I finished my trip around the world, but not yet moving around. I came back earlier to hang out wee-bit in Europe and enjoy familiar culture! After three weeks in Finnland I still could visit a friend in Germany whom I know from Ecuador!... read more

I liked Laos very much, although there is no coast. That is why I moved down to south Thailand, by bus and train: two nights and two days of traveling, quiet exhausting, but when I arrived in Au Nang I knew it was worth. In Koh Hai I found a real bargain. Small bamboo bungalow seven meters away from the beach, including visits from mice and geckos, but just 8.- Sfr a night! Other resorts with stone bungalows were around 60-110 Sfr a night!! In order to avoid troubles, I can't show some authentic pictures of Laos. Many children and woman don't wear that much, either because they don't want to wash the clothes of the babies all the time, or because it's just too hot. ... read more

Hey everyone happy new year!! at least it is here in Laos and Thailand. I skipped my stay in Australia and went instead to South east ASia. I was looking for a less touristic place than NZ or OZ, but hard times here too. I didn't know that Thailand is backpackers paradies...But it's nice here. It's hot, about 35 degrees celsius and very humid. It's hard to find local people to have interesting discussions, hardly nobody speaks more English than "hey my friend, waterfall, Tuktuk, cheapcheap..." If you have money, you can buy everything and it's cheap. But hate to see people transformed that much just because of money. Laos is still one of the poorest countries, but a simple life is much up to me the key to happiness! I thought they won't be that ... read more

Hey Guys I'm finally in Australia. I don't like big cities anymore, so I'll see that I get my ass out of here as soon as possible. Operahouse and the bridge is nice and Sushis are pretty cheap that I just give them a go. Australia is huge, so let's see where I go to. It's quiet warm again, so much better than in NewZealand, where it was at the end sometimes too cold to sleep in the tent.... read more
