Visit Sweden We hope to visit Sweden in the next two or three years. I will have to ask you to map out our itinerary. Decades ago I planned to buy a Volvo and pick it up at the factory and drive it all around before having it shipped home. Sadly, I don't like the new Volvo's as much as I did the old ones so that is not likely to happen. Keep blogging.... we are enjoying your country.
On visiting Sweden I look forward to give you travel advice for a journey in Sweden. But that will be later. For the time being we will keep on traveling our elongated country ourselves and upload pictures and tell you all about what we see and do during our own travels here. We will do our best to make Sweden look interesting. /Ake
Early Travels I did a trip around Central Mexico, and an Interrailaing trip around Europe, in the late 1990s. I have often considered writing up about these travels recently. Well done you for doing so ?
Travel in the Nineties Ah, your travel blog entry on Australian travels in the 1990s brings back memories for me. Not that I have travelled in Australia, but that I began travelling myself in the nineties. The non-digital photo age, and the hitch-hiking - ah, what wonderful times! I enjoyed reading this, it looks like you explored lots in and around Melbourne and Tasmania ?
Fascinating Country A fascinating country is Indonesia. It sounds like you enjoyed it very much. I do hope you are able to return again soon to be able to see more. I myself only scratched the surface of such a large and diverse country.
Same here I totally agree. I mean, I didn't even see the Prambanan Temples. Also I read an article once about there in Indonesia is a lake with jellyfish. Possibly it is Kakaban Lake. I remember seeing spectacular photos from it and would love to see it IRL. /Ake
Komodo and Krakatoa Wow, two very big travel destinations covered in this trip - well done! I've been to Indonesia twice, but not to either of those locations. I remember Surabaya being not very interesting, but I certainly didn't have a lockpicking experience with the police! Great shot with the komodo dragon. I too would have felt a little nervous!
Fabulous Indonesia There are several other places we want to visit in Indonesia. It's a vast country with more diversity than people realise. We hope we'll have the chance to go there again some day. /Ake
North Cyprus Great idea to write about your pre-Travel Blog travelling days, Ake ? Wow! North Cyprus looks like a fascinating place to visit. It also looks very sad with many a poignant tale to tell it seems. I love the Kennington Fried Chicken and the Crosswalk signs, lol! ?
Very interesting place North Cyprus was one of those places that was far more interesting than I thought it would be. I didn't know much before I went but learnt a lot when I was there. I giuess I wouldn't mind going back because there were several places I didn't have time to visit. /Ake
Going home and more It is great visiting local and homelands with visitors eyes while taking the time to stop and explore thing we used to drive past. We look forward to visiting Sweden.
Signs I like your idea of dedicating a whole blog entry to a theme. Very interesting signs indeed! I think I have caught up now with your Sweden trip 2020 - yay! A great trip, very inspirational, and amazing what you can find scratching beneath the surface of one's own country. I look forward to Sweden 2021 ?
We have already begun writing the 2021 blogs We have already had time to visit some places in Sweden this year. One blog we have published so far and there will be more coming before summer. Hope you will enjoy reding those as well. /Ake
We are Emma Holmbro and Ake Dahllof. We live in Stockholm, Sweden.
We have travelled more or less regularly since the mid 1990-ies and it seems like the more we travel the more difficult it is to decide where to go next. Not because we are running out of places to visit but because we find more places we want to go to faster than we manage to travel to them.
Some of the things from our travel bucket list we have ticked off since we started this blog in 2006 are
