My last station should give me some time to relax. Jawa would have surely offered me a lot in terms of culture, landscapes, and interesting cities. But I didn't want to rush...

Since my stay in Singapore lasted only 24 hours and I unfortunately didn't see anything besides the airport with its wild waterfalls, I would like to use this entry for some...

To anticipate KL is the capital city which I liked the most so far. It is less overpriced, the transportation system is better developed and everything is a bit more harmonious....

Eating strawberries less than 500km away from the equator? That's possible at 1,500m altitude in the Cameron Highlands!! It's certainly hard to believe, but I was excited to...

After a short stopover in Thailand, I continued my journey to Malaysia. Since I had only spent 3 days at the beach so far, it was time to breathe in some sea air again. ...

The last part of my Myanmar trip took me to the southeast of the country. I took a train to the Golden Rock, a sacred rock held by only a single hair of Buddha - at least...

The city of Hsipaw in the Shan region marked the northernmost point of my journey so far and was the starting point for a trek into the mountains. Beforehand, we treated...

Originally, it was not planned to visit Myanmar. But after the numerous recommendations of other travelers, as well as the opportunity to meet my former colleague Max here, the...

After 4 adventurous weeks, it was time to leave Laos. Starting from Phongsaly, I traveled 500km to get back to Thailand. In Chiang Rai, I took a break to recover from the 20...

11 hours drive for 210km distance - what did I do to myself ... But I was rewarded with mountains, cool temperatures (only around 30°C) and nights without mosquitoes! Phongsali...

The journey continued northward. In Nong Khiaw, we changed our mode of transportation from bus to boat to reach the village of Muang Ngoy, which can only be accessed by...

Luang Prabang made me rave... Old colonial buildings, small alleys - you would feel like being in a small winemaking village. Despite the high number of tourists, the city...

The travel diary counts the 40th day of my journey. I am currently on a short stopover in Vangvieng before continuing to Luang Prabang. Since I don't like the city, I want to...

Vientiane is a fairly modest city. There aren't many special sights or museums, and it's not particularly big... After more than a week in the mountains or on the scooter, it...

After the three-day stay in Banlung, we continued south to Sen Monorom. We reached the destination after a four-hour drive with twenty-eight people (!) in a Ford Transit. Since...

Banlung presented itself as a small sleepy town. After all, I found a resort with a nice bungalow surrounded by jackfruit trees. On the next day, I got a scooter and drove to...

End of tourists - time to explore off the beaten path! My destination was the temple complex of Preah Vihear in northern Cambodia on the border with Thailand. For the whole...

Arriving in Siem Reap in the evening, we checked into the worst and most expensive hotel ($25!!) of our trip so far. To satisfy our hunger and quench our thirst, we went...
