Hello my fellow travellers! For my 50th visited country I had planned something special for myself, Japan. I've been fascinated by Japan ever since I was a young boy and watched the television series Shogun, based on the book by James Clavell. The book is a fictionalised depiction based on the true life of William Adams, an English sailor who got stranded in Japan in 1600 and came into the servic... Read Full Entry

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.

Catching up
I was disorientated for a brief moment when it sounded like this was going to be your first visit to Japan... and then I looked at the date of the blog :) Looking forward to following along with you on your first impressions of a country that I know you have so much love for!

Catching up
Haha, aye sorry about that, my writing style of always writing as if it's a bit in the moment can be disorienting for older travels. I have such a massive backlog of travels to catch up on. My first trip to Japan was a month long so it will take me a while to catch up and in May/June it will probably be interrupted for a while with my upcoming trip to Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan. Small spoiler, my first trip to Japan was awesome and was packed to the brim with wonderful experiences. :D

There is a lot to see in Sweden
Travelling in Sweden is very rewarding because there is a lot to see here. We have been thinking about taking a vacation and go for a road trip here but so far that hasn't happened. But over the years we have still been able to see quite a it by taking it piece by piece. But Trelleborgen is still on the To-Do-List so I guess we have to plan yet another trip in the south of Sweden. /Ake

I agree, there is certainly more here than what usually comes to mind, I imagine I will probably look around a bit more in Sweden. :)

Viking History
Very interesting for me to read about Viking History from the Scandinavian side. My own learnings of the Vikings come from my growing up in Yorkshire, site of multiple marauding invasions of the Vikings. It is interesting to read about them from the Scandinavian perspective. I look forward to reading about your travels in Japan :)
