Here is a little about my life

 

I was born in London England in the year of 1932 the month of may .My father and mother were danish.I came to Denmark when I was 5 years old,and stayed untill I was 19.Finished with my education as an Optician the world lay open.I am now 65,and can look back on an interresting time where there were many challenges.I allways wanted to travel,maybe because of my father who had been all over the world,and told me many interresting storys about his life.My travels started when a friend of mine and I went to Paris on a Tandem Bicycle.The trip took 14 days,but when we arrived tired at the different destinations,we met the same people we had seen in the morning,and they had been there many hours before we arrived.It turned out that they had hitched a ride by car.That was when we sent the Tandem home to Denmark,and traveled like normal people did.From Paris we went through Switzerland to Italy.My ultimate goal was Australia,but first I went to Egypt to visit my parents.I was offered my first job as an Optician making Glasses for scoolchildren,but it never came off as there was some trouble between England and Egypt,and I was repatriated to England because of my brittish passport.I stayed in England some months and then Imigrated to Canada where I stayed about 4 years.My father got sick and died,so I went back to Denmark to help my mother with the business.Later I Imigrated to the USA,and stayed allmost 5 years,working as an Optician.and later traveled with my Flea Circus.I had learned how to tie up fleas and train"condition"them from my father.They were set to pull small Chariots and Carts,ride a Tricycle,play football,walk a tightrope,juggle a little ball ect.The Show was very successfull.We performed at Fairs,in Shoppingcenters and TV from Massachusetts to Florida and from New York to California .I had a great time.I was to meet my lifes companion"Gina from Brazil"and we had 16 wonderfull years together.We left USA,and went to the Canary Islands where we opened a Bar-Restaurant.Sold the Bar after 6 years and went to the mainland Spain.There we opened a Merendero"Roadside Snackbar"north of Malaga where we were robbed by a "Dane"of all people. We couldn't stay as he was dangerous,so we escaped to Portugal where we arrived with no more money than enough to buy a chicken.We found a place on the beach of Faro in the Algarve,where we put up our tent.Sitting in the darkness counting our money by flashlight we decided to spent it on a glas of wine.We saw a light by the water and went to have a look.It turned out to be a Restaurant.We went in ,and after a while talking about our life we ended up with a job playing and singing,and came back to the tent with enough money to buy 3 chickens.Playing and singing was something we learned in Tenerife,so that came in handy.We stayed in Portugal about 21/2 years,allmost like hippies,playing music-picking up clams-caching shrimps-making lamps in copper-translating-making patings-taking tourists on an excurtion by boat-bartending and catering.It was some of the best years of my life,believe it or not.A real challenge .From Portugal we went to Brazil to visit Ginas family.We stayed 2 years.Gina died there.I miss her,but life goes on.I couldn't stay.There was too many memmories,so I went back to Denmark,where I got a job as a travel guide taking english tourists around in Denmark.Then I became a guide in Lanzarote"The Canary Islands" for 2 years.There I met a girl from Sweden.Sweden is now my home.The girl is long forgotten,and I live here now with my little dog,and can look back on,for me,an interresting life.
