TravelTwin’s travel buddies

During the years we have travelled not only solo but also with a wide range of close friends. Some of them are:

	Hans Madsen Pedersen Homepage: HMPAdventures.dk We have performed several journeys with Hans in Europe, but also Indonesia, Malaysia, USA, Canada, Thailand, Singapore, and Morocco. With Hans it always involves mountaineering and diving, which is also our interest! Hans has lived for longer periods in Germany, Italy, Thailand, China, and the Philippines in combination with studies and work. He is educated a professional dive instructor and has climbed several mountains and volcanoes in Europe, California, North-Africa, and South-East Asia.
	Troels Chang Lykke Jepsen Homepage: smudo.dk We have traveled with TJ on treks in Sweden and Norway. Also, we visited him in Thailand as he was living there. TJ has also lived in Australia, PNG and South Africa, and currently resides in Paris, France. In the future we hope to do some maniac travels with TJ. Especially with regards to West Africa, Madagascar etc. we’ll be in need of his fluent French!
	Niels Kristian Hansen Skovmand Homepage: woodman.dk We have traveled together with Niels to Norway, Greece, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand with focus on, for example, diving in Indonesia and mountaineering in Borneo. Niels is a keen out-door enthusiast and especially enjoys long and remote treks in temperate and arctic climates. Therefore, Niels has explicitly stated that he wants to stay “in the North”, i.e. Scandinavia, for a couple of years. We hope that Niels, once, will re-discover the “third world”, e.g. on a mountaineering trip to Papua New Guinea together with the twins?
	Thomas Rasmussen Currently has a dead link homepage We have performed sublime mountaineering together with Tom in Sweden and Norway, and together with Tom we were educated divers in Thailand back in 2001. During university studies we did a winter ascent of Mt. Tubkal in the Atlas Mountains in Morocco as well as a shorter expedition into Sahara near the borders with Algeria. Recently, we went to Turkey, Kurdistan and Iran together. Tom has been living in Australia and Thailand where he worked as a diving instructor. Together with Tom we have made a pact on mountaineering so as to climb at least one high mountain every second year. Which one will be the next, Tom?
	Cristoffer Myhre Præst Homepage: Cristoffer.dk We have done extensive travels together with Cristoffer in South-East Asia and the Middle East. E.g. we spent 5 weeks crossing the Philippines and did diving in remote locations; We did road-trips in United Arabic Emirates and Oman; We crossed from India into Northern Pakistan & Kashmir, went back to Delhi, and continued to Bhutan, Darjeeling and Sikkim. If you are planning a journey, Cristoffer is always easy to convince. Just mention diving, mountains or third world regions and he’d already packed his bag! Many journeys are yet to be realized together with Cristoffer. Recently, we went to Turkey, Kurdistan and Iran together.

Interesting Danish travelers

Sure, Denmark is a small nation with only 5-6 million people, but almost everyone likes to travel. A lot of people have praised the charter tourism waves, however, a core of intrepid travelers still manage to travel far away from the tourist trails. Some of them are:

	Rasmus Krath Homepage: rasmuskrath.dk Rasmus has traveled in more than 60 countries, often on unconventional and from time to rime high-risk expeditions to third world countries. He travels alone with his camera and guitar and searches for extraordinary places, which he tries to absorb, with extraordinary people, whom he tries to comprehend. His homepage tells about living with Quechua and Aymara Indians in the Andes Mountains, meetings with fugitives in Darfur and Somailia, driving overland from Bangkok to Denmark in a tuk-tuk through Pakistan and Afghanistan, and ventures into urban ghettos in Central America.
	Gerner Thomsen Homepage: gernerthomsen.dk Gerner has a passion for visiting and living with Normadic people. In the 1980s he trekked in the Norwegian Mountains, canoed down the Nahanni River in Canada’s North West Territories, and went to Nepal. Since the beginning of the 1990’s, Gerner has performed more than 35 independent trips to Russia and the former Soviet Union, often on trekking, skiing or rafting trips in regions such as Kamchatka, Yakutia, the Urals, Lake Baikal, Karelia, Caucasus, Altai, Pamir and Kola Peninsula. His homepage features multiple rendezvous with the Nenets (Reindeer nomads of Siberia), the Dukha people from Mongolia, Kazakh eagle hunters, Mongolian nomads, the Tuva Republic, Kyrgyzstani shepherds, and more.

Later on in 1999/2000, during 10 months, Jakob traveled overland from the Antarctic circle in Antarctica to the Arctic circle in Alaska through all 23 countries in South, Central and North America. In 2002/2003 he crossed the Indian Subcontinent, went to Tibet and returned to SE Asia. Since then, he has continually expanded his travel repertoire with travels in, e.g., North Korea, East and Southern Africa, the Caribbean and the Arabic Peninsula.
	Bjarne Lund-Jensen Homepage: bjarne-lund-jensen.dk Bjarne has travelled in 180+ UN-countries and 30+ territories, which makes him the most travelled man in Denmark in terms of countries visited. He has explicitly stated that he wants to visit all countries in the world. His homepage features pictures and anecdotes from his travels around the world since 1971. He has also constructed a 100 wonders of the world list. In recent times, even though he retired not so long ago, he has displayed the capability to keep on traveling. In 2007, he spent nearly 3 months in Antarctica and South America; In spring 2008 Bjarne spent nearly 3 months in Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Ocean, primarily visiting remote territories; Then, in autumn 2008, he spent one month in Central Africa.

Especially China has caught Nicolaj’s attention, and he has spent more than half a year there on several tours. His homepage displays articles, pictures and photos about and from his many travels.
