Henry Rollins travel show in Copenhagen
Henry Rollins doesn’t walk into a room, he detonates into it. His shows are more than just a performance. It’s a one-man blitzkrieg of thought and unfiltered rage wrapped in black cotton and inked skin.

From Gothenburg to Tokyo by train
Going from Gothenburg to Tokyo by train is one of the longest routes available, as it spans across nine time zones and seven countries. The largest part of the journey is the Trans-Siberian railway from Moscow to the Pacific, the world’s longest railway with 9238 kilometers.
