TRAVEL YOUR DREAMS

World Co-ordinates  58°10'0" N  -  13°49'0" E   Dimbo, Sweden   Located in Vastra Gotaland Lan (West Goth Land) 170 miles West of Stockholm A remote village surrounded by vast forest, Dimbo is home to the largest Viking Burial Site in Vastergotland.  Located behind the Kyrka (church) are 300 graves. Some of them are burial mounds, some are marked in stone. The graveyard goes back to the Bronze Age, dated in the Viking Era between 800 to 1000 AD. Surrounding the area are wild paths that have been used since the Middle Ages. These immortal paths still exist today and now lead to an enchanting Nature Park. Imagine the Viking spirits who roam these forest paths evermore... This is where my roots are...and where someday I too will walk.

All is to be embraced by you, for without it, you would be less than who you are."  Ivo/Lisa Dorr The above statement, is totally true. (and eerie how karma repeats itself...) For my birthday in April, I planned a trip to Sweden. For a year prior, I had been researching my family history there, clues to my mysterious past, and of the culture which deeply runs thru my Viking blood, more than I ever knew.   I originally was going to travel with Bridge to Sweden - which does research and custom tours. Instead, I ended up with a 102 fever and flu which ruined my birthday trip, but by the magic of the universe - I did take a trip through the halls of time.  My Grandmother died in 1996. She loved Nature, Art, and was highly intelligent (although no...
