m thinking about, how I can possibly fit this into my schedule & life in a good way…

Training

Do 100 000 vertical meters – I only did 70 000 that I logged. 52 000 with my GPS watch and the rest on my treadmill.

Climb 5+ with confidence – I did do a few 5+ climbs during the year and some of them was with confidence. Others not so much. This will be work in progress for next year.

10 Days of ice climbing – Did not happen. Maybe two? I will try again this year!

Be in better shape than 2023 – Yes I have to say that was the case. Even if it can always be better.

Not be injured – Managed to pull this one off except minor stuff

Personal

Roadtrip workcation trip with my husband – Yes we went to Italy for the spring and it was very nice.

Bike adventure with my friend Emma & my sister Sofia – Did not happen. New try this year?

Expedition with Lotta – We didn´t go to Nepal as planned. Or we went at different times but I will meet her in Chile in two days so it will happen soon!

Haute Route – Yes I did my first Haute Route, Silvretta and it was amazing!

Spa at least once with my husband – We went to Yasuragi in February so check

Summer vacation with my husband – We went to Bohuslän for 10 days

One new solo hike – I can´t remember this happened :/
