Birthday in Whitefish, Montana

Didn’t really know a lot about Whitefish, but the pics online of the place looked inviting, so thought a birthday trip there would be an excellent idea! And it was!

I think I mentioned before that have slight fear of bears! I have watched and read plenty of educational material on how to act if you encounter a bear. Unfortunately I think all my rationality would blow out of my brain and I’d either freeze or run LOL…

Didn’t help that the first thing I see at the Kalispell airport is bear spray for rent!

The airport is small and it’s the nicest airport I’ve been to. The rental car desk was downstairs and the lot with the car was a 3 min walk away. Very convenient not having to take some shuttle bus to a place to pick it up after flying…

Checked in to the Airbnb right in the city and went eating and checking the town out. It’s small, but pretty. Plenty of places to choose from when it comes to eating. Decided on this food truck park called Thirty Eight with live music. Crab bowl with no lame imitation crab and tacos. Couldn’t decide and was fomo-ing. Then ice-cream for dessert at Sweet Peaks, but it was more icy than creamy 🙁

Went to a store to pick up some stuff for the hike the following day. Had to pick some new flavors of Maeve chocolate I’d never tried. If you see this chocolate, buy and try it. It’s the best! They even had Swedish ginger bread cookies!!!

I had booked a group hike with Glacier Guides Montana Raft since I was too freaked out by the idea of hiking alone in bear woods! Meet up time was at 7am and since I need coffee first thing in the morning, I bought this strong ass instant coffee the night before at the store! 300mg of caffeine should do the trick, right? And apparently formulated for NASA in 2018, so I thought it would be good enough for me too LOL!

It was dark and lonely on the streets when I left at 6.20AM…

I met at their office with the group. Got our lunchpacks and jumped in their van for a 2h drive to the Glacier Park. The start was from a hotel, which I don’t remember the name of, but they had beautiful mountain and lake views. We had a short talk about bears with both guides carrying bear spray. Basically they said a bears thoughts were not “look, a human, let me eat it”… And they had never needed to use their bear sprays. OK, felt pretty relaxed after hearing that!

The hike was about 15km in total there and back from the glacier. The nature was impressive!

We finally reached the glacier with super clear water. Surprisingly you were allowed to swim in it. Pretty hot after the hike I took a quick dip. Needed to show the rest of the group what we Finn’s are made of! Cold, but so refreshing! After lunch in the sun and drying up.

This was an awesome hike! My joints were hurting pretty bad after, but so worth it! Outdoors gives you an appetite and dinner was at this cute little restaurant called Piggyback Barbecue. Probably some of the best ribs I’ve ever had!

Since it was my birthday weekend, I couldn’t drive by Clydesdale Creamery without having this sugar bomb! WOW, it was almost too much. But only almost! They also have a Clydesdale (giant horse breed) farm that you can visit and stay at. If I had more time I would’ve gone there too…

Soaked in the hot tub which was under a giant tree in the back yard of my Airbnb after, and it was a perfect ending to the day!

Saturday was my birthday! Happy birthday to me 🙂 Started by getting coffee at Folklore and enjoying it in front of the fireplace…

Dressed to impress!

More coffee in town and some shopping. I’m good at treating myself 🙂 Spotted these cute doggos on the town too…

Then went to the City beach. I’m like a kid when it comes to water. Had to get in and do another quick dip 🙂

Dinner was at the Whitefish Lake Golf Club at their restaurant. The smoked trout for starter went down faster than I could take a picture of it. The steak was great even though the presentation could’ve used some creativity 🙂 They gave me an ice-cream dessert with a sparkler 🙂

Since it was still light out I checked out the neighboring downtown of Columbia Falls. Not much there and definitely happy I chose to stay in Whitefish instead. Beautiful sunset by the river and thankfully no bears 🙂

Finished in the hottub again and it was definitely the highlight of my Airbnb with the fireplace and heated floors 🙂

My flight wasn’t until the afternoon on Sunday so started with caffeine at Folklore. Great coffee spot!

Then a short hike at Swift Creek Loop Trail. But first – Rent bear Spray! Convenient station where you could rent bear spray per day.

I think I can admit it was probably not the most enjoyable hike in my life. I was just on a constant lookout for bears hahahaa… Luckily there were people on the trail, so I hoped the bears would go for quantity! Needles to say, no bears. But so many other animals. Big woodpecker, what I think was a chipmunk, some hairy larva and only had time to catch a pic of the snakes tail. Snakes don’t bother me at all!

Stopped for a coffee on the way back to town at Crema which was excellent and just next to the parking lot this deer was grazing 🙂

Hungry again and went back to Thirty Eight because they had a BBQ truck from Texas there on Sundays. Baked potato with brisket and some huge rib, both smoked to perfection!

Could’ve easily spent a couple more days here. Can really recommend Whitefish if you enjoy nature, hikes, skiing in the winter and perfect little cute town with everything you need! And bears….

Still good to come back and hug Hunter. Angel’s friend looked after him and from the pictures she sent me, he lived like a king while I was gone 🙂 Only the best for Hunter!

What I planned to look like for my birthday… But that didn’t happen! Maybe next year when I turn 50 🙂

Lots of other stuff to tell you about, but it will have to wait until Sunday 🙂

Catch ya’ later!

The Padjelanta Trail Hike in Sweden

After a week in Sweden it was time to pack up for my annual hike with my sister. This is the 6th consecutive year we’ve went. This time we set out for the 160 km long Padjelanta Trail in the northern part of Sweden.

You feel every extra kilo in the backpack on your back! The weather forecast looked rainy so we both bought rain pants. Most of the huts sell food and snacks, but since you don’t know what or how much they’ll have, we brought food for every day.

We flew up to Gällivare early in the morning on a smaller propeller plane.

From there it was a 3h bus ride to Ritsem where you can start the trail from. Saw reindeer on the road and we had a pee break at a cool hotel on way. Had to take a pic of the stuffed bear since I have a slight bear phobia…

We spent the night at Ritsem since we arrived late. Most rooms have bunk beads and since I thought I might roll out of bed we made a barrier out of our slippers 🙂

There are 2 departures with a boat in the morning to shuttle you over to where the trail starts from. In very good spirits and ready to tackle the first 18km of the trail!

There was a small settlement where we started where the Sirkas Sámi have their summer stays. I loved this church ‘kåta’. ‘Kåta’, traditional Sámi housing back in the day.

After about an hour it started raining lightly. Then the wind picked up and it started raining even more. Luckily half-way to our first stop, there was a small shelter. We went inside to make some food, hot chocolate and put on long johns.

A Sámi guy also entered to have some shelter from the rain. He worked on the trails in the area during summer and otherwise hunts reindeer. He also happened to mention that there are bears in the area. I had a slight panic attack until he said that the bear will see us, but we’ll never see them. Puh!

Warm & full, we took on the last part of the trail. The weather switched between rain and no rain. Beautiful surroundings with a lot of waterfalls. Worth mentioning is that the water is so clean here, that you can always fill your water bottle up and have ice cold and fresh water. Yes, my rain poncho on top of my backpack makes me look something from the ‘The Hunchback of Notre Dame’ character!

Our first night we spent at the Kutjaure Mountain cabin. All the cabins have one or two wardens that supervise the cabins. Everyone is asked to help bring in water in buckets, empty waste water buckets after doing dishes, chop up and bring in logs for the fireplace and clean up. The cabins have no running water or electricity. They have gas though so you can heat up water/food and pots, pans, plates, glasses and utensils to eat and cook your food from. Here is dinner with the fireplace going and us having our coffee the next morning before heading out.

2nd day was 19km. A bit of rain and most of the day was cloudy. We met a German lady who had taken a break and offered us some coffee. Most of the people you meet on the trail and in the huts are super friendly! Saw some reindeer too 🙂

2nd night was spent at Låddejåkka cabin. Dinner was a super tasty Bison Chili and a Blueberry Peach Crisp for dessert 🙂

The 3rd day was one of our longer days and it was 25k. We skipped one of the huts and it made the hike longer. The trail was pretty even and easy even though it started with a 4k long uphill climb. A lot of heavy fog when we reached the top, but so quiet and peaceful!

Since there was no rain we had some porridge with dried raspberries, coconut flakes and goji berries for lunch. Some chocolate chip cookies too for some sugar to help with the remaining kilometers 🙂

The 3rd night was spent at Staloluokta cabin. This was the only place along the trail that had a sauna. Us being Finns obviously we got very excited! I can’t describe how good and rewarding it felt after the long day! And to wash off properly too! 2 thumbs up for Staloluokta and their sauna!

Since we both prefer to eat outdoors, we always start our mornings with just black coffee. Then hike and find a good spot for breakfast. It’s a good thing we are so alike – wake up early, fine with starting the day with just coffee and pretty much keep the same speed on the trails.

The 4th day was an 18 km day. Very beautiful scenery and so green everywhere.

Found a nice spot by a waterfall to eat and rest. Right after we packed up we spotted a small group of reindeer. They say that if you spot a white reindeer, it brings you luck!

Most of the days so far had been cloudy and rainy. This afternoon we finally got some sunshine! Had to sit down and just enjoy the warmth. Probably our legs needed a break too 😉 See, the reindeer brought some luck right away 🙂

When we almost were finished, we come to this wide river. No way around, but through. Soaking wet feet, socks and shoes ! And 10 minutes later there was another river crossing just as wide, so we arrived with clean feet at Tuottar cabins 🙂

Here they had about 6 smaller cabins with 3 bunk beds in each. We shared our cabin with a solo hiker from Catalan. The water was down at the river where we just came from and kind of far. The guy was a gentleman and told us to chill and he’d walk down and fill the water buckets so we didn’t have to 🙂 Instead we went to see what the store had to offer. My sister got very happy to find that they had beer. Even though it cost like 3 times more than in the store 🙂 Oh, and there was a rainbow so more luck to us hopefully!

5th day was a 26km day again since we skipped a cabin and walked to the next one. Started with decent weather. A little pit stop by a river…

Right after we had to cross that river. Soaked again… I think from this point on, our shoes and socks never completely dried up for the rest of the trip!

Since my hiking shoes are made of leather they don’t let out the water. After each river crossing I had to stop and empty the water out of them and wring out my socks.

We were pretty exhausted by the end of this day. It rained on and off and the final stretch was downhill and the trail was wet, muddy and slippery. We had made reservations before for all of the cabins. They say you have to arrive before 6pm to be guaranteed to get your room. Otherwise it might be given to someone else without a reservation, since you might not show up. We got a bit stressed at the end of the hike since we didn’t arrive until 6.45pm. Our longest day so far. But we were lucky and got our own room at Såmmarlappa Mountain cabin 🙂

Our 6th day was a 19km stretch. It got more woodsy as we were on lower elevation. That also meant that the trail was even more wet, big pools of water and a lot of mud you tried to step around. Also the weather cooled down. Around 5°C in the morning and you could see some fresh snow on the mountain tops.

We could feel the kilometers in our legs by now and felt good when we finally arrived at the Njunjes Mountain cabin. All the cabins have a fire place, or a heater, in the common room, and in your room so you can dry stuff up. All my crusty socks went up 🙂

Last day was an easy 13km stretch which felt good. You mostly hiked in the woods. We both prefer the higher grounds with open landscape and where you get the views for miles.

Then you have to get on a boat to get a ride to the last mountain station which is Kvikkjokk.

Since there is only one bus which leaves 05.25am daily from Kvikkjokk, we had to spend the night there. Treated ourselves to a delicious 3 course dinner at their restaurant. My starter was smoked elk, fermented reindeer and first time trying reindeer tongue. I wasn’t going to eat that, but the waiter said it’s the best, so gave it a try and it tasted pretty damn good! Dinner was reindeer steak and for dessert we had vanilla ice cream with cloudberries. Cloudberries only grow up here in the north and are called ‘the gold of the forest’. If you ever get a chance to try them, do it! Soooo good!!!

Next morning we took the early bus for about 5h to reach Luleå where we caught a flight back to Stockholm.

What a hike! We both agreed that this was our hardest and most strenuous hike we’ve been on so far. The rainy weather played a huge part since we made fewer stops along the trail. We learned that we need to study the map before-hand if there are a lot of climbs and downhill parts before we decide to just skip a hut. This hike was recommended to be done in 9-10 days and we did it in 7. Even though it was hard at times, it was beautiful and me and my sister always have the best time together. It feels great that we pulled it off and tested our limits. Can’t wait to see what we plan for next year! Thanks for this year’s adventure sis!

More of my time in Sweden coming hopefully on Sunday. Giving jetlag and my sugar cravings a fight now hahahaa…

All the best,

Austin, Phish, Hugging Pavement…

Had a great trip to Austin! I’ve been there a long time ago for work and didn’t really get to see much of the city. I really enjoyed it even though the city felt like a Finnish sauna at times 🙂

Short flight and checked into Carpenter Hotel. Cute hotel…

One of the good things about the hotel was that it had a great coffee shop downstairs! My day doesn’t take off without having a coffee first! Met this cute dog there too…

I have a couple that I’ve known for a long time that moved there about 4 months ago. Nothing better than knowing locals who already tried out spots and then just guide you around to the best places. We went around on those electric scooters and I love how much water and greenery there is in town…

Being in Texas meant that there were a lot of cowboy boot stores. We stopped at Allens Boots that has been around almost 50 years. Obviously had to get a pair and roll like a local 🙂

I’ll show you the pair I got shortly 🙂 It’s always a plus when the place you visit has an abundance of great coffee places. One of the places is Maaribu Cafe + Gift. Great coffee, cute little gift shop inside and we enjoyed our coffees in their quiet backyard…

You can’t go to Texas without having BBQ. Terry Black’s Barbecue hit the spot! Delicious meats! Ate like an elephant! I just assume they eat more than a horse…

A quick stop at the hotel to grab my bikini and we went to Barton Springs Pool. The water comes from Barton Springs and it’s super refreshing in the heat. Packed with people though…

There was this tree in the park outside and someone said it’s called the Monkey Tree and people do acid under it. Hmm, might have to check if that’s true next time 🙂

Had to try the hotel pool too to cool down after getting back. Wish I could’ve spent more time there because it was very relaxing later on the day when there was not that many people there.

I think I looked pretty damn cool in my bikini matching it with my new boots!

A quick shower and then it was time for the main event of the trip – the Phish concert! Made a pit stop at the Cosmic Bar on the way.

We were right by the concert riding our electric scooters when my hat is blowing off. Don’t think go to grab it with one hand. Get off balance, wobble and crash right in to the pavement! Felt like it went in slow motion and though I must be bleeding all over my face, Was bleeding by my right eye and thought the scar from the eye surgery had ripped open. My friends checked me and no bigger damages than some scratches. Lesson learned, both hands on the handlebar 🙂

No time to waste, so cleaned up in the bathroom, popped some mushrooms and Phish started! They went off and it was magical! People were ecstatic and it was intense at times. So good though!!! My friend has been to over 100 of their concerts. I saw them in Vegas like 6 years ago on psychedelics, and it was awesome then too!

I finally got to get a ride in a Waymo when heading back to the hotel! Very cool! But why waste space on a drivers seat when they’re self driving???

Got a burger and a chocolate milkshake from P. Terry’s right outside the hotel too 🙂 Got a bit hungry 🙂

At 1.30am Hunter’s sitter calls and says Hunter has had a little accident. Immediately thinking he’s been run over by a car. Yup, I can be a bit dramatic at times… Turns out he had jumped on the kitchen counter and got one of the fly traps stuck on his fur. Running around in panic so it got stuck more. Luckily the sitter is very cool and was able to clean him up good and all was good! But went on Amazon and order fur cleaning products to be delivered the next day just in case… A bit intense when coming off the mushrooms, but was finally able to sleep hahhaaa…

A bit bruised up the next morning from my attempt to hug the pavement…

After a coffee at the hotel, the next stop was Merit Coffee. Sooo goood!

Then Brown’s Bar-B-que for lunch. It was a food truck and didn’t disappoint!

Cross the street was this cool looking gift shop so had to check it out. The coolest thing in there was the store cat 🙂

There can never be too much caffeine, so also tried Proud Mary Coffee. Merit was the best coffee spot that I tried if I had to rate them!

A little stop on the way to check out a trail. Realized after 11 minutes it was way too hot to attempt even a lazy stroll…

I had to keep eating and TexMex food is another undoubtedly great option here. Veracruz had an incredible Mezcalita and probably the best chicken quesadillas I ever had!

My friends have a little toddler so we checked out some ducks and turtles in the next door park. It’s fascinating how many parks they have in town!

Something that hit me while visiting was that people are very friendly everywhere. You can walk, scooter and bike, (and some hardcore folks were even running in the middle of the day) everywhere. They really seem to make an effort in decorating and making places nice with cool designs. The Uber driver that took me to the airport said that they even support street art/graffiti if it’s nicely done. I’m pretty sure I will go back to Austin 🙂 I mean, I got my cool ass boots now!

Got home and Hunter had survived his fly trap trauma. Now lying next to me like the good semi-little boy that he is 🙂

Plan to start yoga next week. Can also start lifting weights now after the eye surgery. Not sure my shoulder will be in shape for that though. Seeing Tony next week too so really hope he can fix it because then he goes on a 1 month long vacation 🙁 Other than that I will be shooting, got friends coming into town, Angel is back in town, and 4th of July is coming up… You got plans?

Oh, I got so into the BBQ that I want to get a smoker. Anyone here a big BBQ’er that can give any tips on one?

Wishing you a superb upcoming week and Happy 4th!!!

Back from Prague

That was one busy and fun filled trip! Jetlag is in full-force, but at least the eyes are healing up nicely. Oh, and I’m trying to detox from sugar, because there was waaay too much chocolate, bakery stuff, bread and snacks! Too hard!

Anyways, here comes some pics. Sunday walk with Archie who came by to visit. The neighborhood where we stayed was so green and we saw chickens, sheep and horses on our walk in the neighborhood…

First time trying LPG over there. You put on a bodystocking and this machine sucks your skin in and massages you at the same time. Good for the circulation and a bunch of other stuff…

.We were always running around town and there wasn’t always time to go to a restaurant and sit down, so that was solved by eating in the car. The food there is just incredible!

One of the days we had a meeting with a producer that Angel knows. He is working on an interesting thing that we will hopefully be a part of 🙂 The meeting was at Cafe Savoy. It was established in 1893 and has a lot of history. One thing we learned is that when they renovated it in 2001, they found the original ceilings underneath, that had been covered up during WWII to hide it from the Germans. Very beautiful place and definitely worth a visit!

We walked in Old Town after. The weather ranged from cold, hot, to a full on storm… The architecture there is beautiful and so many cool buildings. Threw in some sculpture-humping while exploring, because why just take a photo of it?

I think somewhere here we had our 2 days of shooting. Unfortunately we were not allowed to take any pics on set. We were told they will share some pics later and I really hope so! We never shot anything like this! It was very funny and everyone was great on set. Can’t wait to show you!

We had our trip to Olomouc to see the surgeon before the surgery. Beautiful town. We had some time to walk around and went inside this big church. I usually try to visit a church in new places and light candles for family and friends who have passed away…

Before the surgery I did another full day in town and it was nice with the sun out this time 🙂 Very walkable city and I hit a couple of coffee spots on list. Coffee and Riot, good coffee and tasty sandwich. Then Dabov Specialty Coffee. They have won a lot of roasting awards and had a big selection of various coffees. The owner was also very passionate and knowledgable about coffee and I tried a super good pour over.

This tower is the Zizkov Television tower. Almost visible all over town. I now noticed they had these little baby sculptures climbing it. Similar to the one me & Angel were ‘posing’ with earlier…

The kids hit the playground one day and of course there was a full bar and cafe there too. Reminds me of Mexico where there’s always food where there’s people. And what amazed me was that every table also had an ashtray. Very 70’s to be able to smoke pretty much anywhere. Even next to the playground LOL… And the food they offered is not the usual fast food crap or ready made sandwiches in plastic. We had some fresh cheese and ”škvarková pomazánka’. It’s a spread made of ground pork cracklings mixed with lard and finely chopped onion. Sooooo good!

So the kids play and parents can have a drink and some food. Some parents where playing volleyball and took beer breaks in the between to hydrate hahahaa… Also saw this man and had to ask for a picture of his pretty awesome t-shirt!

I’m not big on household chores so it obviously had to be documented when I did some cleaning. Want to make sure I get invited back 😉 Hard work so had to switch to shorts too…

I then had my surgery and after 3 days after my eyes were well enough to venture out again. La Bohemia was another great coffee place.

Hit a park and of course there was another fabulous restaurant called Jurecek there, so more food it was!

Went out for lunch at an amazing Brazilian steakhouse that was in a cellar in old town. The pistachio crusted ice-cream with chocolate sauce for dessert was just WOW! You can probably guess that I never went hungry while here…

Had to walk some of the food off after and we hit a gallery that was showcasing work by Salvador Dali, Andy Warhol and one of Czechs most famous photographers named Jan Saudek. His images were amazing and that some of them were from back around 1920’s is mind blowing. Read that he used to paint on his photos to create some of the effects. He is still alive and is 90 years old. If you are into art/photography, definitely check him out!

Also had a day of shopping with Angel and her mom in town. What I though was going to be like a 4 hour day, was a full 12 hour day! Mommy took shopping to another level hahahaa… Of course there were breaks for caffeine, sugar and a sandwich to keep up with her!

Oh, I spotted these 2 books for kids in Czech named ‘KUK’, You have to google what that means in Swedish hahhaaa… Sorry for my simple humor!

Some leftovers. The top ones are from the beautiful train station in Prague. Last pictures of Angel buying more Milka chocolates so we could keep our sugar levels peaking!

It was then time for me to check out, I had an invoice for my ‘room service’ provided by Angels nephew LOL. Angel asked the Uber driver to unload my bags at the airport since I’m not supposed to lift heavy. Well, this Uber driver took it to another level and escorted me all the way to the check in counter!

I decided at the airport to not buy any sweets for my flights. Time to start detoxing from sugar. Well, that lasted for an hour before I ordered candy on the plane. The flight attendant asked which one I wanted and I answered – BOTH!

Guess who was hapy to see me and me him? He of course had to be spoiled with a treat as soon as I put my bags down!

Can’t thank Angel and her family enough for the great time over there! Showing me the sights, helping me with my surgery and recovery, feeding me and just being the best!

How have you been? What did I miss?

Kisses, Puma

Puerto Escondido

Puerto Escondido was way better than I had expected. Such a chill and relaxed place. I guess it wasn’t always as people used to party there a lot, being loud, and staying up late. But they have changed the rules and most places now close at 11. Suited me just fine 🙂

It was also a lot hotter than I expected. First thing after checking in was jumping in my private plunge pool and cooling off 🙂

I stayed at Villa Lunaya by Zicatela beach. Someone had written in the reviews that they spent most of the time in the plunge pool. I did the same. It was the best part of staying there 🙂 But the place is really great and I’d stay there on my next trip as well. Only 4 rooms and nice design. Oh, and they have AC!!!

The location is great too. It’s on a quiet side street, but the beach is around the corner. Literally 2 mins away 🙂 So after cooling off in the pool I headed to the beach and watched the surfers in the sunset.

Decided to get sushi for dinner at Sommo. Charming place, but unfortunately the sashimi was expensive with not a lot of flavor. The seaweed salad and some special with truffle and foie gras was great though.

I was still hungry after and found these two guys flipping burgers on the street. My type of dinner and the burger was delicious.

Sometimes (a lot of times) I’m a bit restless. Or if I don’t burn off some of my energy I get antsy… What’s better than a barefoot walk on the beach?

And after that, guess what? COFFEE! As if the location couldn’t get any better, there is an awesome coffee/breakfast place just around the corner as well – Ojitos Abiertos. I was there every morning 🙂

Checked out the town after. Mostly one main street with shops, restaurants, and cafes.

There was a lot to choose from when it came to eating. There is this popular and tasty fish shack tucked away in an alley. You sweated your ass off, but the food was worth it!

Another great spot was a place right next to the cafe – La casa del surfer. Freshly caught fish for the huge fish tacos! Go early because they sell out of the fish later…

Everyone recommended the Thai restaurant called Lychee. I love Thai food and the food here tasted pretty authentic. And I spotted this beautiful red cat there that reminded me of Hunter. He was not so interested in me though 🙁

No trip is complete without some work! I found a local photographer on Instagram and we booked a shoot. Even though we were out at 8am, my makeup was melting off faster than you can say caliente! I’m waiting for the final pictures. Touched up so I look non-sweaty and flawless like a true IG model 😉 Here’s some BTS pics though…

I had a feeling after that I might have a UTI. Since I had booked a tour for the next day, I didn’t want to risk not being able to go so I decided to call a doctor over. I love how simple doctors visits are over here. I just WhatsApp’ed him, filled out a form and questionnaire and an hour later he was over. Turns out it false alarm, but better safe than sorry 🙂

So next day it was time to check out some crocodiles. Had a private tour guide and we drove about 1.5h south. He told me this place is run by the neighborhood community here.

I try to be aware of places with animals and make sure they’re not in cages or used for performing tricks etc. Since they had these deers in an enclosure I asked why. He told me that they used to hunt and eat them (and turtles) and they almost became extinct. They now realized that they can’t continue like this and these are ‘preserved’ and bred so they can have more of them in the wild in the future…

On the way to the boats there were a few stands that advertised magic mushrooms, mezcal with Peyote, and other fun stuff. Had to check it out and I asked how it was possible for them to just sell it like this in the open. If I understood him right, it’s legal there. I bought a mezcal with a magic shroom in it 🙂

After sweating so much on the tour I said we have to go to the beach next. I was dropped off at Zipolite Beach. After looking around a bit and deciding where I wanted to plant myself down, I spot a group of naked guys. I asked the guide if this was the nude beach all excited.

-“Didn’t you say you wanted to come here” he asked confused.

– “Siii”! I just though he would’ve said something, but whatever, I was happy! He left me there and said he’ll be back in 2 hours to collect me 🙂

Apparently this is the only fully legal nudist beach in all of Mexico.

Afterwards he took me to the little hippie town Mazunte. Wow, what a cool place. Even more chill than Zicatela. I would like to stay here a couple of days next time too.

Another beach I saw while we were out… I guess there was not that many people on this beach so the lifeguard had time to do some fishing too 🙂

Great day. Finished it up with dinner at this restaurant SHA with Oaxacan food. Ate here twice and my favorite dish was the seafood tlayudita. It’s something local, but damn how tasty!!!

Some more pics of whatever else that caught my eye. This little local cat family for example 🙂

The flight back to Mexico City was at 10:30pm. Luckily I was able to pay for a check-out at 6pm so I spent the day in the plunge pool and on the beach…

Last dinner before heading back to the airport at Atarraya. Very nice place and the spicy pineapple mezcal drink was muy bueno! Had to have 2 🙂

And before I say bye I want to give recommendation for all the fellow travellers out there. I travelled with only a carry on. I have had this bag for about 7 years and it has travelled the world with me and it is still in perfect condition. There are so many pockets and compartments so everything stays organised. I’m not getting paid for this, but truly just love this bag for travel and want to recommend it 🙂 (www.ebags.com)

Flight home was delayed an hour, but the flight between Puerto Escondido to CDMX is only an hour and 15 min so no stress… Really great vacation and I’m pretty sure I will visit again 🙂

Work, Party, Veins…

I feel like I got a lot of good work done these 2 weeks. I’m still working on this site, but a little stuck right now. Shot some Psychonaut Explorer stuff. Recruited the beautiful Elisa to model too 🙂

Trying to cut out my own text from these rhinestone sheets. Not the smoothest thing, but I like the result…

And then showed off my modeling skills. Hello America’s Next Top model…

And then the stuff that’s been making (most) people happy since 19XX …

I was invited to a party called Bresh on Friday with Dyana. Can’t believe I used to party and after party until the next day. Now I was happy eating tacos at 3am before going to sleep not being totally f*cked up . I think it’s called getting old 🙁

Also feels good to be back at the gym. I didn’t work out while in LA, and then I was kind of sick for a week after. Damn it’s hard to get started again… ugh!

And not to forget Hunter S Thompson. I call him King of the Castle and he pretty much gets whatever he wants 🙂

Since he was living in the woods before I got him, I think he might of hurt his back legs at some point. He kind of just leaves them ‘hanging’ and the just plays with the front legs. Sometimes I also suspect he just might be a little lazy…

I found an awesome doctor here in Mexico City. He treats my shallow spider-veins on the legs with laser and injections. Tiny bit painful, but as we say in Swedish – vill man vara får man lida pin!

Other than this stuff I got a hair treatment, chilled in the park, and enjoyed some morning coffee in bed 🙂

Tonight I’m going to see the new John Wick movie. Also looking to plan a trip to Puerto Escondido. Everyone here says it is beautiful there and I miss the beach! And if anyone here has done overnight and multi day hiking in Switzerland, Slovakia, Norway or Finland, hit me up with recommendations please 🙂

Now, go on and have a great day!

SF pics & back to CDMX

Here are some pics from the trip to San Francisco. First day it was so foggy you could barely see the top of the tall buildings.

Outside the Mexican Consulate. I think this was the 2nd day when the visa was approved because I look so happy 🙂

One of my favorite things in SF is all the amazing coffee places! Before I left I marked all the shops I wanted to get coffee from on Google Maps. One of my favorites in flavor and location – Andytown Coffee Roasters. They have this rooftop park with a walkway outside that was awesome!

My absolute favorite is Wrecking Ball Coffee Roasters. WOW! So good and brought a couple of bags of coffee beans back with me to Mexico.

Other great coffee spots I visited were Home Coffee Roasters, Radiator Coffee Salon, and Red Rock Coffee Company in Mountain View. I used to live in Mountain View and stayed with a friend there on this visit, so it was great to go back to Red Rock every morning 🙂

There was this great specialty market that had pretty much all of my favorite coffee roasters. I love Verve, Chromatic, Ritual, Equator and Four Barrel. Had to buy a couple of more bags from there too 🙂 I was pretty over-caffeinated by the end of my trip hahahaaaa…

It was so much fun walking around in San Francisco again. I love the colorful Haight – Ashbury area.

I love lobster rolls and ate that twice. One of my favorite foods!

Great to see Patricia again and catch up with her. Patricia is the human.

More random pics from SF. Oh, and I love my Russian style hat that I wore everywhere. SF was sunny but cold!

It felt good to return to Mexico. Needed to get my butt back into gym and it feels so good!

Content has been produced and hopefully made people happy 🙂

Worked on Pussitive…

I have a busy and fun week ahead. A little overnight getaway on Wednesday, crossfitting, shooting and got some clothing samples to hopefully approve for production 🙂 Oh, and a visit to an orthopedic too because one foot has been hurting for a while and not getting better.

Let’s rock, Puma

Mexico!

Wow, wow, wow, very impressed with Mexico City. Been here just over a week and I’ve only explored about 5% of the areas, restaurants, cafes etc. Every day I mark a new location in my Google maps to see.

The food is amazing! Haven’t had a bad meal here, and I’ve ate things such as street tacos, high-end restaurants, hamburgers, steaks , Thai food, and sushi.

I have about 200 pics of food, but I’ll spare you of those. Just a couple of favorites 🙂

Oh, they suggest grasshoppers on the guacamole here. Not bad when they’re ground up like this…

After reading about grasshoppers and how healthy they are, I bought some from a guy on the street. Only thing was that these were the whole grasshopper in one piece! Didn’t stop me from having them on my eggs in the morning 🙂 Only dared to put on a few though hahahaaa…

I didn’t expect the city to have so many parks and nice walkways. Very enjoyable to walk around and there’s a lot of walking going on!

There’s a lot of dogs here! I love it! Puerto Rico is full of cats, but here everyone has a dog. And they’re welcome in almost everywhere. My favorite dog is Rocco at the CrossFit gym I joined. He just can’t get enough attention. He is very much like me LOL…

And coffee! Endless great coffee places. I have a few favorites and there still are great places I haven’t tried…

And in the between all the exploring I throw down some smut!

Just so many cool places you find when walking around. My favorite way to discover a new city is to walk the streets. Not many people here speak English. I make myself understood with Spanglish and thank heavens for Google translate hahahaaa! Will start my Spanish lessons when my friend from Colombia gets here next week.

Talking about friends, there’s a bunch of them here now and I didn’t even now they were coming. A couple from US/Russia and friends from Puerto Rico arrived the other day. 2 more join us from US/Colombia next week too! Part of the group went to Pujol to try their tasting menu yesterday. It’s supposed to be one of the best restaurants here. We were not that impressed though, even if it was very good. We had to grab food after because we were not full.

That’s it for now. Busy week ahead and more exploring to do, but will try to update again next weekend 🙂

All the best to you!
