New Job, New Chapter

It's been a hectic few weeks! Mainly because I'm now working two different jobs at the same time as I try to experience this wonderful summer of 2023!

Althrough my life I've been striving to make my passion my profession and in many ways I've already managed to do this in one way or another which I'm so grateful for!

It's been video making, scuba diving, underwater photography, running a glamping business or coffee making. I think it's important to be invested in what I'm doing in order to keep developem stay inspired and do a good job.

In the end of may I started a job involving my biggest passion, the sport Orienteering. Since I was 11 years old I have been running orienteering and I can say it's the one thing that has paved the way through my life and I'm beyond happy to have been forced into this small world of great individuals. Because of this joy and all the memories I have created around this sport, I'm so stoked to be able to work and give back to the development of this movement.

And on top of that I'll be working within my field of expertise, communication and media production, isn't that just a perfect fit?? I'll be travelling around the world to cover competitions and other events to create stories visually and with writing about this beautiful sport I love.

So head over to www.orientering.se to see what is happening!

A three week diving expedition in Costa Rica

Watch how we prepared for a 3 week adventure och sailed out into the pacific to explore some of the best diving spots in the world (& how we almost got kicked off one of the worlds largest marine national parks haha) . . I find most of my passion project unfortunately gets deprioritized. 😩 You know how it is, stuff gets in the way... work... bills got to be paid... And after a few more months it just doesn't feel as exciting anymore. The bigger the project is, the more difficult I experience it is to start up the project again. This one got sitting waaay to long on the hard drives and I struggled a lot to put it together! I had soo much footage and only a brief storyboard of what I wanted to produce.

But I always finish what I started! & I'm so glad to be able to show this one!

UFO SWEDEN - WORLD PREMIERE

And so, it was finally time to watch the movie I was part of creating in 2021. For 3 months we filmed and worked together, 80 people of us, to create this beautiful movie. I'm overwhelmed and impressed with what we accomplished and so thankful to be part of the project.

Last week of the season at Björkholmens Glamping I took the opportunity to create a cozy mystic little DJ set in my tent. Have a listen and let me know what you think! Perfect to listen to chilling in a tent hearing the world and nature go by outside the canvas.

First week at Björkholmens Glamping

What a summer week here at Björkholmens Glamping!

Wow... I couldn't even have imagined a better start when I started a Glamping in Sweden... And it's be so much fun. First week open at Björkholmens Glamping and me and mum have been fully booked!? But the most fun part has been that I've had friends come visit & I've been able to show them our lovely home here outside Veddige next to Stora Hornsjön. This is a great way to go on vacation at home (hemester or staycation) and experience wild nature. The idea of Glamping is for the guests to arrive to a fully equipped tent, nice beds and just a cozy environment in the middle of the nature. Here's its excellent to swim, rent a canoe or stand up paddleboard to explore the lake. Björkholmens Glamping is located in Halland, Sweden (sverige), close to gothenburg.

Next week we're also full but August, bring it on! Welcome!

Om ni vill på hemester på Glamping i Halland, Sverige så tveka inte att höra av er! Vi är precis utanför göteborg och den perfekta lilla semestern eller weekend ute i naturen. Bekvämt och bra med sköna sängar och mysigt rymligt tält.

The work goes on in full force to finish the new branch to my business! I'm super stoked to finally open up Björkholmens Glamping in Veddige, Halland this weekend! Glamping is a comfortable way to experience the wonders of nature that I'm so passionated about. So check it out on Airbnb or contact me if you want to experience something different! We are located between varberg and kungsbacka by the big lake Stora Hornsjön.

Björkholmens Glamping

So a new project has begun! After the Van build I started feeling comfortable about creating something with my bare hands. This idea started to grow inside me a few months ago, "how about starting a Glamping business!?" easy and comfy camping but in nature. To reconnect and relax while enjoying activities in the nature, that's what I love!

As many of you already know I absolutely thrive in the place where my mother lives. The nature here is fantastic and I really feel like home! For a long time I've been thinking about how I can show and share this nature gem with others. Then I got the brilliant idea to start a glamping business by our lake. Glamping is glamorous camping, get the great camping feeling but no need to bring tent or sleeping bag, we got it sorted! The plan is to rent it out on Airbnb and host guests who wants a comfortable way to explore and experience the real beauty of the scandnavian forest. This summer I've furnished a big canvas tent and made it all cozy and nice. Hopefully I have time to make a vlog about this later but for now I want to get ready for my first guests!

Check it out on airbnb! www.airbnb.com/h/bjorkholmensglamping

1 Months into my adventures in Mexico & here's a few snaps I've collected so far. I started out with a few weeks in San Pancho just north of Puerto Vallarta on the west coast, followed by a week in the vibrant city of Guadalajara. Now I'm in Baja California Sur which is an amazing place!

THE END OF AN EPIC JOURNEY

In the summer of 2017 me and my best friend Robin set out on a very special journey. With nothing but our backpacks we were determined to travel from the most southern point of Sweden to the most north point WITHOUT ANY MONEY. We had decided to make an documentary out of it, but I didn’t really know more than that. Three years later and I can summarize this as my biggest project ever! And almost without any financial backing (except for all the people who helped us along the way of course). But we did it for them! and for us! and for all the memories and stories to be told. I’m so proud of us and feel such a joy and relief that we have finally taken this project to the finish line. There’s now 26 episodes online, that’s more than 7 hours of content!? That will live on in an eternity. 

Thank you everybody, Peace Out

“The freeloader trip” continues!

One of my biggest projects “Snyltresan” is the 25 days long hitchhiking trip  did with Robin through Sweden without any money. it was the summer of 2017 we set out on this great adventure. It was going to get tough, uncomfortable but also life changing experience of joy and love from strangers and newly found friends. 

Me and my best friend Robin did the trip back in 2017 thinking we would have a third party to take on the editing and pitch the production to a tv-channel or production company, something that never happened. So this year in April when Covid-19 hit and I was stuck on a boat in Indonesia for two months I finally had time to continue the prodcuction of this documentary series. Now there’s not many episodes left and I can finally see the “light in the tunnel”. It’s been a great adventure and it felt great to be able to work towards finishing this great project, for our own sake but also for all the people that helped us along the way. Now it’s out on YouTube and of course we hope that there’s an interest to follow our journey along our beautiful country. So please, have a look! 

Regards, Hugo Mattsson

HOW to make the MOST out of YOUR GoPro UNDERWATER! 

Hey guys! 

I’m back here after a shameless quiet times here on the BLOG. I’ve now been in quarantine on the boat Mikumba 2 for one month floating in the harbour of Waisai. Why?? Well, if you didn’t know this pandemic has strangled every single tourist opportunity there is and all our trips are cancelled. These are strange and difficult times but you also have to take the time and do something productive! 

I have for a very long time now (like a year or two) wanted to share my knowledge about underwater photography and videography and now I finally had time and creativity to start this journey!

In this first video I’ll go through the key features of creating good underwater content with a simple GoPro Hero8, the perfect tool for beginners to start learning underwater videography.

I show some gear that will enhance your video (like a tray or a tripod) or maybe the most important thing while diving: LIGHTS!

I finish off the video talking about the importance of editing and color correction while using a GoPro, and I’ll show you how to do it in 1 minute! 

Hope you enjoy this video! Give it a thumbs up and I’ll keep producing these.

Diving & being in the water is one the most fun things I know. There are many contributing factors to this. When I started working on this video I wanted to be able to express the playfulness of diving together with the amazing creatures you get to enjoy and the fun people you get to enjoy it WITH.

I hope you like this playful video with footage I've collected over this last few weeks. Please leave a comment.

I got a little bit of inspiration from the guys over at Behind The Mask, some of the the best underwater filmmakers there is!
