Samuel tries to be outdoors as much as he can, and he enjoys the calmness, harmony and peace that nature brings. Sweden is famous for a unique concept called “freedom to roam” or “right of public access”. That includes the free rights of walking, camping, cycling, picking berries and visiting any land, with exceptions for gardens, houses and areas of cultivation. Therefore, it is very popular and appreciated for Swedes to go on trips to different forests and lands, during the holidays or weekends.
