After traveling by hitchhiking for long distances and kayaking a generous portion of the Danube, we felt it was time to return to the basics: feet. As Jonas and I were both born able-bodied, walking was our very first mode of transportation as little shitlings. And now we’d like to experience traveling on foot for a bit. But because our fitness levels for hiking are atrocious, we decided to make the first long-distance hike something easy and flat: the Dutch coastline. Here’s how we planned for this trip.

Avakas Gorge Nature Trail: A Popular Canyon Hike near Paphos
We did this touristy hike on the 30th of December, 2023. Despite traveling to the Avakas Gorge in the low season, it was rather busy Driving to and Parking at the Avakas Gorge The day before, Jonas and I did some shallow research into doing the Avakas Gorge hike. As we were doing a catsit in the mountains near Paphos, we had access to the pet parents’ car. Normally, we would do such a trip with public transport, hitchhiking, or not at all when the internet says it’s too touristy. If we’d done it by bus, we would have gottenContinue reading
Hunyadi/Corvin Castle, Hunedoara: Wonder of the Magyars
We visited Hunyadi Castle, also known as Corvin Castle on Wednesday the 21st of August, 2024. My interest in going here is that its the wonder of the Magyar civilization in the game Age of Empires II. Since the wonder is in Hunedoara in Transylvania and not connected by rail, we did it as a day trip from the city of Deva Getting to Hunedoara from Deva We arrived in Deva from Bucharest the evening before. It was a long train ride. With three nights booked in Deva for two full days, I wanted to frontload the visit to CorvinContinue reading

My 60-Day Stay in Chiang Mai, Thailand (I Just Don’t Get It)
I entered Chiang Mai, Thailand by plane from China on the 5th of November, 2019. Jonas and I received a 30-day entry stamp initially, which we needed to extend. I wrote this piece partially during my stay in Chiang Mai and partially afterward. Months later I’m still puzzled by this city and its appeal to other foreigners. An unsolved mystery.

71 Reasons to Visit South America in 2017
Whether you’re a hitchhiker, a digital nomad, or a holidaymaker, South America is absolutely phenomenal. Let’s not hold off on that long-desired trip to the southern hemisphere any longer! Without further ado, here’s your randomly ordered justification to go ahead and get south the coming year: 1. Firstly, pick up fifty shades of Spanish! As a result of colonialism, South America is quite homogeneous language-wise, with Spanish and Portuguese being the most spoken. Or mix ’em up and you get “Portuñol“. Learn just enough Portuguese to make your trip to Brazil easy-peasy with Duolingo or Memrise. So instead you want toContinue reading
Guernsey, Alderney, Sark, Herm (Channel Islands)
The Bailiwick of Guernsey is a British Crown Dependency I haven't traveled to (yet). I've been to Bretagne in France and in the south of England, but I've never come close to actually visiting. But a visit has been in the making for a long time as I was going to visit Guernsey and Jersey in 2015 when I was hitchhiking along the edges of Europe (sorta). There's only one Crown Dependency I've visited before: the Isle of Man – with its adorkable Manx Cats – in 2013. I hope that in the future, you can find posts about the islands of Guernsey, Alderney, Sark, and Herm on this page. For now, perhaps read about other places in Europe, such as France, Ireland, or Mauritius? Things to Do in Guernsey Population: ~64.781. All prices from 2025 First of all, I'd love to hitchhike in Guernsey. It's the best way to meet locals and a good alternative when the bus doesn't… Read more >
