I'm on the way!

I left Stockholm 18.12 two days ago, and now I'm back again!
I'll try to post some videos from my trip. It might be easier in the beginning of the trip so I really have to catch this moment!

Here's the first one, on the train from Stockholm to Kiruna:

After close to sixteen hours on the empty train I finally arrived to Kiruna:

When I arrived up there I was a bit confused, but after a shorter walk around the town I decided to try my hitchhiking skills. It was a bit hard to get close to the road, some ten metres of snow made it a bit complicated. But after half an hour of walking I got tired of it and just run through all the snow. A bit cold and wet after that, but I was finally standing along the road!
Two hours later, when about 30 cars had passed (they don't seem to like driving during the winter) I ended my first try. About 25 degrees below zero and 25 kilos of stuff on my back, the result of that was cold and tired. I gave it another try after a cup of coffee, but with the same result. Back to the train station and on the same train which brought me there.

A lot of tourists on the train back to Stockholm again, and I actually had quite a good time. In some way this small trip up north might seem like a big fail, but I don't think so. The whole thing about this journey is that I'm going to follow my own feelings and wishes, and that is exactly what I did.

Back in Stockholm now for some hours, but very soon I'm off again! The train to Malmö will departure from the Central Station at 6 pm and I'll be at that train. The big Kiruna U-turn is made and now I'm going south!

See you later my friends! All my love to you!
