I started traveling very young!
Before  school age, I had visited Sweden (Värmland) with my mother.
I also traveled often alone by train from Helsinki to Torneå to visit my remarried father.
I spent one year in Örnskölsvik in Sweden as a war child at the age of 7.
When I was 14 I traveled alone as the only passenger on a freighter
(s/s Akershus) from Helsinki to Oslo via Gdynia in Poland.
At the age of 17, I hitchhiked to Great Britain through Central Europe
and stayed in Oxford for 4 months.
My first trip overseas was 1960 to USA by an unpressurized DC4.
After that my zeal for travel continued:

Here some of the most interesting destinations in the past.
