Cape to Cape 2008 – 83 days to go

Cape to Cape 2008 are my mission to learn more about our world. I´m going to travel between Cape Town, South Africa and North Cape, Norway during the spring of 2008.

I’ve been trying to get some perspectives of my life and what I want to, and need to do. I’ve been thinking and talking to people, and now I want to learn more about the world, build contacts and tell the forgotten stories from regions where the good news are unusual.

My aims during the route:

LEARN MORE ABOUT THE WORLD
I want to see and listen. When we get all your information from schoolbooks and media, we tend to get a limited view. So I really want to listen to people along the route and get a better understanding about social problem, religion and the future of our planet.

CREATE COOPERATION´S AND CONTACTS
I will create cooperation’s with organizations, politicians, media, companies and the public sector. I want to create a global network of people engaged in the issues and see that we can continue to communicate. This is a key issue in my future work as a storyteller.

TELL THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STORY
I can’t accept the picture we get of Africa, Middle East and Eastern Europe in the established media today. And I want to show the other side of the story. And tell you about engagement, creativity and a bright future. I will publish the stories in text, images and video at a website, use media and more.
