What life looks like from above? Better, faster, bigger, newer, nicer, more chic, more fashionable are just a few examples of words we like to attach to our material needs. And think about what the next generation will value if we continue this way! Christmas and all the commersial hype around it. Wouldn´t it be nice to skip it and just spend time with the family? Just being satisfied! Think about it. SATISFACTION. Satisfaction unrelated to material things. This is why I called this entry for "A bird´s perspective". Up there, you see clearly what is important in life. You see how small and insignificant most things - that are valued highly on the ground - really are. The only things that matters are the bonds you have to the people you know, care for and ... read more

Let the world know! Oh Sydney, oh Sydney my love! How I miss your people that became apart of me (Mel, Djamel, Chris, Olivia, Trish, Agnes, Emad, Edgar, Ben... the list is long). I miss your sunshining smile - although you have a big hole in the atmosphere of your Ozon mouth. I miss your beautiful beaches - which were the playground where we spent most of our time. I miss your spectacular coastline - alongside which I used to run. I long for your great culinary expertise (thanks to the influence of your exotic neighbours and citizens). I miss your nightlife (King´s Cross, Oxford St. and Goodbar in specific). I miss the heat you radiate all year (Winter in Sydney equals normal Swedish Summer!) and heck I even miss sitting in your slow public transportation ... read more

While viewing my folders, I remind myself once again of what a uniquely fortunate guy I am. The folders are filled with pictures of places that most people can only dream of visiting in a lifetime. Of course there has been times of trials and problems in my life - the same must have been for any of you. But - with a dash of gratitude and humbleness - you realize quickly how beautiful and easy life really is. At least for those of us that are fortunate! Most of it is of course thanks to our parents who not only made us (while having a good time) but also offered us the opportunities of the world. Thank you! I love you wherever you are or will be. Attached to this entry is not pictures, it ... read more

The first BAD news is that I have been so busy travelling, diving, snorkelling, sailing, camping, dancing, partying and other boring stuff that I have not yet had the chance to sit more than 5 minutes by a computer and update with pictures. The other BAD news is that I won't have the time to do so in Thailand either because I have to snorkel, eat good food, have regular daily massages, travel around, drink buckets and Singhas, sing karaoke, go to full moon party and chill on the beach. So i hope you all forgive my humble soul that needs to be infused with such commodities to live and enjoy life while I breath. A GOOD news might be that I will see most of you all in 3 weeks back in Sweden and trust ... read more

About 200 km south of Sydney by the coast there is Jervis Bay, that is famous for its beaches, dolphins and national park area. My first encounter with a wallabieeeee :) It was on the way to the beach when the kangaroo baby was spotted among the trees. Very very cute as he/she was looking at us for a while before hopping away to other adventures with more interesting things to see than 'civilized' human beings. ... read more
