Nice mountains on the way

Our last city of the silk road: Bukhara

Guys, I'm hungover so this one will be less detailed than usual. We hitchhiked to Bukhara, the last city of the silk road that we plan to visit. It took longer than expected,...

More beautiful architecture, an Uzbek wedding and shipwrecks in the desert

We went from Samarkand to Khiva by night train. The trips takes 11:30h. This train station looks especially exceptional! The night train was from old soviet times. New ones have...

A city worth called a world wonder. Samarkand left us speechless - part 1

We are in a city called Samarkand. Never heard of it? Me neither before and I know seriously wonder why. This looks so amazing it should be worth being on some world wonder list...

Arrival in the orient!

Sooo wie wir aus den Bergen getrampt sind, hielt ein Transporter an (ohne dass wir den Daumen rausgestreckt haben, wir sind einfach dort hingelaufen), der bereits 2 Erwachsene...

We climbed the mountain mazar! Little text, many pics

I'm not going to bomb you guys with so much text as the last time but wanted to share the photos of today since the mountain was SO beautiful. For the way back we hitchhiked...

An overload of hospitality and the first hike

As you guys probably remember from the last entry, Hanna and I tried to flee from the rain in Bishkek and went to Osh. The way was 750km but we needed about 13 hours to get...

Some first impressions and defending a thesis in a gaming cafe

Soo we figured out some essentials: We know how to find public transport, there is a Russian app called 2gis which displays how to get around. And the alternative to Uber here...

The journey continues!

Hello hello, I'm glad you found your way to this blog (again) 😌 You'll find all new updates on this website again. From Kiel I went to Hamburg to get to the airport but had a...

Mt Taranaki

Meet Amanda!

Hello hello, after I said goodbye to Viktoria, I went up north to meet with Amanda again - the girl I met in Australia. I left Queenstown on Sunday evening and was to meet with...

On the road to Paradise

As you might imagine, there is not often reception and even less places for good WiFi. So the posts from New Zealand will be less frequent I fear. Anyway, this island (the...

Arrivée en Nouvelle-Zélande

Salut ! J'ai manqué d'espace de stockage sur mon téléphone et j'ai déplacé toutes les photos sur des clés USB, donc je ne peux pas vous fournir de photos des derniers jours en...

Amazing snorkeling, kangaroos and koalas

Oluf and I tried sailing again, we failed the last time due to a rather stormy sea. Off to new horizons! The sea was super calm and we arrived very fast at our destination...

People have died here

Admittedly, the title screams click bait but hear me out. Dani, Tim and I went hiking on a mountain (Mt Beerwah) that is very challenging. It's more rock climbing than hiking,...

Successless sailing natural parks

I planned to go sailing with Oluf but everything was against us. At first the motor of the dinghy (a small boat to get to the actual sailing boat) didn't work properly, we had...

First days Australia
