Hi!

I’m Lars Aldman and this is my travel blog. For many years I worked for Swedish national radio and tv, but now I’m a happy retired traveller exploring the world in the company of V, my beloved wife. Our goals are often countries and places where there ‘s not so much tourism, but my hope and purpose with these stories is that  you too will be inspired to see the world. Hope we meet out there!

From our readers:

”Thanks for your informative travel stories. Thanks to you I’m now really intrerested in going to the Basque countries soon!”

 ”Thanks for a fine story and good luck!”

 ”What I like most in your travel stories is that you see the whole picture, and can describe also the hard and ugly truth for instance about slavery and townships. Amazing beautiful pictures!”

Resebloggar finns det gott om men vi har en lite annan tanke med våra berättelser. Vi vill främst beskriva våra upplevelser av udda platser, människorna vi möter och miljöer som är rätt annorlunda mot vad vi möter hemma.

Därför hamnar vi ibland i avlägsna indianbyar i Guatemalas berg eller bland andetroende bybor på en ö i Indonesien. Men också på mer kända platser som Machu Picchu i Peru eller sandstränderna i Goa. Allt sett genom våra ögon och kameror.

Den som vill ha restips får också sitt - varje resmål har en avdelning med sånt vi kan rekommendera. Eller undvika. Vårt fokus är framför allt att sporra er läsare att göra som vi - resa rätt ut i den vida världen.
