“I had the pleasure of walking with Daniel for a few days on the Camino Portuguese this October. During that time I came to realise he is quite an insightful person with the ability to be very task focused but at the same time thoughtful of other people. It was a walk where we shared interesting conversation and comfortable silences.”
Peter O’Meara, Thailand
“I met Daniel on Fyn at the Fjällräven Classic Denmark. My foot was broken and Daniel looked after me and brought me to the checkpoint. We had great conversations and he also took care of the organization in the hospital afterwards! A great guy! And super nice! He makes jokes and can comfort well when one is sad and does not know any more.”

“Even though Daniel has a great sense of humor and is always up for joking around, I would say still waters run deep! On the size of his little backpack – sometimes less is more – you could immediately see that Daniel is an experienced walker, hiker or pilgrim whatever you want to call it. You would never hear a complaint from Daniel, but only acknowledging the bright side of life!”

“I met Daniel from Sweden through his post on the Camino pilgrims forum. We met for an morning beer in Lisbon and decided that we would start our Camino together. Daniel speaks excellent English and made me laugh at everything. His comedic sense of timing was much appreciated as was the fact that I know he slowed his pace down dramatically so that we could walk together.”

“It’s a nice experience to walk 110km trail in 5 days accompany with an interesting and experienced mentor. Daniel took care of team members who had discomfort during the hike and made sure everyone was OK. With Daniel as a guide everyone finished the hike successfully. And I also learned some useful Swedish from him, like how to order a beer, which is so important when you take a rest in the huts or at the finish line.”

“An adventure is like a cocktail. When the ingredients are right the taste is phenomenal, and sometimes I just need a slice of lemon. Daniel Vilhelmsson is like the bartender. You are in focus, and if nature serves an adventure cocktail, Daniel lets nature rule. If nature sends you a curved ball with rain or bad weather, Daniel finds the right ingredients to make the adventure complete. To have a bartender in world class, is an insurance that adventure is ahead. So trust your bartender and you’re in for a world class adventure.”

“We met Daniel at Fjällräven Classic Sweden 2017. As an experienced guide at this trekking event, he provided us with lots of useful suggestions with great delight before and during trek, it made us feel free to talk with him. In this 5 days, we talked about the magnificent landscape, had some juicy berries, shared some stories of native people, and moreover, he let us know the positive attitude in the wild. It was our pleasure to meet him. We have an unforgettable adventure in Lapland.”

“We met Daniel at Fjällräven Classic Sweden 2017 and Fjällräven Classic Denmark 2018. He really is a great guide. He always reminded us of the safety to pay attention during trek and shared a lot of knowledge about the outdoors with us. Daniel is professional but still very humble and has a great sense of humor. He let us know the positive attitude in the wild and life. I learned a lot from him, like positive life attitudes and how to enjoy the outdoors. l feel very lucky to meet him. I hope to meet him again in Fjallraven Classic USA next year.”

“I had the privilege of meeting Daniel in June of this year while walking the Camino Frances. We became part of a group of pilgrims who chose to walk together during the day and to eat, drink and be merry during the evening. It was magical. The interesting thing about Daniel, though, is that he didn’t just walk, eat, and drink with the rest of us; he was also provided leadership in his calm, gentle way. He was always looking out for us; herding the straggler back into the group; making sure everyone was okay without making a big deal of it. I always felt confident when I was walking with Daniel and always felt that laughter was about to break out! I highly recommend him and his leadership skills for any outdoor venture that he undertakes.”
Nancy Brown, Canada
“If your looking for someone who can show you how easy it is to access beautiful and serene places, Daniel is definitely the guy to do that. He is very humble with excellent social skills and humor. He knows what he is talking about when it comes to enjoying and experiencing the outdoors as well as knowledgeable on bushcraft and what equipment to use and not to use. I have joined Daniel for two micro adventures that took place at a hiking distance from the Gothenburg city centre and have absolutely loved it! Both times I slept with nothing but the sky above my head, woke up and went directly to work the day after, but not before having enjoyed a dip in a forest lake and some freshly brewed coffee from an open fire. If you need a guide who can inspire you, Daniel has all the skills you need. And if you are really lucky he might even fry you some pancakes on the open fire in the morning before you head off to work.”
David Heigis, Sweden
“There are two things that stand out with Daniel; his vast knowledge about the great outdoors and maybe most importantly his humble and big-hearted personality. We consulted Daniel while planning for a 10 day trip through Sarek National Park. He did not cease to impress with his extensive knowledge about one of Sweden’s most isolated regions, which he knows as well as his own backyard. If we had done the research ourselves it would have taken days to find and even then there is certain information that you cannot find on the internet. Daniel could answer all of our questions from the tip of the tongue as well as adding extra tips of do’s and don’ts. We received reliable information and feel confident walking through one of Sweden’s wildest regions. On top of Daniel’s extensive knowledge he also has a really enjoyable personality and makes everyone around him feel appreciated. Clearly this is the result of a man who gives his passion everything and loves inspiring others.”
Louise Elger and Konrad Pohl, Sweden
“It’s truly a great fortune and pleasure that Daniel could be the person who led and accompanied me to take the summer adventure on “Kungsleden” at Fjällräven Classic Sweden 2019. As an experienced guide or even a trusted mentor, Daniel always makes me feel safe and comfortable to follow him in his footsteps when walking behind him. Besides, the time we talk and laugh, have meals, say goodnight or goodmorning, set up the campfire, swim in the refreshing water, or just walk silently and enjoy the spectacular scenery, has all turned into the most beautiful and precious memory to me.
To be honest, saying goodbye and try not to miss Daniel too early is quite difficult for me after spending about a week together in this lovely wonderland. Sincerely hope that I could meet somewhere or trek with Daniel again in the future no matter how far it would be. However, “the longest journey is the one inward”, which Daniel has told (specifically, translated the extremely touched sentence in Swedish on the rock to) me before we went through the finish line in Abisko, I do believe that everything Daniel had taught and spiritually inspired me in this unforgettable journey would make me become a brave but humble person to move forward to exploring the world, the nature, and myself.
Deeply appreciate for having Daniel with me this time.”

“First, it was a wonderful trip in Sweden, much thanks to Daniel, he is the most nice and humorous person I have ever met. Although, my english is poor, this trip became unforgettable!!!! From this trip I've learned so many things, like how to pack and unpack my own stuff and how to choose campsites. From time to time we used funny language to chat with each other but we also just enjoyed being accompanied by each other. All above memories made this trip so special and memorable.”
