Matthes and I are already tired of the alarm sound from iPad, iPhone and the like, so we got out of bed at 06:30 in a not so good mood... a small breakfast with café latte...

On such a last day somewhere, one should also take different paths than usual... I thought and went to the hairdresser today. You might think that this is too precious time for...

Here in Surry Hills it's a bit like in PrenzlBerg: lots of nice places to eat and drink. Last night Matthes and I stopped by The Clock (they have a beautiful wraparound terrace...

Ha: this morning two-thirds of the early bird (and so) and are tired and fully motivated (well, 'so-so' motivated and 'so-so' came from the coffee...) set off for the planned...

As always, we wanted to leave earlier today, but somehow something always comes up. Today it was a load of laundry, postcards, stamps (the latter cost a fortune, so be happy if...

The second day in Canberra actually brought a more positive impression than the first. We were quite cultural and visited the Parliament and the National Museum. Both really...

Just when you think everything is great and the little kitty (our car) is purring again, it suddenly breaks down. Unfortunately, Trinity (the name of our car) didn't survive the...

So now I went to Albany to the winery 'Oranje Tractor'. The owners Pam and Murray welcomed me with a fantastic dinner. But that was not exceptional, the meals were consistently...

If I haven't convinced you yet that the long journey to Australia is definitely worth it, I will convince you today! ;) We spent the last two days in the Blue Mountains...

So now we went by bus to Albany, where I will stay at a hostel for one night and then leave for Denmark the next morning. The ride turned out to be more pleasant than expected...

The farmer named John Starr picked me up at a train station. He looked really old. I heard from him that he's 78 years old but still going strong. According to him, it's because...

Relaxing in Fremantle. Making plans.

surprise, surprise Kinder, I was fired again. But this time for real. It happened last Thursday (22/09/16) and on the following Monday, I could finally leave Jindabyne behind....

Hey hey everyone, Okay actually this was supposed to be a detailed post about my first job, but since the situation hasn't really improved since my last post and I'm in...

Yesterday, we experienced the second of three days at sea on our well over 2,000 km journey to Agats. We passed through the Torres Strait, a body of water characterized by...

Today is a day when my phone could theoretically have taken many great pictures and videos. Of the funny surf instructor explaining the waves to us. Of me standing on the...
