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.

Well Done!
Wow! Well done indeed my friend! What an epic journey and achievement for you! You scaled Mt Fuji overnight, after climbing Mt Hoei the day before. And you were then able to find energy to travel to Osaka and enjoy an evening out there! I'm sure there are not many who'd be able to do all of that. We'll done indeed!

You’re Hardcore!
Per-Olof, you’re one hardcore dude. Two mountains in quick succession?!? I’m glad you at least got a bit of sunrise. I got absolutely none when I climbed Mt Fuji in 2010. I, too, did an overnight climb.

Thanks man! Aye, it might have been brief, but it was much welcome after that arduous climb. Aye, I remember that you had really rough luck with yours.
