    About me:

    -born in Italy, Pordenone. I visited: Rome, Venice, Naples, Palermo, Siena, Bologna, Trieste, Genova and a lot of minor cities.

    Belgium: Liege and Brussels
    Czech Republic: Prague and Ceski Krumlov (or somethig like that, lol)

    Slovenia

    I just passed by train in Switzerland and France.

    I'm trying to save so I can travel more next year, but since I don't know if I'll have a job after next june, I must save in case I have to be unemployed. That sucks.

    I speak italian and some english, and like 10 words of arabic, french, spanish, portuguese. Some words of wolof.

    Sorry Thick Shawty haven´t seen your question before..

    I don´t really have favourities, but most adventurous ones.

    Canada.. we (a journalist and me) were driving along the Alaska Highway with a camper, it was 1989 as much as I remember. After around a week he started to "come closer" and after my rejection we had stress only.. So, one day we had a big quarrel and he kicked my stuff and myself out of this camper. I don´t know 100 miles to the next gas station.. This Highway was not used a lot, some truckers you saw each day. So, I was standing there at the road with my suitcases 100 miles or something like this away from the next gas station or any civilization. I was sitting on one of my bags when a group of Harley Davidson bikers stopped and asked me, what the hell I am doing here?

    I was really desperate at this moment, because all was planned totally different. I had to finish my story..

    So they took me with them to a Harley Davidson Festival, where all bikers meet from Canada and Alaska, I think once a year..

    There I got to know somebody who travelled with me on his bike the next days, he was a funny guy..He was very proud of being be a part of my story and was very interested, too. I was seeing a lot of animals and national parks, the names and all this I cannot remember.. I remember a lot of black flies at a lake, a gas station with a huge amount of hats at the roof..Two older men, living in summer at this station in winter in Florida..and I remember a huge Mall, in Edmonton? with an enormous aquarium.. need to look in my notices of this travel..

    My second luck was that shortly after my arrival in Canada we had a meeting with the minister of tourism, He is or was a german man. So, I was able to call him, to explain what problems I have and to ask him, what I shall do now. Breaking up or going on with his assistance? He send me than a friend and a new camper (i was not allowed to rent and drive, I was 22 at this time). So I was able to move further on.. We were travelling together till Fairbanks. Afterwards I was going, flying to the Niagara Waterfalls, a small wish fom this minister to make a second picture story..

    So, another country next time..

    I totally missed this one - so sorry.
    Huvudsta and Solna eh? in my area:) I was born and raised on Ostermalm but lived for a long time in Sundbyberg before I left for the US.
    Nice area acctually, I like Solna and Huvudsta a lot..Is that where you live?
    Do you have any videos from your performance? or pictures, I think we all want to see!!!!!!

    Yes, its true about Swedes going to the US, Santa Monica is FULL of Swedes:). I swear everywhere I go, I eventually run into a Swede. One would think the country would be empty by now:)

    Languages:

    French/German, not native but nearly fluent and enough to work;

    Rudimentary Spanish.

    And, on a very good day, out of bed the right way and after a strong cup of tea, I've been known to manage a few words of English.

    Just loved the hustle & bustle of London...couldn't get enough of it really. Maybe it was because I was working on the Monopoly board.

    Would love to go back to America and see New York, New Orleans & Miami at some stage, as well as see Spain, Russia, Egypt and Africa.

    As for languages...I learnt Latin in school which has of course come in handy for when I meet all of those toga wearing Romans on my lifes journey.
