"Gazellen" gazellen's Profile

Hey, and wellcome to my homepage !
I have always been fascinated by travelling, and since I was child I have always been travelling some how, if not for real then in my fantasy.

For me travelling is about meeting all kind of different people and cultures. I´m very interested in all kind of tribes and etnic minorities, they can teach me something about life, that is good for a westerner with a the typical middel class background, to learn about.

So travelling becomes also about meeting myself, and learning more about myself, in some other environment. I also travel, because of a long lasting need to have periods in my life where I cut things down to a very basic lifestyle without television, mobile phone, computer etc...

Some "non travellers" have tried to convince me that travelling is a vaste of money, but thats not what I feel !

It has not always been easy for me to travel, sometimes it can actually be harder than a full time job. I have been squeezed into the most impossible positions in the most imposible forms of transportations, been running after toilets with the most imposible forms of diarrhea, been scammed, been sleaping with a scorpion, dealing with parasits and much more....

Where ever I have been I have met sufferance and happiness, but in some places there are more sufferance than in other, and not always human justice.

A good reward for me has been, that you can bring the travellers mind back home were you live, and learn to be a better traveller not only out there but also in your daily life...

What do I bring when travelling ? My back pack, commen sense, love and the 5 senses (listen, feel, look, taste and smell).

Tall girl in a small bed !

Some times it´s not so easy to fit in with my long legs !

I like all kind of travels. The funniest thing that I have ever done is to travel with some nice zebus...

Paris c´est comme une seur jumelle pour moi !

Paris is my second home. I have lived there for 4 years. I often return to this nice city to vistit my friends and practise my french.

Cafe globen. A cafe for travellers in Copenhagen. Nice place to hang out and get inspiration for future travels.

A gazelle(n) could roam free in King's Canyon. You should check it out! Watch out for bears...
