Hi there!

I'm a 26-year old female from Sweden. Season worker or deputy mostly, but with an ambition to get a Diploma in Veterinary Nursing. Applying to university this fall, lets keep our fingers crossed!

I'm an all over the place girl that likes most things in life. Company and solitude. Music and silence. Party and cozy evenings at home with friends. Real life adventures and online games. Adrenaline and oxytocin. Why be satisfied with one thing when you can have both? ;)

We only live once and I intend to enjoy my life to the fullest! =D

Sweden - a great country by all means, but it just don't have what it takes for me to be satisfied. There is so much to see out there, how can I possibly sit still up in the north of Europe? A bit too restless, but it's in my genes. My whole family is all over the globe seeing, experiencing, living. Nomads by heart is what we are. *haha*




Dream country to live:
SOUTH AFRICA. I would love to live there. Some days I have such a longing for this amazing country.
I loved the clima, the scenery and the wild life there. Maybe one day. =)

Favourite items

  • -My backpack. Closet, bathroom cabinet and 'nap bed' - all wrapped into one!
  • -Camera. "Look at this!" ;)
  • -My silk travel sheets. Dirty bed? No problem!
  • -Sewing kit. Things break...

Favourite destinations/experiences so far:

  • -Chobe National Park, Botswana
  • -The Inka Trail, Peru
  • -Bungyjump, Queenstown, NZ
  • -New York, USA
  • -The people we lived with in Kasane, Botswana
  • -Tofo, Mocambique
  • -Kangaroos outside our tent, Noosa North Shore, Australia
  • -Sky dive, Taupo, NZ
  • -Nha Trang, Vietnam





Travel goals



Experience
Would love to visit every country in the world!!! Which is a bit unrealistic, I know. Unless maybe I win the Big Prize one day and don't have to worry about funds. ;) But untill that day comes I have a somewhat more reachable goal; Visit all the continents.

Enjoy
Love to travel without any schedule, and to just decide day by day what to do and where to go. You never know where you will find those special places. Always good to have some idea of what a country has to offer though! Coming home I want to be relaxed and full of beautiful memories. The most treasured memories seems to be the ones when things don't go exactly as you thought or planed - oddly enough! =)

Encounter
New sights, smells, tastes, ideas, people, cultures, animals, sides of myself. One interesting fact of traveling (beeing me) is that I always seem to spend time with people that I, when at home, don't socialize with. That all comes down to me being lazy and hanging with my good old pals when home, how crappy of me really. Meeting new and interesting people is the spice that makes traveling my greatest passion in life.

Been a while since we had a trip now so me and Jenny decided to try out an adventure in our home country. This time we headed north to my dads childhood village - Hackås. I love taking friends there. So anyway! We drove for about three hours before we reached that lovely red cabin. Since it was rather late we only had some sandwiches for dinner.. There is always the option to go up to Hackås Drive Inn for some burgers or a pizza, but we were a bit tired after the drive. The next day we spent utside. First [View Full Entry]

-Animals! We wanna see animals! And we did indeed! =) Us, Sarah and Nikk went together with Jimmy from Nelspruit Backpackers as a guide. Left early tuesday morning to be at the gates when they opened at 6. The day was full of sightings! Black rhino, white rhino with baby, lion with babies, three leopards, one ugly old buffalo and many normal ones, elephants up close, baboons, monkeys, zebras and many different anthelopes. Even a turtoise hurrying across the road! He made it safely to the other side. ;) Also saw many different types of eagles and beautiful birds. Camped at [View Full Entry]

Time for a bit of an adventure out of South Africa again - the kingdom of Swaziland. =) Dean and Jill was heading that direction too so we decided to go all four of us. Stupidly enough we decided to walk to the minibus station with our backpacks... It's not insanely far away but it was heavy!! Got there anyway and found the bus we wanted. They don't have any departure times for the minibuses, they depart when they are full. But we ''only'' had to wait for about one hour before the bus was full, so that was not so [View Full Entry]

Arrived in Nelspruit and went straight for a cafe - we wanted coffee!! Jenny was walking ahead a bit when two older women called Tess over and told her to wait. This part of town was dangerous!! ''Don't you worry we will find your friend!'' Can't say we were worried... Come on, it was in the middle of the day and the (black) people around us looked wealthy. Some white people... *sigh* Went to an internet cafe after we had had a bite to eat, needed to find accomodation. First two hostels we could find were fully booked... Third time's a [View Full Entry]

Had breakfast and headed towards Johannesburg with Grant. Last trip we will make togehter for a long time we assume. Ended up in trafic jam as soon as we entered the city... Sigh is all we have to say. Good we had crisps, makes time go faster! =) Went to Laws house in Honneydew, where we were supposed to stay. Got a warm welcome by him and his mother, and Mike and Jo where there too!! Found some warm clothes, it was cold in Johannesburg now when we were used to lovely Kasane weather!! Grilled some chicken for dinner and then [View Full Entry]

Today we were in for a very special occation - a wedding!! Since Grant was going and we needed to get back to SA we tagged along. ;) Arivved in Makhato and found a backpackers called Zebra Inn. Fixed ourselves for the wedding, thank god we brought some nice clothes! *hehe* The wedding started at four, and was held at this beautiful lodge at the bank of a dam surrounded by mountains. Said hello to the people we knew from Kasane. Mike and Jo, Rex and his wife, Paul was there too. And we met Law, a friend of Grant. Very [View Full Entry]

What an experience this has been! No info about prices unfortunately, since we did things in a slightly different way here. So here we go... Took the bus from Maun to Nata where we were supposed to take the next bus to Kasane. The bus never came, so instead we hitch hiked with a pipeline worker in his pick up. Yes, it is safe to do so in Botswana! =) Arrived late afternoon only to discover that the accomodation was very costly, almost P600 per night! Went to an internet cafe to get some directions about a backpackers place. Instead we [View Full Entry]

Now that we were so close to the Victoria Falls we could of course not skip them! Went to the town called Vic Falls and stayed at Shoestring Backpackers. Great place with a pair of massive great danes guarding the place. =) Had a walk to Pizza Inn for dinner, nom nom, but the walk home was Scary! Pitch black, who knows what is hiding in the dark? Buffalos, elephants, stray dogs, crazy people... But we made it home safely. =) The next day we walked to the Falls, about a 20 minute walk. Rented ponchos at the gate, trust us [View Full Entry]

The Old Bridge Backpackers. Such a lovely place to arrive at after the days in Cape Town! The bar and restaurant that are overlooking the river. The fig trees that gives shade.

We higly recomend this place! Horses! Our first day we just spent in the sun. Finaly it is warm! =) And we knew that in the afternoon we would - at [View Full Entry]

Going from Cape Town to Maun in under two days? Yes you can do it! We started from Cape Town at 6.20 friday morning. Plane tickets costed around R600 p/p. We arrived in Jo'burg two hours later. We had booked tickets on the luxury (!) bus "Intercape", that would take us to the capital of Botswana- Gabarone. The plan was to stay one night in Gabarone, but when we got there we were told that there were no available hostels or hotels...and since it was dark we didn't really feel like running around on the streets...So what to do? We started [View Full Entry]
