• "goals" or rather wishes: at least one new nordic country (photography trip) per year & one small(ish) autumn trip
• i feel like the older i get/the more i travel (?), the less interested i am in "luxury" (whatever that even means). sure, luxury can be nice and i love to feel the comfort of a nice place & have nice dinners and everything. but that's not necessarily a priority for me. i want to camp, stay in mountain huts, volunteer, work and travel, hike, bikepack, house sit, wildcamp, hitchhike (not alone tho), travel to unconventional places, couchsurf, see what's possible, try to travel super low budget, seek discomfort, experience culture shocks.
