Evelina Utterdahl is, in her words, a 26-year-old girl from Sweden who has, like so many others, a serious case of wanderlust.

She also chooses not to fly, as she wrote in Why I have chosen to travel the world without flying.

Traveled all her life

She describes herself as lucky enough to have parents who likes to travel, so I had visited 4 continents and around 15 countries before 16.

At 15 she first went abroad without her parents, representing her class to go to Poland and Germany to learn more about WWII. That summer, she went on a language course to California for a month.

First solo trip

In September 2013 she first traveled completely alone to a place where she knew no one and realized that it was her passion. She started to learn more about how to travel as much as possible, and a whole new world opened up.

Since then, she has traveled about once a month.
