One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I bicycle throw Scotland 2011 by my self. Also in 2011 me and my best friend bought a car for 250 euro. An Nissan Micra car from 1986. And we want to make the cheapest journey you could do in a car. This car take just 5 liters in 100 km. So our first goal was Denmark, and the car made it there. So or next goal became Germany, and so it continued and we ended up back home again with driving throw 18 european countrys and drove 7000 km in a 25 year old car. We slept mostly in the car and some guesthouse. We showering in the truckdriver stops. It cost about 2 euro. And we cook our food in a gas stove. The year after I took the very same car to Northest part of Europe where you can go by car and looked at the midnightsun. And then on the same trip I whent down 400 km south and climbed Swedens highest mountain. My many kayak trips is on top of the list when I talk about amazing things that I have done. I also have been to over 40 countries in my lifetime. And more countries will come I hope. But the two most amazing things I have ever done was to be around when my two daughters was born 1993 and 2005.
