Hi, I’m Annica, born and raised in the very north of Sweden with only the hills and the forest as my neighbors. That might be the reason why I fell in love with trail running a few years ago. Cus, when I’m running in the wild nature, it feels like home for me. I’m working as a freelance photographer and filmmaker in the sport and music industry. I’m currently living in the north of Sweden with my daughter and Australian Shepard.
I often combine my work as a photographer with running adventures. I’m a total nerd when it comes to studying , experimenting with physical activity, mental health, social health, nutrition etc so please don’t hesitate to send a dm on IG if you’re the same. :)
Last year, I did an experiment with myself to run my first ultra to target my mental health. I wanted to embody my future, leaving 12 months of darkness behind me (after 3 deaths in the family), I decided to run the Transgrancanaria 126k cus it had 12 aid stations, representing these 12 months.
I finished the race, I broke all my records as my longest run ever before was 43k and I got a lot of answers about my future with this experience.
This year, 2025, I’m mostly focusing on social experiences, as in finding joyful adventures with the community, sharing and creating blissful memories. ❤️
