It’s been five years since we last visited the US. It was one of the most memorable tours we have ever done, both in a bad and good way. We shared a van with our Finnish comrades, Swallow the Sun, and drove from coast to coast. Every other night, we slept in the van like sardines in a tin box, and every other night we booked two motel rooms and sneaked our way through the backdoor. Tough, but extremely fun: spending three weeks in a smelly van creates a special bond between people. Now I’m writing this blog from the comfort of my bus bunk while sipping beer.
