This writing in the first part is a description of my post WWII personal memories as a young boy and a young man in Europe, and later my journeys on five continents. Nevertheless, it is not a travel book by any means. On the other hand, outside of my stories it might give a snapshot of countries, their political and economical backgrounds, and people. Including here my country of origin, Sweden, South Africa, Rhodesia, Ethiopia, Australia and foremost the USA. Although I do not writing about them separately, I am referring often to Germany, Austria and France where I have been living as well. My writings also historical facts of the aftermath of the WWII in Europe where I was one of the many who has suffered enormously, being often close to the extinction. I am looking at my life as a journey; nevertheless, this writing about physical journeys. I am writing in most detail about Sweden where I did live for years, and some African countries, from where had hard times to get back to Europe, then Australia, where I was an opal miner, and later university professor in Sydney, and of course lots of thoughts and stories of the USA where I find finally home, and enclosing one of my Canadian adventure. Several other countries being mentioned in this book where I have been - although never as a tourist. Since I did write this book in the mid 1980's, therefore, some parts are outdated, however, perhaps you could look at it as - what you have missed if you born later. I have done some "updating" but somewhere along the process I have given up on it, thinking that it is better leave it as it is.
