Vermont

Vermont is a beautiful state with rolling green hills, some pretty little towns and an interesting element of counterculture. This used to be a rather conservative place, but things changed with a large influx of hippies in the 60’s. Nowadays there are countless organic farms run by...

Boston, MA

On the 3rd of September I landed in scorchingly hot Boston with a jetlag and a slight fever, a little bit anxious to be in a new country and not having settled in properly. After checking in at a youth hostel I decided to begin my trip with some sightseeing in the central parts of town like...

New Hampshire and Maine

After a few days with the Kuchels in Vermont, I went on a four-day road trip around New Hampshire and Maine. New Hampshire, famous for its ridiculous state slogan “Live Free or Die”, had some very beautiful country roads that I found by accident after having taken a wrong turn with the car....

New York

Arriving to New York by train is definitely an impressive experience, seeing the daunting skyline getting closer and closer, and finally arriving right in the middle of the hustle and bustle. I spent eight exhausting days in New York. During my stay I did lots of gazing at skyscrapers,...

Washington DC

To make my travels around the country easier and cheaper, I purchased an AMTRAK card, which gave me unlimited train travel on the national rail network. These trains are very comfortable but are also incredibly slow and never arrive on time. Fortunately I had some books and my MP3 player to keep...

Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Through the Couchsurfing website I had arranged to stay with Joe, a friendly guy who shares my appreciation for ska music. Joe was kind enough to come and pick me up at the station after my 24-hour train ride from Washington. He also gave me a key so that I could come and go as I pleased, and...

Wisconsin

Jay Bergstrand, a second cousin to my father, has been extremely kind in helping me organise a lot of my trip. He has a strong interest in genealogy and our Swedish family. Through his help I managed to connect with many of my American relatives throughout the journey, for which I am very...

Home home!

In case anyone hadn’t noticed yet or the length of our stay here in lovely Austin was unclear, we’re home home. Like back in Austin finding a house and getting jobs. We won’t be running off to another far away land now that the holidays have come to an end…though it is inevitable we will again...
