Events in this story happened on July 3rd, 2019. We paddled our inflatable canoe named Zucchini from a village called Kobling to the bigger town Aschach an der Donau in Austria. The total distance was 16.6 kilometers. We stayed in Aschach for two nights. Leaving Kobling for Aschach an der Donau We only stayed in the hotel Idylle am Donauufer for one night. They only served breakfast at 8:00, so we slept in more than we’re used to by now. We ate our breakfast, chugged some hot coffee, and prepared two sandwiches for the voyage. Then we brush teeth, finishContinue reading

Kayak Trip Day 22: Engelhartszell to Kobling
The happenings in this story occurred on the 2nd of July, 2019. We paddled our trusty inflatable canoe Zucchini on the Danube river from Engelhartszell to Kobling. Both towns are in the Austrian state of Oberösterreich. We paddled 22.8 kilometers between the two towns. Our Stay in Engelhartszell This is Jonas’ first time here. He’s a German passport-holder who has lived in Australia but has never visited Austria before. And even though one probably shouldn’t draw conclusions based on the experiences made in a peripheral border town, his first impressions aren’t bad. It’s like Germany, but with faster internet.

Belarus Is The Dream: 29 Pleasant Summer Days
Why Would You Go to Such a Dangerous Country? (And By the Way, Where is Belarus?) I was in Belarus from July 20 till August 17, 2018 I feel like a broken record, but I’ll repeat it again: if I ever listened to people and their “Oh, but that country is dangerous!” nonsense I’d be missing out on so many amazing experiences. This story is the experience of Belarus: a landlocked country in Eastern Europe bordering Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Russia, and Ukraine. Most people know it only as ‘Europe’s last dictatorship’ and the last European country that executes the deathContinue reading
Hiking Monte Gordo, São Nicolau
The Intention We’d been in São Nicolau for four days. I really wanted to hike up Monte Gordo, the highest point of the island before we arrived. When we flew in from Sal, I already spotted the peak piercing through a thick layer of clouds from my plane seat. Monte Gordo (‘fat mountain’) is the highest point of São Nicolau island, Cabo Verde. It’s 1312 meters high , and of volcanic origin. But don’t worry, it’s dead now. It’s a protected area inside the Parque Natural de Monte Gordo. While São Nicolau is quite a dry island, the areas higherContinue reading

Part I: What’s Supposed to be Enjoyable This series of posts is mostly a way for me to process the trauma of going through this. If you’re expecting happy travel content, this ain’t it. This story is number 1 in a series of 5. Here you can find the subsequent stories about rescuing a kitten in Porto, Portugal: Part II, Part III, Part IV, and Part V.

He participated in a Digital Nomad conference by the German language ‘Citizen Circle’ that week, andContinue reading
Hitchhiking Anniversary: 4 Years a Hitchhiker!
Today is my hitchhiking anniversary: it’s been four years since I first put up my thumb to stop a car! I’m applauding Facebook for its ‘memories’ feature that brings up gems like this photo of me catching my first ever ride. I don’t want to sound dramatic, but the event right here in this photo has proven to be quite the life-changing moment. What happened that day four years ago? I guess I’ve never really talked about this on the blog. It may be good to type this up another time. Long story short: I was an exchange student inContinue reading
Merch
I had a great idea for a bumper sticker, so I decided to make one for my car/bicycle owning readers. Then I got a little lost in creating more merch and tadaaa! I have an online shop for my spurs of creativity! If you *buy any of the products, you're supporting my travels. If you don't buy them but just like them, feel free to share it with your friends! There are some share buttons on the left side of every page. [zStoreBasic] * Also, could you send me a photo of the bumper sticker/playing cards/t-shirt in action? That would be awesome. You can send me an e-mail via my contact form here. Read more >
Hitchhiking Gear
Here are some of the things I use to make hitchhiking in all seasons and weather conditions possible. Some items are hitchhiking-specific, while others are good to carry around whether you’re hitchhiking, traveling by bus/train/plane. I enjoy preparing very well for all kinds of situations, which makes my hitchhiking gear not as light as other people’s travel pack. The items listed here are specifically for solo travel, which is how I started back in 2013. Since buying new stuff is harmful to your wallet and the environment, I always advise people to ask around if someone they know has free travelContinue reading
Paranal Observatory, Chile: Tour Group Crashing
“Paranal Observatory, Chile: Tour Group Crashing” has a Russian 🇷🇺 translation: «Паранальская Обсерватория, Чили: Незваные Туристы» Today cannot be described as anything else than plain epic. Together with Jonas, I hitchhiked from Antofagasta to the Paranal Observatory. Our drivers were kind enough to drive us up the mountain out of their way. They drove back downhill and we anticipated hitchhiking another car down within the hour. I definitely didn’t expect to come closer to the Very Large Telescope than the security guys at the gate. But it is a Saturday today and the tour group was just about to leave.Continue reading
