The Power of New: Sweden Through My Eyes The Power of New: Sweden Through My Eyes “Traveling, for me, is like flirting with life. It’s that fleeting yet exhilarating feeling of saying, ‘I want to love you, but I have to go.’” A Land Beyond Stereotypes When people think of Sweden, they often conjure images of frigid winters, ABBA, or those famously safe cars. My own “SAAB story” is one for the books, but there’s far more to this country than good looks and pop culture icons. I was determined to uncover Sweden’s essence, and my adventure started with a bike tour through the streets of Stockholm. Stockholm on Two Wheels Stockholm is a cyclist’s paradise. With bike paths crisscrossing the city’s many islands, it’s easy to explore its breathtaking beauty. Every time I got on my bike, I felt like the luckiest person in the world.

When all you care about is the present moment, this is exactly where you need to be. On Devil’s Island How did you end up in a place like this? Favoritism. Reprinted from 2011 WC: "Welcome to the penal colony at Devil’s Island, where prisoners are confined, and from which there is no escape." Now, ironically, Devil’s Island has become a destination of escape. I’ve always said, "Instant gratification takes too long." It’s a bumper sticker truth that encapsulates the pace of modern life.
