2011, what a year!

Dear Friends and readers! 2011 is now the past, and what an amazing year I had!

I’ve been on 18 flights, 15000km with train(yes 15 000km)

I walked on the great wall of China

I held an eagle

I saw the deepest freshwater lake in the world

I’ve been in the area with the fewest people on the planet

I’ve been to one of the worlds finest beaches

I’ve seen hundreds of fruitbats

I’ve been in the oldest jungle on the planet

I’ve took my diving-license

I’ve seen monkeys and even held a few

I’ve been to the place where the movie Avatar got there inspiration

I’ve seen the tallest building in the world

I’ve been to one of the biggest cities on the planet

I’ve experienced the biggest national migration on the planet

Seen the white nights of St. Petersburg

Seen the biggest stilthouse settlement on the planet

Seen the most expensive mosque ever built

I’ve been a passenger in the biggest aeroplane on the planet

I’ve met the most amazing people and friends.

2011 have been a truly amazing year and 2012 will hopefully be equally awesome! YouMeAndTheWorld.com will be continued. I’ll fill you out with the details later, first up is New York! Then a way longer trip in June until the money run out :)

Route

This is more or less the route that I’m taking :)

Route

Well, it’s not easy to look 6 month ahead in time, I could be anywhere, doing whatever. Things will probably not go according to plan, but this is what I have in mind..

First up is Russia, I’m going to take the Trans Siberian Express to Beijing. Getting on a plane from Oslo to St. Petersburg and jumping on the train from there.

I’m going to travel around in China for as long as I can, big cities, small towns and some unforgettable nature is awaiting! It will be a blast! The Li River cruises between some of natures special mountains will be awesome.

After China I’m headed to the Philippines. I’ll snorkel around and about, surf on the famous Tsunamis, and run from volcanos, gotta take advantage of the travel insurance ;)

I want tips and advise about Philippines, so hit the comment fields below, or send me an e-mail at the contact page!

After Philly I’m jumping on a plane to Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia. This is an awesome place to begin my journey around on Borneo. Check out google maps if you don’t know where Borneo is.

Some of «gods» most wonderful masterpieces are made here! Borneo got it all, exotic wildlife not found any other places in the world, the cure for aids might be hidden on this islands forests. Borneo can offer jungles as thick as ..hmmm.. It’s amazing, let’s leave it at that. Borneo also houses some seriously beautiful beaches, rivers, coral reefs, and under-and above water wildlife, again, you cannot find animals and fishes other places on earth! Check out my pictures when I get that far!

After my stay at Borneo I’ll go further south to Indonesia, visiting Bali and probably more islands in the area, nothing special about it, tourism ruined it years ago! Shame…

Anyways, I’ll learn to surf somewhere in Indonesia, and I’ll probably snorkel around down there to, stay tuned, I’m sure some cool pics will come.

So, Malaysia is my next stop. Malaysia is one of the most epic places in Asia because of the shipping routes passes the country. Malaysia is a meeting-place for western countries and eastern countries. You’ll find all sorts of religion and with religion comes food, with food comes spices and so on. Looking forward to eating excellent food!

Thailand! I’m meeting up with a friend of mine, you can check out her blog here. It will be awesome to meet up with her. After so many months alone it’s gonna be good to finally meet someone I know from back home! Together we’re gonna dance to the morning comes at the full-moon parties and ride on elephants!

I don’t know how long we’re gonna travel together, so it’s not easy to plan this part of the trip.. I’m sure it will be a blast ;)

Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos next up, a lot of backpackers in this area, so this will be awesome! After all of this I’m headed towards India.

India will be my last country to travel in, I want to make the most out of it, it is a extremely interesting country, I’m looking forward to it a lot!

It would be a bit to much to write every place and every thing I’m gonna do. But this is at least a taste of my journey. It will probably be the most awesome thing I’m ever gonna experience in my life, so stay tuned ;)
