US REPORT

May 18, 2014 | Hitchin Home, Iceland, North America, USA
We were going to do it cheap: wave our thumbs and crash in random peoples homes. For a number of reasons that never happened. The planned hitching adventure turned into a comfortable and classic rental road trip with daily motel shelter. It was a terrible choice for our thin wallets but with only twelve days to play with it gave us freedom and time; we avoided quite a lot of stress and sweat.

Jag sitter med gam-nacke i kontorlandskapet på Gävlegatan i Stockholm. Det är mörkt ute. Idag är det 365 dagar sedan den lyckligaste dagen i mitt liv. Det är ett år sedan jag cyklade in i ett soligt New York med 5000 kilometer kontinent i ryggen. Tiden går. Snart tar jag nya tag. ...
