Stories from my adventures around the world
Early morning is relative but this one felt like it. Got up at 7 to pack the last stuff and then breakfast. Still not used to the Korean breakfast. Said thanks and goodbye to our IST support Henrik and Jacob who, with colleagues, have helped us through this historical Jamboree. …
Breakfast was served between 7:30 and 8:30, so we got up to get some. I was still really tired and would have preferred to sleep for a couple of hours more, but on the other hand, I was quite hungry and probably needed the food. However, I have a hard …
My alarm was set to 7:30 but Jonas got up a bit earlier. Another shower and then head down to breakfast. They told us that we had to be there at 8. During the breakfast, which contained a BLT sandwich from Subway and a juice box, we got informed that …
The alarm went off at 4 and I got up quickly so I shouldn’t fall asleep again. Took a few minutes before my colleagues joined me and we started to tear down our office. I took it upon myself to start delivering big bags to the units for storing tents …

Today I was working the evening shift so I tried once more to sleep in. At seven it was an unbearable 32 degrees in the tent so I got up, got dressed, and moved over to our resting tent with the beds. Dozed off for some time but it was …
Yesterday I was fine to volunteer for the morning shift and food distribution, starting at 5. When the alarm went off I wasn’t as eager as the day before. It was a beautiful morning though. Quickly dressed and set off to the food tent. We started about 10 minutes late …
Since I got in bed at three in the morning and didn’t start my shift until 12 I was trying to stay in bed as long as possible. At seven it got too hot in the inner tent, so I crawled out of it, to the outer tent, bringing my …
Almost slept until 7, then the temperature reached 30 and I couldn’t stay in bed 🙂 Got up and went for breakfast, I had asked my team lead to sleep in. I sat at the Swedish CMT flag and spoke to a couple of Swedes working at another Subcamp. I …
