Old Home – Tales & Trails

Wide landscapes.
Small Groups.
Real connection.

Guided all-women’s hiking trips in Sweden, rooted in friluftsliv, shared experience, and a deeper connection to the land.

Adventure, Redefined

When we hear the word adventure, many of us picture something extreme.Big summits. Mandatory suffering. Hardcore outdoorsmen conquering nature, loaded with the latest survival gear.

That’s not what this is.

This is adventure in a broader sense of the word. Doing something exciting and slightly challenging. Stepping outside your usual role and comfort zone. Experiencing a different culture and getting to know a new landscape.

For some, the adventure is hiking in mountain terrain for the first time.For others, it’s traveling on their own and getting to know new people.For many mothers, it’s doing something just for themselves after years of putting everyone else first.

You don’t have to be fearless. You just need an open mind – and a desire to be one with nature.

Hi, I’m Linda!

I’m a Swedish-American writer, speaker, and author of There’s No Such Thing as Bad Weather and The Open-Air Life. I grew up in Sweden, spent 15 years living in the U.S., and eventually found my way back to a small house by the woods in Sweden.

I’ve dedicated the past decade of my life to writing and speaking about friluftsliv (“open-air life”) and helping people connect with nature. Not as an escape from real life, but as a way to live it more fully. Guiding hikes is a way to delve deeper into that work, by creating real-life experiences designed to restore, inspire and educate.

I was raised hiking, camping and skiing in the Nordic mountains and have guided people aged 0-79 years. I’m trained in wilderness first-aid and know this landscape like the back of my hand. Now, I want to share it with you.

What makes these trips different

Small, intimate groups

This isn’t a crowd following a flag. These are personalized adventures, with group sizes kept intentionally small to create space for conversation, quiet, and flexibility.

Many guests come solo

Most people arrive on their own. The shared experience in the outdoors creates a natural sense of ease and connection.

Adventure without performance

We adapt the pace to the ability of the group and stop when something catches our attention. There’s no pressure to be fast, strong, or impressive.

Simplicity with comfort

These hikes are combined with good food, warmth, and a proper bed at night, whether we sleep in a modern cabin or traditional hut. You get the depth of a mountain experience without having to carry your entire life on your back.
