The man. I am an adventure-loving twenty-something man from Trondheim, Norway who absolutely loves traveling and seeing new places and people. I was born with Cerebral Palsy, and am dependent on a wheelchair. With this trip I would like to show that adventure is possible in spite of a handicap.
The mission. I have been planning this trip on and off since last Autumn, and a couple of months ago I finally decided to go for it. I will be attempting to hitch-hike from Trondheim, Norway and go as far south as I can get within a two-week period.
The return. Though I like the idea of hitch-hiking back north, I realise time might not be on my side. I have therefore gotten into talks with traveling agent Berg-Hansen Reisebureau AS, who will be supporting my adventure by covering the flight tickets back home.
The blog. I will be reporting on my trip progress using my phone's camera and e-mail function. This allows me to instantly publish any picture or comment I might have to the blog directly. Keep in mind that I have no opportunity to moderate or edit my posts, so any mistakes, spelling errors, or humiliating situations will remain.
Where am I? In the right-hand pane of the front page you will find a Google maps-snippet showing my last reported location. I will try to report on this as often as the technology and my wallet will allow. This system will be accurate within 200-300 meters, so do not worry if I appear to be reporting from the middle of a river (Mum).
Why English? / Hvorfor engelsk?
(EN) I am writing my blog in English for the benefit of my non-Norwegian friends and acquaintances. It will also make it easier for those I will meet along the way to follow the journey.
(NO) Jeg skriver denne bloggen på engelsk slik at mine utenlandske venner og bekjente kan ta del. Det gjør det også lettere for dem jeg møter underveis å følge turen videre.
