Prologue

This year it's the year of H. C. Andersen and even though it's surrounded by embarrassing scandals and a unusual tasteless overexposure, I'll still start this expedition with a couple of his words: to travel is to live.

To travel around the world is something most people dream of... and Denmark today makes it possible for more and more. In fact I consider my self to be lucky. Not in parcular of being born in Denmark as I, in short, think the society is flabby humanitarian and deeply socialistic going towards being communistic, but rather of being born in a time where technology and speed have opened the world for the privileged born in the economy strong western world. Since we're only in the early years of this new open and globalized world there're still, though very few, unspoiled wilderness' left that have not been stricken by mass tourism or industrialization.

Ekspedition [ksp-dshn] (from latin expeditio (gen. -ionis) derived from expedire) ...; A journey undertaken with a definite objective; ...

As I feel too old to make the, by now, much too ordinary post-study around-the-world-trip I've decided that this journey must go under the category: expedition.
According to the above-mentioned definition of the word expedition, the definite objective is:
to explore some of the last wilderness' of the world.

Not long ago I heard a social scientist speak of young people nowadays getting everything served on a silver platter and hence you increasingly often see young people travelling around the world. If I'm one of these "young people", which I personally don't think is close to being true, then the journey will at least be done in a manner that doesn't bear the stamp of me having a silverspoon in the mouth. The expedition will be carried out alone with a backpack only containing some of the most necessary tools to keep alive in some of the most desolated areas.
