Min bokdebut...

Jag skriver på min bokdebut nu, en karaktärsdriven ”slice of life”, där människors liv, glädje och sorg översköljs av den antagonistiska kraften i det fruktansvärda. En historia om hur karaktärerna stöter ihop, ibland våldsamt och ibland knappt märkbart i en värld där människor sluter sig, hur skulle du reagera när du stirrar ner i avgrunden?

Några kort på en offentlig toalett!

Lite matrial för en scen med karaktären Hassan innan han kliver ut i vinternkylan...

Jag har precis skrivit klart det första utkastet för karaktären Grigore, nedan är inspirationsbilden till bussen som han tar från Rumänien till Malmö, varför väljer han att åka till Sverige? Hur upplever han vårt land? Historien rasslar fram på vägar genom Europa.

My first post regarding my new project.

I started this blog in order to document my bicycle trip in 2013 and during that time I planned to continue to travel the world by bicycle, however life decided on a different and wonderful course-change.

I found my M and together with her I became a parent and a father.

So my new project is to pick up another passion of mine - writing.

I have decided to try and write a book and I want to share my learning experience with anyone who finds it interesting. The book will be in Swedish and should it ever become published perhaps I will attempt to translate it.

So from now on, if you don't speak Swedish, google translate is your friend.

Boken i dess nuvarande format är tänkt att handla om tio människor, deras liv och hur dom påverkar varandras vardag. En händelse påverkar alla deras liv dramatiskt.

Vad vet du egentligen om människan som står bakom dig i kön på Pressbyrån?

Everyone has a diffrent story...

This is a couple of Swedish guys who went by bicycle quite a lot further than I did, still, I hear things they talk about and understand them and where they come from.

The Big Trip. (They talk mostly in Swedish.)

Leaving Berat...

I recorded this... http://youtu.be/kW-jDysAzCc ...slightly off my face. I got a few of those silly videos in store for a rainy day...

Me and my fiancée Marie on spring vacation in Greece.

A wonderful way to start summer is to leave Stockholm an early morning when there is a bewildered blizzard roaring outside the cab window on the ride to Arlanda airport. We went to Makrigialos on the island of Crete in Greece.

Snow!

 One of the days there we rented bicycles (suprised?) and went out for a spin around the surrounding area, it was a really lovely day.

Marie looking sharp and focused for the upcoming curve.

Being the awesome fiancée she is she suggested I bike of some steam and head out on a more difficult ride later that same day. I decided to ride up from Makrigialos to Pefki a small mountain village, it was on a hiking trail that easily made those hard roads from Albania seem like Autobahn. This was a hiking trail with steep, steel stairs and mostly impossible to ride by bicycle, it was amazing fun tho to get the bike through there anyhow.

Nice view eh?

You don't ride bicycles up those stairs unless you are Danny Macaskill.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chicken goes with lemon right?

Below are pictures from and towards the beach just a stone-throw away from our room.

Making a pose learned from dad...

Goat looked like he could kick some ass.

Thistle looks sharp.

It was a really good week and it brought back many fond memories and created even more ones together with the love of my life, Marie.
