Mike's photos

This is my spot on the web where I put up photos from all of my outdoor trips.

It all started in 2003. Back then I was a computer junkie with no interest in the outdoors at all.
Then all of a sudden in the middle of a computer programming coarse I got fed up with computers,
office chairs and mankind's technological advancements and decided to do something totaly different.
I wanted to get out. So I went to Åland on a one year coarse in outdoor leadership. Evidence of what
went on during that year at Åland and what I've been doing since can be seen below...
I still work with computers though, I have a job in the TV broadcasting industry. I enjoy my job and I
get to travel a lot too, but most importantly, it finances my adventures :)
