  • Day 11 - Stockholm - Visit

    August 31, 2020 in Sweden ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C

    Johnny lend my his bike today & I've been on a cycling day-tour through Stockholm. Of course the first stop was the kings palace, with guard. Afterwards just into the people, getting to know the city folk. I cycled through vasabund with the kafe 44 & norrmalm to the vikings museum & even got a mailing card for free, after you can't pay much without credit card. After that awesome (but expensive) place I went to the Rosendals Trädgård to relax a little before cycling back 35 km. On the tour back the weather got quite uncomfortable, but half my baggage was at Johnny's, so the pullover & the rain sheet got my dry & warm back.Read more

  • Day 12 - Rosenhills

    September 1, 2020 in Sweden ⋅ 🌙 13 °C

    Today I started painting the bus of Johnny as a give back for hosting me. At lunch he asked if I wanted to go to the farm he had told me about & I was eager to go with him.
    Rosenhills is a organic farm (for woofing as well), where people from around Europe are staying and helping out in the Cafe, field or apple juice station. I had quite some nice talks with the people & learned a little for other stations.
    Also met Paul, a guy from Hamburg, who is really good in deep talk & coaching, which inspired me to write more & start this as a VLog.
    Make sure, that if you are in the area to visit the place, bc it's definitely worth a coffee.

  • Day 13 - Adelsö

    September 2, 2020 in Sweden ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

    I got a VW Cabrio today & went to Adelsö (an island near here) & looked at vikings runestones and an old settlement of them + I chilled a while in rosenhills, since I'm gonna be on tour tomorrow again.Read more

  • Day 16 - Riksgränsen

    September 5, 2020 in Norway ⋅ 🌧 9 °C

    Today I hitchhiked to Norway. Fortunately the border had no control.
    In kurina I met a guy who gave me some strongly needed food & a shower, that I have the strength to continue tomorrow to Tromso. Since there are just 2 weeks left in scandinavia I skip finland & will hopefully stay a little longer in TrondheimRead more

  • Day 17 - Tromso

    September 6, 2020 in Norway ⋅ 🌧 11 °C

    Hard night with temperatures below 0, but after 5 hours of sleep I continued hiking and got a ride near Tromso. It's a rainy day so I only got a look at the harbor and the inner city, but its good to have a place inside anyway.Read more

  • Day 19 - Vikran

    September 8, 2020 in Norway ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

    I didn't go far today, but have been looking at the country side of Tromso. There are stone carvings from 4500 bc & really beautiful fjords around here.
    In the evening we talked quite a bit about politics and the philosophy of life and just chilled.Read more

  • Day 20 - Mosjoan

    September 9, 2020 in Norway ⋅ 🌧 7 °C

    Today I started really unlucky. At first I went in the wrong direction for half an hour bc I didn't look at the map before the start, then my lifter took me to Tromso instead of the E6 south. The next driver dropped me at a place where I was heading the wrong direction & in the car after I forgot my phone and spend an hour to get it (fortunately) back.
    But the luck turned and I even got an lift at 00:30 am in the countryside, where I found a dry Hut to hang my hammock. So if it stops raining, there is nothing more to complain about (which is the worst thing to have for a German 😂)

  • Day 21 - Trondheim

    September 10, 2020 in Norway ⋅ ☁️ 8 °C

    I came really fast to Trondheim today, with some nice IRA music & green conversations in between. It rained as f**k, so wherever I stood I got quite wet...
    When I came here I had a small walk in the City center & to the harbor & will bike around tomorrow.Read more

  • Day 23 - Fagemes

    September 12, 2020 in Norway ⋅ 🌙 5 °C

    Today I started quite late in trondheim & had many short lifts before a drug Counselor took me to Fagemes. I had a long nice talk about growing the own personality & defining his goals & challenging his problems.
    Now I'm staying in a workshop & rest before I start early tomorrow to get to Sandnes.
