Tag 1 - Frankfurt am Main, Germany (11.01.2020)

Here we sit - Waiting at Terminal 1 for our flight to Thailand after months of preparation and planning.

From the first idea to the actual implementation, almost two years have passed. Many things had to be prepared: insurance, credit cards, canceling apartment and job, selling cars, writing packing lists, and so on.

Just celebrated Christmas and New Year with family and friends and said heartfelt goodbyes to everyone, now the big adventure of world travel 2020 is actually starting for us.

There are mixed feelings. Excitement and uncertainty prevail, but the anticipation of the upcoming experiences is greater.

We have planned around one year for our journey. With approximately 16kg in our backpacks and carry-on luggage, we start in Southeast Asia and then continue to Australia and New Zealand. Southern Africa as well as Nepal and Tibet are other desired destinations on our bucket list.

However, we made a conscious decision to travel slowly and without a fixed route. We want to go with the flow and embrace the unknown.

You can follow our adventure on this travel blog in the coming months to see where it ultimately takes us. We hope to be able to regularly report on places, experiences, and challenges.

For us, it's now off to hot Bangkok with 34°C via Abu Dhabi.

So let the adventure begin!

See you soon and all the best!

Bianca & Michael
