1st week of the year…

Did you start with a bang? I started hungover as f*ck and kind of felt disappointed at myself and wondering why I pretty much always overdo my celebrations. I somehow almost always feel that I could do juuust a liiittle more partying, peak a little higher and never feeling like I had enough. Well, I paid the price and was pretty immobile all of last Sunday.

I picked up my pace on Monday. I’ve been trying to get a Facebook account for Psychonaut Explorer and launch the shop function for FB & IG, and link them to my Shopify website. Easier said than done. So far it’s been countless emails to support, frustration, sometimes making small progress to then be stuck again. But I’m on it and my goal is to have it all running by the end of this month! Fingers, toes and body-parts crossed!

I met a new friend here. She saw my Psychonaut jackets and I’m making her a custom jacket. It will be so cool. Just some snippets of us trying patches on and positioning them…

I also got a new Spanish teacher so no mas Spanglish hahahaaa… Very nice guy from Colombia and I’m excited to improve my Spanish and hopefully be pretty fluent one day. That would mean I’m fluent in 4 languages. How many languages do you speak? I wish I knew Chinese. That would be badass!

Other than that I’ve been shooting…

Hit the gym too but then got a bit of flu or something and felt lethargic for a couple of days. Good thing there are great books and Hunter that never says no to keeping me company 🙂

My friend Dyana had a small get-together at her hair salon. I love when you meet new and interesting people. One hot chick owns a huge avocado farm. One was the head of cancer-treatments at a hospital. And I’m actually holding a virgin cocktail in this pic and proud that I’ve been smoke free for a week now! Wohoooo….

Now sitting at a cafe and later I’m doing some yoga at a friends house. I always forget to mention books that I’ve read and recommend. Will try to post a separate post about it this week. I’m always grateful if you have great reads to recommend and send them my way 🙂 Leave you with this pic of me exploring some super cool stuff in the VR!

Adiós y hasta luego!

2022 –> 2023

Sooo, we are almost done with this year. How was your 2022? Any plans or goals for 2023? What was the best thing that happened or that you did this year?

For me a couple of the most memorable things this year were my 2 hikes with my sister in Sweden. Not much beats being outdoors.

Adopting Hunter S Thompson. These pics are from this morning. He just loves getting as close as he can to my face 🙂

The Changa ceremony. I never experienced anything like it and it truly was mind altering.

I always love my trips to LA and seeing my wifey Sandy & her family. I feel like I’m part of their family 🙂 And I loved seeing more of Italy this summer… (and drinking their wine).

Also there was a lot of insightful and mind-bending trips on various ‘medicines’. Finally got to experience Peyote too 🙂

Lastly I’m very proud of launching Psychonaut Explorer.

In 2023 I hope to travel more. To see more of Mexico, and on my bucket list is to hike in Patagonia or Ireland. Maybe a part of Kungsleden in Sweden. It would be amazing to hike on Iceland too 🙂 I know I will do more mind expanding trips too and I have thoughts of obtaining the knowledge from Kambo and Iboga. I’m going to sign up for Spanish lessons again and improve my Spanglish. Continue my work and experimenting with Psychonaut Explorer. I have amazing fans so there will be more pics and videos being made as well. Mostly I hope to stay healthy because then anything can happen 🙂

I forgot to shoot NYE pics for this year so I’m reusing last years content. Being wasteful is so old anyways 😉

That’s it from me this year. I wish you an amazing New Years Eve whatever you get up to and that you’ll have an amazeballs start on 2023!!!

Get ready 2023, here I come!!!!

Bustling week…

I sometimes have trouble planning my time and where to put my efforts. I want to do everything at the same time with no complications or hassles. I’m trying to build a Shopify site and obviously get stuck having to read manuals and tutorials. I tried to book a flight with some points and the site kept crashing. Spent about 3h total this week on the phone with support and getting transferred to different people. Finally I wrote them on Instagram and Twitter and got a call back on Friday. Worked on setting up an Instagram for Psychonaut Explorer and got every account (created 6) banned without even having the time to post anything on it. After asking around, I figured that I can’t use the word ‘Psychonaut’ because I guess it’s a forbidden word on IG. Finally have an account and I will share it as soon as I have some more stuff on it 🙂

Aaaaanyways, this week is almost done and got a bunch of stuff accomplished after all!

Shot a bunch because there can never be enough smut 🙂

Also got some touched up pics of me and Swedish Bella who I shot with in LA. Hope I run into her soon again! So damn tasty!

Worked on my Psychonaut stuff. Building the website is the hard part, but I like getting creative with the rest of the stuff…

Back at the gym. I feel weak and mobile as a shipping container. But I’m still pretty strong if you watch the video!

I was really motivated to train after watching my friends Ari & Mila compete last weekend. So much fun watching & cheering everyone on while stuffing myself with a croissant on the sidelines 🙂

Had to do something about my hair too. Got recommended a new salon 5 minutes walking from my place. This will be my spot from now on. Already booked appointments for my nails and lashes too. Everyone was so nice and the owners husband is Swedish too. She called him up while I was there and we chatted in Swedish. AND they served me beer!

I have been looking for a new Spanish teacher. Tried a guy out, but not sure he’s the one. I did get this great book after his recommendation. Muchas gracias!

I’m also reading the series of ‘Dungeon Crawler Carl’ by Matt Dinniman. Finished book 1 & 2 and now on the 3rd one. I like them a lot as they have some humor in them.

“A man. His ex-girlfriend’s cat. A sadistic game show unlike anything in the universe: a dungeon crawl where survival depends on killing your prey in the most entertaining way possible.” From Amazon.

That was pretty much my week. More training, shooting and working on the website next week.

Nos vemos, Pumacita 🙂

Shoot & Party

I usually blog on Sundays, but I spent most of yesterday gathering back my strength after Saturday’s dinner party. We were 16 people with some Gringos, Mexicans, a Colombian, and get this, another Finn! Debating if I should write it was ‘so much fun’ or ‘too much fun’ 🙂 I am the type of person that feeds off the energy from other people. When I’m surrounded by fun people I tend to get overly excited and go all in! You never know, could be the last party so you better make the most of it! I had a plan to take some pics, but the Mezcal was flowing, and cigarettes had to be smoked. But this pic pretty much sums up yesterday for me LOL…

On Friday last week I shot with a new photographer here in Mexico City. A girl at the gym recommended him. We shot a lot, and I think we got some really cool stuff. Still waiting for the pics so here’s some behind the scenes pics in the meanwhile 🙂

And when you don’t have access to a pro photographer, you do it yourself. I think I do a pretty good job…

I have a great week ahead. Trying another photographer to shoot some clothing on Wednesday. Going to work out hard, get my Spanish lesson, some friends coming into town, and on Friday I hope I get my Residency Visa wohoooo 🙂

How about you?

Kisses, Puma

Volcano, twerk, dogs etc…

The highlight of the past week was a road trip to the Popocatepetl volcano, the second highest volcano in Mexico. We had booked a rental car, but that was cancelled a couple of hours before our trip. Apparently there were no cars available. Someone told us this happens a lot, even if you have a booking with confirmation. No worries though, jumped in Uber and 2 hours later we got to the town Amecameca.

Some of us taking the chance to nap on the way there 🙂 Obviously I capture and post that!

Dinner in town with dogs as companions. I always sneak them some food 🙂

Next morning we started early. Town was almost deserted…

After some negotiation with local taxis and drivers we got a deal to go up to the park by the volcano. Perfect weather and clear views. Many trails to choose from and only a small fee to enter the park and hike.

The altitude made it a bit exhausting, even though it wasn’t that hard of a hike. We loved it!

It’s a small town and we hadn’t booked a ride back, so took some time to find an Uber to take us back to Mexico City. Perfect 24h excursion! Hope to do some more hikes while here.

Now taking Spanish lessons from Eliana. Is it really harder to learn when you get older? I feel sorry for Eliana who has to repeat the same stuff like 10 times and next day I ask her again how I say something… And all the conjugations, female and male stuff, puh…

Also reading, Mystic River by Dennis Lehane. I love the movie and the book is really great.

Discovering more coffee places in the city and stumble on random stuff while out walking. Like this ‘shroom’ inspired art installation 🙂

Another class of pole dancing and twerking. Watch the video of the teacher – WOW! I wish I could twerk half as good!

You didn’t think I didn’t work did you?

That’s it for last week. Tonight meeting with a seamstress here to hopefully create more Pussitive outfits 🙂 Twerk class tomorrow and then we’ll see what the rest of the week brings along 🙂

All the best from me to you!

Kisses, Puma

Continuous fun in CDMX

I love Mexico City! It just keeps staying amazing here, and I’ve only managed to cover 10% of everything I want to see and do 🙂

The highlight this week was visiting some markets yesterday. First there was the craft market. Countless skulls and other bits and pieces. Four of us did a challenge. Who could buy the best stuff in 20min with only 200 pesos? You can see it on my IG stories now – @thepumaswede.

Then we hit a food market. WOW! Never thought I’d try eating a scorpion, but I did! Crispy! Not so bad when you washed it down with Mezcal. Obviously had to convince Eliana to have one too, but she just ate it like it was a candy hahahaaa…

https://videopress.com/v/f0oVHKrX?preloadContent=metadata

I always dreamt about smashing a piñata so when I found them at the market I had to get one! Will fill it up and smash it! Dreams do come true hahahaaa…

I was also encouraged by Kira to make a dance video for her TikTok. I agreed and was soon reminded how bad my coordination skills are and that I posses no rhythm. But it’s a shame if you give up, and we decided that a great spot was in the middle of a crosswalk with The Angel of Independence in the background. Here you go!

https://videopress.com/v/OFD4zlnH?preloadContent=metadata

Then convinced Annie she needed to join in. Only one movement which was enough for my brain to remember and execute hahahhaaa…

https://videopress.com/v/ARhxTPKm?preloadContent=metadata

The Angel of Independence, this great pair of wings, and a couple of happy locals 🙂

My goal has been to go to the gym Mon – Fri. I managed 4 days this week. The face of struggle…. At least Rocco rewards with some ear licks after!

I’m not always consuming grasshoppers or cockroaches. Love the food here! There was a tortilla soup in the ceramic doll. Little unclear about what the pandas were up to…

This weeks non TikTok/IG content 🙂

Sitting at yet an other great cafe drinking great coffee and updating you guys on here. Now we’re a total of 9 people here so will send a message out and see if anyone wants to comer with me 🙂 Throwing the few Spanish words I know out there 🙂

Hasta luego!

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…

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!
