I went to sea early and worked a number of year in ships that mostly went to European ports but also the occasional trip to North Africa.
After my year in the Royal Navy I went to America and Australia, after several trips between the two continents I left the ships and stayed in Australia for seven year.

In 1959 I signed on an English ship in Port Adelaide and came back to Europe. I then traveled back home in order to call on my parents, and I never got away again. Maybe just as well.
Then came a time of different jobs, improving my education, marriage and children. For the last 25 years of my professional life I worked for a company making roof tiles. It now covers a big part of Sweden.

I became a beekeeper in 1981, and have now in my retirement about 50 beehives going. I sell the honey, candles from the combs, and other products from the bees.

In the last few years, I have tried to remember and to write about some events from my time as a "traveler". I shall put my stories on the web, maybe someone will think it's fun to read them. Maybe someone from the "old days" still exists and recognizes some of the stories, maybe even an old buddy.

In 1980 I became ill with cancer. After some surgery's and one chemo treatment I'm still going, maybe not strong, but........
