FINNMARK 2020 DAY Eight.

What a full-hearted welcome by the brothers here. We saw the East going “Polatrlys” calling-in at 16:45 and turn round in the “fjord”. Have slept well upstairs and the weather 13 gr. With a sparkling sun. We, son and father, have walked this site out to have a look at Kim Andrea’s “Maya”. The Sea is so clear. Walk to the other end of the “village” to the church. Then the “upper road” home for some lunch. It is a bit late (and blowing) for going fishing, and Oddmund with Kim Andrea’s scheduled job at sea is to check King Krab tejns.

Planned activities are trips inland (Åke’s hut and Meeham Harbour/Sletnæs lighthouse). Relaxe and admire Kjøllefjords combination of all nature’s finest aspects.

Last night, I learnt, that poor fishermen in old time could row from here in open Sea all the way some 200 km down to Lofoten. Tough times. In this house, Åke Ivar’s, birthplace, was housed parents with six children.

Half a Century ago children used the harbour platforms to play all day (swim, jump etc.). The Church bells would chime at 20 hrs., and children should go home for the day. The Lensman (police) would patrol with his dog to control appliance. All this has gone.

Today many elders are housed in hospital, elders home and in elders houses.

2020 FINNMARK. Day seventh (Monday morning)

Palmok is an OK place. Rather primitive in Contact, but being very far out, what else can be expected? Many things are communicated only by signals. As an example, the only instruction in the double hut is a sign: No Smoking.

We are early risers after good sleeps. No noise overnight has been disturbing us. It is really the one end of the long Highway 6 from Portugal.

Another reason for sleeping well can be, that rush is over. A few hours’ drive, and we will be with Åke-Ivar and brother Oddmund in the very charming small fishing village of Kjøllefjord., a long Fjord open to the West.

I have slept in Åke-Ivar’s home twice before, so left now is just to renew bonds. Laying in the warm bed early this morning, my thinking was drifting wide? Hospitality met with 60 years ago in Samoa (the tropics) as a young person and now here in

The rich Norway (the Artic) is like day and night in comparison! Have we inhabitants of our common Globe changed so much our are we subject to changes in our humanity?

Of course, if you grow-up in tribal societies, you become members thereof. If you grow up as nomads, which is or have been more or less the case her in Lapland, you may tend to be less SOCIAL, less Communicating?

Program of the day is:

Leave at 10-11 o’clock for a stop in Tana to look at shops etc. Then the say two hrs. drive up to Kjøllefjord. We are now out of “the woods”, so the mountains will be bare, and reins, moose and predators might be seen?

Temp. was yesterday unusual high for September up here (17 gr,), so we have been praised. Only two minutes of light rain, so the empty E 6 Was as our own racetrack! All the time, we moved in long curves up and down, in and out, with breathtaking views to lakes, coasts, mountains tops etc. Add to this, that colors are so picture full and forceful.

During the last Pasvik stop at Svanvik, we walked their botanical garden, which reveals how rich, the very short artic summer can be. Vegetables are going to big dimensions.

Our hosts here, Astrid & Andreas, provided us with frozen “helleflynder”, and with fine, light yellow potatoes dug up in their garden. Delicious.

We went some 100 mtrs. By car to the Museum (closed) and to the river. Christian walked back to keep his fitness in order.

As in Australia and other places, I am a bit anxious as to re-union, after here 9 years. I guess needless.

FINNMARK 2020. Day SIX

FINNMARK 2020. Day SIX

Sun was up, and we packed our gear and took it to the car ahead of a delicious breakfast at 09:00. Having lived in such marvelous “Wild Life” designed surroundings out in the woods, haVSbeen medicine for the hectic travel up to now.

Christian got the idea to save a 100 Km by cutting through to Kirkenes across Finland. Only Corona complications worried us.

Never mind, we went to the Finland border and explained our only TRANSIT needs, and two competent patrol men let us pass. We then had three easy hours on the most nice road without traffic through to Kirkenes. It was so fantastic to cruise over the plains. The lonely official at the other end just waved us through!

We are now via a bad road down here at Vaggamatem 100 km down in the Pasvik Valley. It’s time for a “morfar”. Noatun rendezvous has to wait for tomorrow morning. No Sauna either, but may a dip in the river before going to bed?

Today’s program was the toughest. We have hardly relaxed enough from a tough start, and the mileage and unknown terrain was worrying us/me also.

Christian is in touch with Andreas at the next stop, near Tana. After that our Main Stop. Åke-Ivar’s cosy Kjøllefjord home. The long road from Honningsvrå back to Tromsæ, that we see as “a piece of cake”.

Rain has not hit us yet, and today up at the plains temperature was 18 gr. Water is seen everywhere as lakes and/or running fast downhill. Colours are a lot of red and yellow already, and sceneries in general breathtaking.

Very few birds or animals have been spotted so far.

Our rather optimistic program is only possible due all the electronic devices, which can be consulted and used to facilitate successful end results. Wonder how travel will develop in a further life span?

Have now slept and woke up to sunshine. Around 08:00 hrs, we will drive the 10 km down to NOATUN. Walk out to the borderpost and look over towards the BIG country, Russia. Going North then jsut turn-in at Svanvik to study how well all types of plants and vegatables can grow by plenty of long light in a short summer. More to that later from here 70 gr. North.

Off for another good day.

Day FOUR. Kautokeino

The overnight trip on HURTIGRUTEN’s “MIDNIGHT SUN” was so elegant. Having left Tromsø at 18:00, we enjoyed the slow sailing North. , Had a small salad dinner and went to bed early for wake-up at 05:00 to go ashore in Hammerfest, were the car was handed back to us at the Quaye!

We are now lodged in a fine and warm hut at Kautokeino having driven two beautiful stretches in full Lapland sun up along the ever changing Alta river with a short breakfast stop in Alta. Christian really found the Juhl Silversmith visit high up on the river’s southern bank breathtaking, like we have done before. Took a sundowner just outside Maris hut.. A fine, sunny day here very north.

Day Five. Going Karasjok.

Yesterday was a remarkable autumn day up here North. So long and pleasant. From our table in a comfortable hut room, we watched the “midnight sun” around 21:00 just skimming the valley top far over beyond the Alta river settling quietly.

Dinner was Reindeer beef. Very tasteful.

We are now already “seasoned travelers”. Maybe also relaxed, having survived the strange HURTIGRUTE night and the pertaining drive up/in here? Traveling is much more hard work, than I recalled, but charming. In few minutes I shall be the driver of the first stretch back say 50 km of the Highway 45 up to the right hand Karasjok road. Years ago, Hanne and I were the only passengers in a midnight bus driving the stretch over the tundra in pitch dark.

-Cont. Karashok. The passage at daytime across the “plains” to her was marvelous. Nature really reveals all about “who is in control”? Height of vegetation, colors, growth etc. are all determined by the richness of soil or lack of same, the slope of ground, the waterfalls and run-off etc.

What a wonderful drive. We made stops, whenever we felt! Found easily “Engholm Husky”. Checked in to a very “rough” settler’s hut, and having unpacked and after some food, we proceeded to have a glance at the Sami City KARACHOK, 6 km further on, whilst the wood stove went going. Not much to see. A cup of coffee and a small “morfar” up to excellent dinner at 19:00 hrs.

Christian has checked for programs at the next two stopovers on our way up to the real goal of this encounter. The STAY with Kjøllefjord families/friends. So far incredibly good. The weather is with us!

TROMSØ Library

DAY one – 01 September 2020

A SAS flight or two small ones took us up here to TROMSØ, Finnmark, Norway, via Oslo.

Yesterday was horrible. Almost no sleep all night until Christian in a Taxi picked me up around 03:15.

Passed through an almost empty and sleeping Kastrup Airport (CORANA). Was told by someone, that our joint two pieces of luggage will be sent on to TromsØ. Well seated in the flight there, the crew asked me with my hand luggage to disembark and go back to the “Check-in”, as something was not correct with my luggage. I had lost Christian in the process.

The Check-in now was left unattended. We had only been say 20 passengers.

My flight took off, but suddenly Christian turned up. We were re-united. Thank god!

Two hours later, we landed well here WITH the suitcases!

Having chosen to let two TROMSØ BnB nights a start. feels Okay.

It is a Capital of the region as its own up here so far North.

Hours later, we had got a nice Suzuki car, dropped luggage at B&B, which would be cleaned ready for us at 17:00 hours.

Went shopping and found tasty “Rød¸fisk” for dinner prepared back again by Christian.

Went to bed quite early. Well used!

— cont. Took a small sightseeing trip to the North and due heavy traffic. Christian continued all the way round to the Airport and then in the tunnel back. Went to bed on a small glass of COGNAC. Tasted like Heaven.

Today was set aside for double Museum exercises. Uni. M. in the morning, and Polar M. after lunch. In between purchase of whale meat Roald Amundsen and his encounters. Quite a nice museum. We are now home for two “morfars” (one each).

19:15 hrs. Christian is doing all the work. The black whale meat is well under its way to land as de Luxe dinner.

DIARY for 2020 travel in Finnmark, Norway, with Christian.

Dansk tekst findes længere nede i teksten.

-(scheduled for 1. – 12. Of September 2020)

Since visiting Kerstin on Sørøya in 2004, Hanne and I have always been captivated by “Lapland” ie. FINNMARK, Northern Norway. See our travel-diaries to there 2004, -06, -09, and 2011.

WHAT would be better now, where alone, than to ask my son to travel “an adventure trip” that overall would be “All the Best”? The Ide’a just seems to be BINGO! More than that!

Right now, after a meeting last week, Christian is honing a chosen route to get all logistics in place. I find below that my son is simply good at it.

From the fact that I fumbled around with suggestions, that financially should make our Adventure modest, he makes things unfold elegantly and at the same time “form meaning”.

Of course, we must live “as we are in the first class”. Our friends in Kjøllefjord (from 2004 trip to Kerstin) are advised, as the visit with them must be the highlight of the trip. I promised them to bake pastry and make fishballs, as they existed in Skagen in the old days at Signe and Thomas’s.

Starting in TROMSØ will give us all the best about Norway’s last of major cities on the west coast, and it’s really high to the north (maybe 2.000 km north of Oslo?). We take one of Hurtigruten’s beautiful ship (MS Midnight Sun) overnight in a cabin up to Hammerfest, where we put a in Tromsø rented car ashore (VW Golf) and start towards Alta for a beautiful drive up the Alta river, drive left on from Kautokeino, through the kingdom of the patches (Engholm Husky), Samer Parlement in Karasjok) up to Kirkenes and 100 km down the bottom of the Pasvik Valley towards Russia. Pasvik Camping might offer us a cold swim in the river opposite Russia after a sauna? Then it is north again and via Kirkenes and Tana further up towards Kjøllefjord with two, three experiential days there, with friends from2004. Brothers Oddmund and Åke Ivar w. families.

Then, with the car in the cargo to Honningsvrå, three hours in the middle of the night (MSRichard With, named after the founder of the route). I wonder if we’re going to visit one of the two big SPA’s up on the top deck for the few hours this trip takes? Then it’s a shore one early morning and then quite a long road trip via Alta “home to Tromsø” for handing over our car at Airport.

A late-night flight takes us via Oslo home for Sunday. Home to the others who so hopefully one day can experience the trip too. First, though, via reading of our “Diary.”

Such!

PS:

It has proved expedite to distribute roles. When Christian’s got everything made up, we are ready. The trip itself becomes just “a piece of cake”. Luxury and not expense-wise unreasonable. We’re just good!

The first two weeks of September are ahead of autumn really setting in, but with beautiful birch wood colors. The mosquitoes are probably losing energy (disappearing). There will still be midnight sun and long days. We both expect car driving to be OK, also, as there are not many people living in Finnmark.

The cruising through empty wilderness will have many natural sights waiting us.

Elk, Reindeer (by the thousands), Brown Bears, Polar foxes, Eagles, Sea Gulls, Owls).

We plan to eat a lot of fish (shark, tuna, trout, salmon, cod, king crab, oysters, crabs etc., etc.).

I can’t wait to leave as a son and a father!

DAGBOG for 2020 rejse i Finnmark, Norge, med Christian.

Tromsø til Tromsø. 1. – 12. September 2020

Hanne og jeg har siden besøg hos Kerstin på Sørøya i 2004 altid været betaget af ”Lapland” dvs. FINNMARK, Nord Norge. Se vores rejsedagbøger til der 2004, -06, -09, og 2011.

HVAD ville være bedre nu, hvor alene, at end at bede sin søn om, at rejse en oplevelsesrejse, der samlet ville være ”Alt det Bedste”?

Søreme, om det ikke bare ser ud til at kunne være BINGO! Mere end det!

Lige nu finpudser Christian, efter et møde i sidste uge herom, en valgt rute mhp. at få al logistik til at falde på plads. Jeg oplever herunder, at min søn bare er god til det.

Fra, at jeg famlede rundt med forslag, der finansielt skulle gøre vores Adventure beskedent, får han ting til at folde sig elegant ud og samtidigt ”danne mening”. Vi skal selvfølgelig leve som på 1’ste klasse. Vores venner i Kjøllefjord (fra 2004 tur til Kerstin) er adviseret, da besøget hos dem skal være turens Højdepunkt. Jeg har lovet dem at bage wienerbrød og lave fiskeboller, som de fandtes i Skagen i gamle dage hos Signe og Thomas.

Start i TROMSØ vil give os alt det bedste ved Norges sidste af større byer på Vestkysten, her højt mod nord. Polarmuseum mm. Vi tager så sent om eftermiddagen en af Hurtigrutens flotte skib (MS Midnatssol) natten over i kahyt frem til Hammerfest, hvorfra vi sætter en i Tromsø lejet bil i land (VW Golf) og starter mod Alta for en smuk køretur op langs Alta elv, kører venstre om fra Kautokeino, gennem lappernes rige (Engholm Husky), Samerting i Karasjok) frem til Kirkenes og 100 km ned i bunden af Pasvikdalen ind imod Rusland (Pasvik Camping). Så er det nord på igen og via Kirkenes og Tana op imod Kjøllefjord med to, tre oplevelsesrige dage der, hos venner fra 2004. brødrene Oddmund og Åke Ivar m familier.

Derefter overfart med bil i lasten til Honningsvrå tre timer midt om natten (MS Richard With, opkaldt efter rutens grundlægger). Mon ikke vi skal i en af de to store SPA’er oppe agter på øverst dæk, de få timer den tur tager? Så er det fra borde en tidlig morgen og så en ganske lang biltur via Alta ”hjem til Tromsø” for aflevering af bil i Lufthavn. Et sent aftenfly bringer os via Oslo hjem til søndag. Hjem til de andre, som så forhåbentlig en dag kan opleve turen også? Først dog via læsning af vores ”Dagbog.”

SÅDAN !

PS:

Det har vist sig ekspedit at fordele roller. Når Christian har ”fået alt i hus”, er vi klar.

Selve turen bliver blot ”a piece of cake”. Luksus og ikke udgiftsmæssigt urimelig. Vi ER bare gode!

De to første uger af september er førend efterår rigtig sætter ind, men med flotte birketræs farver. Myggene er nok afdæmpet. Der er stadigvæk ganske megen midnatssol og lange dage.

Bilkørsel forventer vi begge bliver OK, da der ikke bor mange i Finnmark. Vi skal spise en masse fisk (haj, tun, ørred, torsk, kongekrabbe osv., osv.). Det bliver også herligt at bade i elvene, særlig efter Sauna? Vi ser nok en masse rensdyr, elge, brunbjørn? polarræve, ørne, ugler etc.

Jeg glæder mig til at rejse som søn og far!

Svend ”itsmesvend” eller måske (”itsussonandfar”) ?

Tiden, der fulgte!

REJSER i NORD med fly, bus, bil og med Hurtigruten.
Nord -Norge for femte gang (2004,-06. 09, 11 og nu september 2020).

Tromsø, Alta, Kautokeino, Karasjok, Honningsvrå, Kjøllefjord, Pasvik og Kirkenes.

Langt deroppe i Nord er alt så voldsomt. Søtunger 2m lange og 30 cm tykke, Kongekrabber 2 m. Havet er oftest flere 100 m dybt og derfra haler en ”juksemaskine” store torsk op. 6 stk. på linen, når den og dens blylod kommer op.

På markeder i Sao Paulo, Brasilien, ses i fastemåned meterlange BERGEN fiskekasser fulde af tykke, tørrede torsk til ”Kabliau”.

Den smukke Alta-skifer, kendt fra bankers facadebeklædninger, står skråt flere 100 km førend Ural, som engang bremsede Jordens skorpe op.

Midt på sommeren jages rensdyr af myggesværme op på bare klipper mod nord, hvor birkeskovene er ophørt at gro. Om vinteren er der mange måneder med ”mørketid”. Børn opdager det ikke, men voksne bliver deprimerede!

Highway 888, Europas nordligste hovedvej kræver kortegekørsel, når ikke slet og ret lukket med bomme pgra sne. Alle vores fem ture er i for- eller eftersommer.

Efterfølgende program er fra ”as time goes by!” eller også fra ”tiden, der fulgte!” min 80 års RWT-rejse, lige førend CORONA. Nu er jeg 81 år.

Min dejlige 48-årig søn, Christian, vil sætte tid til side for at ledsage på femte rejse. (Tromsø til Kirkenes & Pasvikdalen mod Rusland). Vores gamle fiskervenner fra første 2004 tur til Kerstin, dengang ung læge på Sørøya, er blevet adviseret om vores komme og dørene er gæstfrit åbne.

Christian var i mange år ”Captain” på Hideaway, vores dejlige Grinde, når han, Marie, Kerstin og skolekammerater sejlede fire ugers ture i Skærgårdene, sommer efter sommer. Han sætter nu tid af til mig!

En rig New York børsmægler planlagde engang en vandretur fra Alaska til Ildlandet i Syd med sine fire store børn. Depoter med alt muligt (både til at krydse floder etc.) blev lagt ud. Da de fem foer vild i Rockies Mountains valgte et familieråd, at storebror Steve ville være bedst til at føre gruppen ned?

De drog ud som 1 + 4, kom hjem til mor i NY som fem ”venner for Livet”.

Spejder Sport’s forårskatalog med to sider fra min hånd: ”Rejs bare, det skal nok gå!”, udkom 2 timer førend CORONA lukkede Danmark ned en lørdag i marts kl. 12.

Jeg vil efter 8 x 10 år fra fattigdom til Nu ikke med ind i FREMTIDEN. Havde allerede før 80 års rejsen dannet en mening om store, fremtidige Disruptions.

Nu har en sådan mening vokset sig anderledes og større. De fleste af Jordens 217? lande vil blive omstruktureret. Målene herfor må være, at så mange som muligt lever på et så højt niveau, som vel muligt.

Vores danske omstrukturering fra feudalisme til nu har taget 1.000 – 1500 år.

Amerikas dannelse 0 – 400 år

Brasiliens 0 – 200 år

”Kinas” 60 år ++

Mine efterkommere har og får travlt, men de er da også veluddannede og skolede.

JUST TRAVEL IT’S GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT

Dansk tekst findes længere nede i teksten.

March 2020
Not many 80-year-olds embark on solo earth journeys. But for Svend Aage Bang Nielsen from Copenhagen, the journey around the globe was a necessity to get on in life. Meet the globetrotter who, with his recognizable red cap and resilience, still travels the world thin and has clear positions on how we can both travel and save the climate.

It was probably in the cards that young Svend Aage from Funen would quickly get to experience places in a world that most Danes only know from books or the news. As a young engineer, he was quickly stationed in countries such as Iraq, North Korea and Samoa, where he helped to manage the construction of waterworks and cement factories. He now needed to be blown through.

For more than 50 years, Svend Aage’s wife, Hanne, was his regular companion and travel companion. But when she died, something new had to happen and quickly Svend Aage’s earth journey became a reality. “I was incredibly sad and it all had to be blown away. You could say that I needed to re-invent myself and my new AloneLife”, he explains from the Østerbro apartment, which is filled with books, maps, and plans for new trips. The southern hemisphere of the Earth has always formed the framework for most of Svend Aage’s travel life, and therefore it was natural that he laid out a route focusing on the places that matter most.

“In many of the countries I visited on the trip, I have friends, who were to be visited. Therefore, it occurred to me naturally to spend 8 weeks travelling the World over Thailand, Australia, New Zealand and South America. Traveled circularly for the sake of the Planet”.

Svend Aage’s background as a figure-focused engineer does not deny itself when it comes to ideas about how an active and rich travel life can be reconciled with our shared commitment to better look after climate and the environment. “We don’t have to stop travelling far away. But instead, we should start travelling less and ditch the star-shaped travel pattern, where we take many short trips out of Denmark” according to the travel enthusiast.

“Travel has to be appropriate for the planet and they will only be so, if we move circularly on longer trips and, for example, in the future,” he said, “travel only every three or four years”. The backpack (rucksack) is a gift”. The best gift you can give a young person is a backpack. With it, he or she can go out into the world and be built up as a human being.” And to all worried parents who wonder if it is now dangerous, Svend Aage says “that it’s going to be all right. Most situations can be met with a smile or killer gaze”.

Svend Aage, as his wife, Hanne (together, but often seconded separately) has experienced many of the World’s 197 countries. Everywhere there are people who want to help and show off their part of the world.

WordPress BLOC: http://www.itsmesvend.com.
80-year-old Svend Aage Bang Nielsen, through his work as an engineer, has visited and lived in more than 60 countries across the globe and became nationally known in the DR programme It´s me, Svend. In the broadcast, you could follow Svend Aage´s round trip. He threw himself into it to process the grief that arose after the death of his wife Hanne.

From the LOGBOOK: 6 sharp tips from Svend Aage
• Book a local as a guide. Then you´re guaranteed to discover places you´d otherwise never find.
• Don’t be afraid to ask for help. The world is full of people who will well.
• Bob Marley breaks the ice and livens up most hostels!
• Use hostels instead of hotels. They are cheap, good and filled with funny, educational people.
• a phone with Google Translate and gestures gets you longer than you think.
• Do not break your backpack on the journey. Therefore, use a cargo bag to protect it during transport.

REJS BARE DET SKAL NOK GÅ

Marts 2020
Det er ikke mange 80-årige, som kaster sig ud i solo-jordomrejser. Men for Svend Aage Bang Nielsen fra København, var rejsen rundt om kloden en nødvendighed for at komme videre i livet. Mød globetrotteren, der med sin genkendelige, røde kasket og ukuelighed stadig rejser verden tynd og har klare holdninger til, hvordan vi både kan rejse og redde klimaet.

Det lå nok i kortene, at unge Svend Aage fra Fyn hurtigt ville komme til at opleve steder i verden, de fleste danskere kun kender fra bøger eller nyhederne. Som ung ingeniør blev han nemlig hurtigt udstationeret i lande som Irak, Nordkorea og Samoa, hvor han var med til at styre opførelsen af vandværker og cementfabrikker. Trængte til at blive blæst igennem.

I mere end 50 år var Svend Aages kone, Hanne hans faste følgesvend og rejsemakker. Men da hun døde, skulle der ske noget nyt og hurtigt blev Svend Aages jordomrejse en realitet. ”Jeg var utrolig ked af det og det hele skulle blæses væk. Man kan sige, at jeg trængte til at genopfinde mig selv og mit nye alene-liv”, forklarer han fra Østerbro-lejligheden, som er fyldt med bøger, kort og planer om nye rejser. Den sydlige halvkugle af Jorden har altid dannet rammen om det meste af Svend Aages rejseliv og derfor var det naturligt, at han lagde en rute med fokus på de steder, der betyder mest. ”I mange af de lande, jeg besøgte på turen, har jeg venner som skulle besøges. Derfor faldt det mig naturligt at bruge 12 uger på at rejse jorden rundt over Thailand, Australien, New Zealand og Sydamerika. Rejs cirkulært for planetens skyld”

Svend Aages baggrund som talfokuseret ingeniør fornægter sig ikke, når det gælder tanker om, hvordan et aktivt og rigt rejseliv kan forenes med vores fælles forpligtelse om at passe bedre på klima og miljø. ”Vi behøver ikke at holde op med at rejse langt væk. Men i stedet skal vi begynde at rejse mindre og droppe det stjerneformede rejsemønster, hvor vi tager mange korte ture ud fra Danmark”, mener rejseentusiasten.

”Rejser skal være hensigtsmæssige for kloden og det bliver de kun, hvis vi bevæger os cirkulært på længere ture og f.eks. kun rejser hvert tredje eller fjerde år”. Rygsækken er en gave ”Den bedste gave, du kan give et ungt menneske, er en rygsæk. Med den kan han eller hun nemlig drage ud i verden og blive bygget op som menneske”. Og til alle bekymrede forældre der spekulerer, om det nu er farligt, siger Svend Aage ”at det nok skal gå. De fleste situationer kan klares med et smil eller dræberblik”.

Svend Aage har som sin hustru, Hanne (sammen men ofte udstationeret hver for sig) oplevet mange af Verdens 197 lande. Overalt findes der fremmede mennesker, der vil hjælpe og vise deres del af Verden frem.

WordPress BLOC’en: http://www.itsmesvend.com
80-årige Svend Aage Bang Nielsen har, gennem sit arbejde som ingeniør, besøgt og boet i mere end 60 lande over hele kloden og blev med et trylleslag landskendt i DR-programmet It’s me, Svend. I udsendelsen kunne man følge Svend Aages jordomrejse. Den kastede han sig ud i for at bearbejde sorgen, der opstod efter konen Hannes død.

Fra LOGBOGEN: 6 skarpe tips fra Svend Aage
• book en lokal som guide. Så vil du med garanti opdage steder, du ellers aldrig ville finde.
• vær ikke bange for at bede om hjælp. Verden er fyldt af mennesker, som vil dig det godt.
• Bob Marley bryder isen og sætter fut i de fleste hostels!
• brug hostels i stedet for hoteller. De er billige, gode og fyldt af sjove, lærerige mennesker.
• en telefon med Google Translate og fagter får dig længere end du tror.
• din rygsæk må ikke gå i stykker på rejsen. Brug derfor en cargobag til at beskytte den under transport.

MIGRATING BIRDS -Backpackers

Dansk tekst findes længere nede i teksten.

Do Backpackers live in symbiosis with nature? Yes, hugely. They leave their upbringing to follow the Routes. Settle down and forage. Holds together without a chieftain. Constitutes a breed. Live together in harmony with goals in mind for the journey itself. You’re out to meet with others. Finally, away from mom and dad.

Many Backpackers must grab a lot of things between childhood and study or artisan training. Travel two and two, to have one to plan with, take care of each other, share experiences with, etc. Right now, mobile phones can’t be ignored, but it will probably go over? The Phone has now (almost) made the Camera obsolete! Your phone can translate, so talking to your taxi driver is becoming easy.

Backpackers make our nation strong. Not only by ripening but more valuable by understanding “ONE World” Find space in self-determination- and community mind,
very strong in a much-condensed manner. Language is tested and you learn how small you are! You can also be an environmental person, for free?

Migratory birds, as an example, storks that overfly the mountains of the Himalayas, Starlings, which in January fly at 100 m at a time in millions up through the date palms along the Euphrates- and Tigris rivers on their way to northern Europe.

MIGRERENDE FUGLER – Backpackere

Lever backpackere i symbiose med naturen? Ja, enormt. De forlader deres opdragelse for at følge ruterne. Læg dig ned og foder. Holder sammen uden en høvding. Udgør en race. Lev sammen i harmoni med mål i tankerne for selve rejsen. Du skal ude med andre. Endelig væk fra mor og far.

Mange backpackere skal få fat i en masse ting mellem barndom og studie eller håndværkertræning. Rejse to og to, for at have en at planlægge med, passe på hinanden, dele erfaringer med osv. Lige nu kan mobiltelefoner ikke ignoreres, men det vil sandsynligvis gå over? Telefonen har nu (næsten) gjort kameraet forældet! Din telefon kan oversætte, så det bliver let at tale med din taxachauffør.

Backpackers gør vores nation stærk. Ikke kun ved at modne, men mere værdifulde ved at forstå “EN VERDEN” Find plads i selvbestemmelses- og samfundssind,
meget stærk på en meget kondenseret måde. Sprog testes, og du lærer, hvor lille du er! Du kan også være en miljøperson gratis?

Migrationsfugle er som et eksempel storke, der flyver over bjergene i Himalaya, Starlings, der i januar flyver 100 m ad gangen i millioner op gennem datapalmene langs Eufrat- og Tigris-floderne på vej til Nordeuropa.
