Is it possible to have your passion also be your core source of income?

We seem to hear more and more stories of people reaching the promised land, but is it really possible for the everyday person? Or are those ‘lucky few’ just that— lucky?

After years of research I have good news for you…

I bet you there’s something you love doing that someone else would be happy to pay you for right this second. I might go as far as saying I’m sure of it.

But let’s start with a question.

Bjorn, not there yet, but closing in ….

In 40 days from now I’ll can you a lot of different Fish meals… Not cod in 100 ways, but 100 differnt species.

I can also promise you facts, a honest touch on every meter and every place I’ll float by. If you like traveling (?) I can serve you more than fish. I can serve you new places that you have not heard about and the reasons to travel there.

The bonus; my own pictures where I shoot 1000 of them every day and it’s always one who turns out good” …:-)

Crossing through ten countries and draining the territory of 19 countries, the Danube is the most international river in the world. In addition to the 83 million people living in the river basin, the Danube is home to globally important species of flora and fauna.

In its 2,780 km course from Germany’s Black Forest to its outlet at the Black Sea, the Danube basin supports a diverse system of natural habitats and unique biological diversity. The Danube River Basin has more than 100 different species of fish – including five sturgeon species – and it is home to rare birds like the white pelican, white tailed eagle and black stork

Første runde på seksogtredve åtte.
Fatter’n lå på sofa’n med Kongsberg-knekk.
Tredje runde fire foran skjema,
og Bjørnsen kommenterte: “Det her blir sprekk

Er det noen som husker Erik Vea,¨fra NM på skøyter i 73.

Er det noen som vet hvor han egentlig ble ‘a, gikk han hjem? Gikk han rundetiden ned?

Det ble feilskjær og to fall på siste runde, men da var de fleste alt gått hjem. Og da vekket jeg fatter, og sa: “Fatter,jeg tror jeg har fått meg en helt ny helt”. For han prøvde på noe han umulig kunne greie

via Erik Vea lyrics by Di Derre.

Kun ett lite lyrisk glimt i dag, siden jeg har Erik Vea som helt. Og litt Jo Nesbø, men mest borern til Jo, Knut som er god og trygg i TV studio.

Prøv på noe du umulig kan greie!

Jeg prøver ofte det og lærer mye, men da har de fleste alt gått hjem. Og noen ganger greier jeg det!

Next expedition is ready and  it will be a lot of water, as in rivers and oceans, and on water you can do SUP.  Here is a old SUP photo (and the story behing here ):

The Shirt is continuing with the construction of the symbol via football shirts (not much new there ..), but I’ll switch transportation. Cycle out – SUP in and I’ll go for the world record. If I don’t go down in Hungaria.  Here is #whatisSUP and a photo from todays SUP training…

Maybe the best football photo I took in Africa. Malawi. Refugee camp.

Bjorn @Heidenstrom on Twitter – soon on Danube.

Looking back on the visit to Dadaab, Kenya. ca 400.000 inside the fence. They will stay there….

Took this pic and are re-publishing. I’m looking at many from nine camps and places.

They always smile when they play football. They; refugees. Football; uniting.

Found my weakest side on the cycle ride to South Africa. It was not the thigh, abdomen, shoulders or legs. It was not courage, demand, motivation or will. ‘

It was, loneliness …

So – If you are near the River Danube or the Black Sea or river Dneiper in March – June, then I can guarantee that I will come floating past the following locations (and you are shouting and waving with a cold drink!!!! 😉

The Danube flows through the following countries and cities (ordered from the source to mouth):

Germany

Möhringen an der Donau in Baden-Württemberg

New photos / card 20.1 2012

It’s
a cind of internal blogg and a message with a photo that I hope will find its way and love of football up to the north.

Because (once upon a time…..;-) ) I cycled in to Vestraalen.

It’s way up north, maybe the most beautiful place on the planet, on the west coast of Norway, where the men still are men, the cod you fish is always over 12 kilos, and the passion for football is total. but it’s one ting missing there and in Norway;
Paul Madeley from Leeds..

I met a man there, a pal of a pal, and he has the a complete 100% collection of my own childhood love. I’m of course talking about “football collecting cards” but I’m not accurate, because it’s not a 100%collection. It’s a 99,999999% collection.

He, Vestraalen and Norway has always been missing one card (1) and that’s: Paul Madeley, Leeds.

So I’v been working since that fine cycling day in 2011. Mates have been working, mates of mates have been working – and it’s all been about the love of football, childhood days and;
Paul Madeley, Leeds, – the missing card….

Well, we got breaking news!

We have found one collector in Singapore that have sent over a photo of his Paul. I have taken the scanned photos I got on mail and you’ll see them on my collage ( The other photos are from your collection in Vestraalen )

Dear Bø, Pedersen, the cod, the whales,Vestrålen, and dear nutcase football collector head: Is this the right Madeley? Is this the right card and the right year?

If the answer is no!  (please tell us )

If the answer is yes! Let’s find the money and go to Singapore!! (or do it the Viking way, #sail #steal #sailhome ) 😉

If you are a collector that stumbled in on this blog who also have a Madeley card.. – please shout!

Crossing fingers!!!!!!
