Almost slept until 7, then the temperature reached 30 and I couldn’t stay in bed 🙂 Got up and went for breakfast, I had asked my team lead to sleep in. I sat at the… 

Got up at 5:30, leaving for breakfast fifteen minutes later. Some queue but it was alright.Met Sandro in the dining hall, nice to meet him four years later. He has some insight into the Wosm… 

The rain helped with the temperature so it was only 26 degrees in the tent. Woke up a lot during the night and at six I got up, heading for breakfast. At the dining hall,… 

It was cooler than I expected in the morning. I turned off my fan around 5 in the morning but never needed to pull anything over me. Got up at 6:45 and got prepared for… 

Today was the day to head to the campsite. We woke up, had breakfast, and waited for the buses to arrive at nine. They came at eleven… We went to a welcome center where they…

Today was the day. Finally, time to start the trip towards Asia, South Korea, and the 25th World Scout Jamboree. Even though I don’t have any trouble getting up in the morning if I need… 

In just four days I’m on a plane heading eastwards for South Korea. The “travel jitters” has begun to set in. In an effort to try and calm myself, I spent the Sunday packing and… 

In just 32 days my journey to South Korea and Asia begins. This first post will kick off the relatively long series of stories that I will tell from my trip to the 25th World…
