A Small Swede in the Big World

I'm a small Swede that simply just love to travel. I haven't been around as much as I'd wish to yet, but my life long goal is to visit all the countries in the world. I still have a long way to go before that mission is accomplished though. I live with my two cats and one spider in Alvesta, a small city outside of Växjö where I try to host people from all over the world as often as I can. If you need a place to stay, just look me up on couchsurfing.org and send me a request. My living I make working as a insurance adviser, it's a soft job with plenty of free time.

Cultural Village and Onigiri
Sounds like a lovely travel day. I like the idea of visiting a traditional cultural village, it must have been a real insight into the Japan past. I too like taking some good food with me for a train journey, so I will look out for Onigiri on my visit there next year :)

Cultural Village and Onigiri
I can really recommend a visit there, it was a very nice place with good insights into Edo Period village life. Onigiri is life, you can find them at most stations and convenience stores, costing between 100 and 200 JPY, no train ride is complete without them! :D
