A blog about travel, experiences, and stories. Where poker sometimes opens doors, rum rounds off the evening, and cats strangely always find me first.<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wonderbaum \u2013 Chapter Two<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It all started in 2008<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Planen var egentligen ganska enkel. Att \u00e5ka till Las Vegas i en m\u00e5nad, spela ihop ink\u00f6pet till World Series of Poker Main Event och skriva n\u00e5gra blogginl\u00e4gg f\u00f6r familj och v\u00e4nner. Men innan planet ens hade lyft vann jag ett paket till Main Event. En resa blev tv\u00e5. Jag visste inte d\u00e5 att Las Vegas skulle bli en plats jag \u00e5terv\u00e4nde till femton g\u00e5nger – och att bloggen bara hade skrivit sitt f\u00f6rsta kapitel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The blog was named Vegas2008<\/strong>, and what was intended to be a temporary travel diary continued for seven years. There were significantly more trips than planned and in 2015 the first chapter concluded when Linda and I got married on a mountaintop in Valley of Fire outside Las Vegas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then it became quiet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wonderbaum gick aldrig i dvala. Han tog bara ett steg tillbaka och l\u00e4t livet skriva n\u00e4sta kapitel. T\u00e5lmodigt stod han vid sidlinjen och s\u00e5g historierna v\u00e4xa. Men nyfikenheten har alltid varit hans st\u00f6rsta styrka \u2013 och samtidigt hans st\u00f6rsta svaghet. Till slut gick det inte l\u00e4ngre. Nu vill han ut igen.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A little older. Hopefully a little wiser. But with exactly the same curiosity about people, places and stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vem \u00e4r Wonderbaum?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Wonderbaum is the part of me that always says yes to adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Han har \u00e5kt rullskidor l\u00e4ngs Las Vegas Boulevard, spelat blackjack i Nordkorea, hittat ett pokerbord i Manila eller tagit omv\u00e4gen till den d\u00e4r restaurangen ingen annan verkar k\u00e4nna till. Ofta b\u00f6rjar allt med ett spel. N\u00e4stan aldrig slutar det d\u00e4r.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He's driven by curiosity \u2013 about places, people, and stories. The maps are often the ticket, but the encounters along the way are almost always what remain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ibland dyker \u00e4ven andra personligheter upp. Ove Sundberg g\u00f6r ett och annat g\u00e4stspel n\u00e4r det g\u00e5r att spara n\u00e5gra kronor, men det \u00e4r n\u00e4stan alltid som Wonderbaum h\u00e5ller i rodret.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When everyday life ends, Wonderbaum begins.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
