Hi!
I'm Snuttig. That's a Swedish name because my Mom adopted me from IKEA.
I would really like to travel the world! As you can see on my life missions, I'm interested in food, tourist attractions and sports.
Do you want to help me and be my first host????
Can't wait to start my travel!
Snuttig

I'm so excited!

On my way, Costa Rica - 28th June 2009
By: arasmi
Hi Mom!
So there has been a slight change of plans. Sara's brother has just left for Costa Rica for 2 weeks and she thought it would be a better idea if I went with him and then when I come back to go to LA or around Long Beach. Hope you don't mind! I'm looking forward to showing you lots of pictures from the trip so look forward to a BBBIIIIGGGGG update from me in a few weeks!
Love you and talk to you soon!
Bye!

Calgary, Canada - 15th August 2009
By: smaug
Hi Mum,
I have arrived in Calgary , where it’s just a bit colder than in sunny Califonia, brrr, what a change . Here I met other TVs, Sully Monster, who is visiting from Australia, Purple Haze who comes from England and sammino who is a stay-at-home TV. This morning the weather was a bit better, or so they told me , so we went with smaug for a site visit in Cochrane, a small town west of Calgary. Apparently the main business in town is still ranching
Here is the Bow River flowing past the town...
And here are a couple of photos of Cochrane, you can see the Rockies in the background.
On the way back we stopped at Canada Olympic Park. This was the main venue for sky jumping, luge and bobsled during the 1988 winter Olympics and it is still used for training and international competitions....in winter . In summer people come here for the mountain bike and hiking trails and last week there was a big music festival.
First we checked out the luge track
This is one of the starts; there are different start points for man, women, junior athletes and tourists
Later we had a look at the HS123 (90m) jumping tower. In summer the tower is the starting point of the fastest zipline in North America, with the riders flying down at up to 140km/h , that should be exciting

Calgary, Canada - 16th August 2009

Hi Mum,
today it was still cold and the weather was rather bad so smaug decided to go to work...and we went with him . The others have been there before, but it was my first visit to the office. First we checked the view out of the window, not too exciting .
Then, since smaug was working in another room we took control of the computer. Ehi, those are our updates from yesterday .
After surfing the net we started playing with the screens....mmm, these screens are so thin that you can barely sit on them
And after that we checked the plotter out.
After so much activity we decided that we needed some sugars, so we stopped at the snack packs in the kitchen for a well deserved break ...yumm, almond covered with chocolate, delicious
Tonight we all gathered to say goodbye to Purple Haze. She is going back to England to spend some time at home. I wish I had more time to know her, but I might meet her again somewhere around the world

Toronto, Canada - 22nd August 2009
By: smaug
Hi Mummy!
It’s been some time since my last update, but smaug was a bit busy . Good news is that we have come with him to Toronto for a few days, wow .
After spending a day resting at the hotel, today we had our first chance to quickly check out the city. First we walk down towards the CN Tower and took a photo there.
Close to the CN Tower is the Rogers Centre (that used to be called the SkyDome), the main stadium in Toronto for baseball, and Canadian football. There was a baseball game on today, with touts trying to sell tickets at every corner, even in front of the police (isn’t that illegal?? ). Anyway, smaug doesn’t really care about baseball so we just took another photo and moved on.
And here are again Rogers Centre and CN Tower from a bit further away.
Later on we had to get in the north of Toronto to see the tennis Canadian Open, how cool . Here I am out of the Rexall Centre, just before reaching the main gate.
And here it's me again inside the stadium .
Just while we were taking the photos it started pouring down and we had to run for cover. It kept raining for a good hour delaying the whole programme, but eventually the evening session started. The only casualty of the downpour was the camera that refused to work again , but the tennis was good . sammino almost caused a bit of turmoil when he saw that the system used by the players to challenge calls is called hawk-eye and decided to fly down to the umpire offering to upgrade that to a much more reliable eagle eye (his own ), but smaug kept a good hold of him .
