I never did an introductory so thought I should share what kind of life I lived a year back.

My name is Snorre Lothar von Gohren Edwin, and i'm a coder by heart and profession. I love making things, and if I can use my computer to make them on the internet, I'm utterly happy! But i'm also a vivid traveler and have been around the world! And last year I got the chance to travel and code! What a perfect combination that is! I think everybody should be able to do a really long travel at some point in their life, either if they are lucky enough to work at the same timer or not, doesnt matter. It's the traveling that matters!

**I really miss that life and seek inspiration and motivation to do it again, so if you do some kind of remote work, let me know with a comment!**

I was lucky enough to get a position so I worked 50% for a company in Norway, having some time off while still having time to really experience the country I was in. I was working with some internal systems so I didn't have to worry about customers policies and stuff.

But I started my trip freeskiing in the canadian mountains, Revelstoke to be precise, as the first picture shows. It was the perfect combination, skii 4-5 hours a day, work 5-6 hours. That alone could have been the perfect life, except that the winter doesnt last forever, unless you go to the other side of the world!

From there i went on to do some motorbiking in California. I rode from LA to San Fransisco and back again in about two weeks, stopping and just enjoying life! I traveled around and did some coding at different places

From there my trip continued to Australia where I went roadtripping and other fun things. My friend was living in Australia so I took my vacation there and didnt code for about three weeks. I traveled on to Japan to experience the country of mysteries. I got to say that Japan truly is a great country! The people, the culture and the food is awesome! But I found some cool places to code there aswell.

### Grotto coding

### Hiroshima coding

Maybe there was some radioactivity that could inspire my coding in hiroshima.

The Japan trip had to end because of visa expiration so I continuet to Vietnam where I rode around on a motorbike for about 3 weeks. I is very difficult to get some work done when you are riding on your motorbike for 4-5 hours a day and have to experience the place you have arrived aswell. But I did get to do some 

### Jungle river coding

Here I actually got into some proper visa troubles, because I never got to renew my visa I had to bail the country. I found me some cheap tickets to Bangkok so I could get out. But unfortunatley I was 2 days late for the airport. They took me to the side, in a police room and told me that what I was doing was illegal. I tried to apologize and tell them that I had tried to renew my visa, but nobody could help me. So they decided to fine me the amount of Vietnamese money I had on me, and let me leave the country. I decided to go to the other side of the world, to be able to say that I had circled the earth. I ordered some tickets to South America from Bangkok, and I was lucky to find some cheap ones. I arrived in Brazil and lived there for about a month, traveling around and coding.

### Coding at the end of the world

I hope I provided some inspiration and hope to find some myself to be able to go out and about to do this again!
