This blog is a collection of random stories, anecdotes and thoughts in general. I started it back in September 2004 when my lifestyle as a wanderer began with an exchange trip to France. As the people, places and shenanigans blur together this blog is as much a tool to remind myself of what I have done and who I have met as it is to inform my friends and family that I am, in fact, still alive.

Headed West
Naturally my time in Stockholm had to come to an end with some crazy partying and that´s exactly what I did. Joel and I hit a two day bender out in the city: we tried our best to get some segways rented for the day but we had no luck - "advanced bookings essential" - that doesn´t really suit my style of travel.. Instead we did a very Swedish thing with the excellent weather in mind and fired up the engångsgrill (disposable bbq) and hit the park in Hörnstull. It was a perfect day really. It didn´t feel like Sweden at all, especially not in May! The weather was up around 22degrees in the sun. Unfortunately drinking in the sun all day didn´t exactly give me loads of energy for pulling an all-nighter. But with a little help from my friends - particularly from Val, I actually made it out until after 3am! Without her smooth moves I wouldn´t have gotten in anywhere at 1am out in Stockholm - to be honest they really shouldn´t have let me in at Berns ;) I am very fortunate to have such good friends in Stockholm really. Joel and Catha always take good care of me, go out and have a great time and are generally there for me. Val is always so in touch with what´s going on in my life, often even more than I myself am! All the while looking out for my best interests. Last but not least (except in height of course) is Nataly: so generous in opening up her home to me and making me feel welcome (despite her heavy social calendar commitments). Time to cross my first border...
