Culture
Sweden is not only meatballs and Ikea!
Why this blog? Because travelling gives meaning to a meaningless life. By travelling, I believe we reach the purpose of our own existence, thus understanding why we are here, on this planet. By travelling, I come to a better understanding of human life, I get connected to the divinity. Seeing places means to me getting the sacred down in the profane, to use the words of the Romanian historian of religions Mircea Eliade. Different places are like the pieces of a puzzle and by visiting these different places, I feel like putting together these small puzzle pieces to create the bigger picture to which I, like you, also belong. So why not join me on this adventure of creating the big picture?
