Because I spent to much time in Colombia, which was not planned, I had to rush a bit from Quito in Ecuador down to Buneos Aires in Argentina: 8000km without taking a plane in about 5 weeks. Although it was quite a rush, I had an amazing time. Ecuador Quito, the capital of Ecuador, was…

Wild Camping on Comino
Two weeks ago, I organized a couchsurfing event for Wild Camping in Comino. The plan was to have no plan, just to explore the small island and sleep somewhere. Luckily I found at least two people who wanted to join me 🙂 We took a boat from Sliema and went along the east coast to Gozo…
Blue Fire – Hell on earth
I didn´t know that hell exists on earth- until I saw it. On the Mt Ijen. In Java,Indonesia. I went there with a friend by scooter from Bali. By the way, did you know that Indonesia has three different time zones? We drove up on about 1200 m altitude to the entrance of the Ijen…
Human Hunting in Paris
When I visited Paris last November, I already sold some of my headbands in two cities : Compiègne and Amiens. In Compiègne, I sold my stuff right next to a market. I had nice chats with some people from the city and even got two apples for free. But after not even one hour…

Camping between Skyscrapers
On my trip around the world, my first night in a tent was not in the nature and not between trees. It was in a mega city. In an occupied street. In the business district of Hong Kong. Between Skyscrapers. It all began in Indonesia, when I realized that my next destinations Australia and New…
Massive Discount for Travelers
When I travelled to Chile from New Zealand, I had my first Jetlag ever (after 100+ flights) . My departure time in Auckland was 4.15pm and after a 11:47 hours flight, I arrived in Santiago at 11.35am. On the same day. Makes no sense to me . It´s like a time machine. Back to the…
The Hammock Boat in the Amazon (II)
At 8 am they started. To upload the boat. With everything. Food, TVs, tools, beer, beer, beer, sometimes even cows and other animals. These boats are the only way of transport in that region. They are stopping several times along the river to unload and to provide the people living there with necessary products from…
The Hammock Boat in the Amazon (I)
I was in Patagonia, South of Chile, when I´ve heard the fist time about the boat. A girl I´ve met trough couchsurfing told me, that a friend of her was traveling with it. With that local boat. Full of hammocks. 7 days into the heart of the Amazon. Unfortunately she couldn´t tell me more but it was…

Tune your scooter!
The best way to get around in Indonesia is definitely a scooter. The longer you rent it, the cheaper it gets per day. For a month I payed 1€/day, for two weeks 2€/day. Same same, but totally different. So, as soon as you got your scooter, you should “tune” it. This is what you need: A scooter…
Longueil-Annel; The Ghost Town
After 119km driving and 3 nights wild camping in the waterways of France, a part of the ship engine broke in the lock of Janville in Longueil-Annel. The material damage was estimated at approximately €5000 by german mechanics a few weeks ago. That was more than the cost of the boat itself. Dirk already wanted to…
