Introduction

Who? I'm a vegan guy from Finland, into travelling, languages, hiking, running, swimming, dancing tango, cooking, reading, writing, trying new things -- anything that doesn't hurt others.

What? For years I've had a dream of travelling around the world, at a slow pace, spending possibly decades at it. I want to see every place there is, spend a few months everywhere, and figure out what the nicest place was then.

Where? I'm starting from China. I've actually spent over two years in China when starting this blog, and other countries are likely to see less time spent in them. But China was always an interest to me.

When? I'm starting the "charity business" that should fund the travels and give me location freedom in 2008. Before that, I'm based in Beijing, but certainly travelling around.

How? How to travel would be mostly by ground transportation, I want to avoid air travel mostly due to the pollution but also because it's just more fun to see the gradual changes to different cultures and environments. How to fund the travels is something that I'm about to start soon, a company of my own providing services that can be done from anywhere for other companies, and most importantly, putting all profits into charity.
