Although Anja Pärson has built her career on skiing on snow, she is now tired of winter.
She plans to leave Sweden with her family.
– I am sick of freezing and having winter right now so I can probably think to test a year where it is just warm and nice, she tells Expressen.
She has six Olympic medals, 13 World Cup medals and double gold. Anja Pärson43, is undoubtedly one of Sweden’s largest winter sportsmen ever. Nowadays she lives with his wife Filippa Rådin52, and their three children (two common) in Umeå. But Anja has started to get a little tired of life.
Anja Pärson’s life with family
Right now Anja Pärson is going to school again. She goes to an entrepreneurial program for former athlete at the School of Economics, but she still does not know what to do afterwards. She has previously tested to be a TV expert and had a few different projects together with her wife. Filippa works as a design and stylist and has several own projects in progress. Therefore, Anja has been thinking a lot about the future.

At the same time, she is still suffering from the same knee problems that caused it for her during her active career.
– It’s on and off, I’m starting to get osteoarthritis. I come from a rheumatism genus so it starts to appear when you are 43, that it starts to emerge such things. I try to think that I should eat well and exercise well and sleep well. Right now I do none of them, but it will be late – it will be late, she tells Expressen.
Hit anja Pärson wants to move
Now Anja opens to leave home in Umeå. It turns out that all family members are quite eager to test something new.
– Everyone wants to live abroad and be a year abroad. But we can’t agree on it is this winter or summer, so we’ll see what it will be. I am sick of freezing and having winter right now so I can probably think of testing a year where it is just warm and nice. At the same time, I would sadden on it pretty quickly and want to ski. Right now I’m very excited to ski – can you get both?, She asks.

They have not decided anything concrete yet, but there is a (slightly unexpected) country that is closest at the moment. It is located in South America.
– My wife is half from Uruguay. We have talked about getting closer to that family a bit. Grandma there is 100 years old, so it is a bit tempting to go there a turn. Many people know “Vafan we do now?”. It becomes easier and easier to work remotely. More and more people have moved. For us, it is about Filippa originating from elsewhere, I have lived abroad half my life, giving the children greater experiences, says Anja.
Wow, Anja! It would be a really big adventure for both you and the family to go to Uruguay for a year. Hope it gets rid of. We keep your thumbs for you!
