Bjørgulv Straume: Jew’s harp (mouth harp), training-DVD and CD |
|
Bjørgulv is a Jew’s harp blacksmith and a master harper from Setesdal, Norway. Over the internet, he sells fantastic sounding, hand-made Jew’s harps, a brilliant training-DVD, and an amazingly atmospheric CD, which truly conjures up the spirit of Norway (sample). His Jew’s harp will travel the world with me.

Worldwide Dive and Sail
These guys gave me a lift from the Andaman Islands to Thailand. A crew out of this world, a boat to die for and an ocean of hidden treasures, that crossing was beyond my wildest wet dreams. From Indonesia to the Andaman Islands, if you want to dive and / or sail in style around the very best sites South East Asia has to offer, look no further. Based in Chalong Bay, Phuket, Thailand. A very special thanks to Mark and Brett, and of course the amazing crew.

Also, a huge thank you to:
- Eurostar - the obvious choice for travelling between London, Paris and Brussels - for sorting out my ticket!
- Voiceovers Ltd - the best way to add a voiceover to your product, a website with hundreds of voices speaking a multitude of languages, many with their own studios - for keeping my subscription running! (Do a search for "Norwegian" and you'll find me - I'm available for voiceover work wherever in the world I may be!)
- The brilliant Academica Summer Hostel in Helsinki, Finland, for all the free internet time!
- Lowepro for the brilliant new bag - the Slingshot AW200, the best camera bag in the world!
- Similan Diving Safaris in Khao Lak, Thailand - small money, big diving around the best spots on the west coast of Thailand!
- The incredible Mr. Rathnam at Andaman Holidays in Port Blair, Andaman Islands, India. They know everything there is to know about the Andamans and if they can't sort it out for you, it can't be sorted out.
- James at the sports-fishing company Wahoo in Phuket, Thailand, even if it didn't work out in the end...
