Swedish Nerd Vs. The World

I went out on the balcony of our cabin on the cruise ship, while my friend Andreas was still sleeping. I was too excited to sleep because this would be my first arrival to South America ever, visiting Cartagena in northern Colombia. The fishermen in the small and rustic boats waved good morning to me, while condors hovered next to our ship. It was a new sight for me and I love experience something new still, so soon I will be ready to conquer all of South America. While entering the harbour it looked more like a cheaper version of Miami with all the skyscrapers. This pic was taken in the evening, so I can assure you that Andreas is not a morning drinker When we went off the ship we immediately found ourselves in a zoo with flamingos, anteaters and stuff like that.  So many impressions at once and suddenly a girl stopped and pointed over my head like in shock. I didn't dare to move until she said "look a monkey!", and I was so relieved it wasn't a...

Even the statues seem high and wasted in the Netherlands so it's obvious what the country is famous for. Legal drugs and prostitution is the gimmick for this picturesque city by the canals and I love countries that can be defined and isn't just a bleak version of something else, even if it is for such dark stuff as in the Netherlands. It had always been a dream to go to Amsterdam and two years ago me and my girlfriend Felicia went there to celebrate my birthday. Since I'm a sucker for statues we started off at Museumplein and worked ourselves into the city center and you can tell right away that the legal sins make a creative city.

The canals and the narrow houses makes the view amazing wherever you go and we went to enjoy the scenery and not the drugs in the cof...

Sometimes it’s dangerous to find cheap trips when you just search the low cost airlines websites to see where you can go from your hometown, when you feel bored and want to see something new. It was extremely cheap to go to Tuzla and I hadn’t ever heard about the place before, neither did I know in which country it was situated. It turned out to be a small city in Bosnia and Herzegovina and I thought to myself, it’s cheaper than going to the next town in Sweden by bus and it’s probably summer there already since it’s a bad version of spring in Sweden right now. All my friends laughed and said “Bosnia? Hell no” when I asked them to join and so I thought to myself, let’s do it anyway and I went on my own. On the plane I suddenly realized I seemed to be the only tourist, all the others seemed to have some kind of relation to Bosnia. But I thought nothing more of it. Then we landed on the smallest airport I’ve ever been to, next to a farm with cows and I thought to myself "what...
