Hi, my name is Erik Olson and i’m a travel nut.  I play guitar in a progressive sludge metal band called Lord Dying which is what got me started traveling, but quickly,  I became obsessed with solo travel as well.  Visiting over 78 countries in 3 years, I hope to visit all of them some day.  I love seeing the world and experiencing different cultures.  Sometimes the world can seem like a scary place but there’s beauty everywhere if you look hard enough.  I’ve done all my traveling on a pretty strict budget and hope that I can share some of my experiences and help others that are looking to see the world.
