National Museum

May 9th 2015
Hello my fellow travellers! This morning, after only a couple of hours of sleep, I touched down in beautiful Prague. My host here, Jakub, lives close to the airport but since he was away at the time of my arrival I made my way into the centre of the city right away, bringing my bags with me.

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.
