What is your first memory in nature?
I was 11 years old and remember spending my first night out camping with a friend on an island in the Stockholm Archipelago. The set-up of the camp, the making of the fire, the cooking of the sausages, the freedom of being alone in nature for the first time through the night was amazing.
