Living the Dream - Ben travelled around the world - April 2008 until March 2011 Update: I have published a book about my trip - you can find it on
Amazon,
iTunes or
Kobo (and most other online book shops).
In April 2008, I quit my fast-paced corporate job, sold most of my belongings, and left on a world trip - and never looked back. Starting in Berlin (Germany) and heading east, my journey would last for three years and took me across parts of Eastern Europe, Russia, Asia, Oceania, Central America and finally India, before returning home to Germany at the end of March 2011 after 1091 days on the road. It truly was a trip of a life-time, and the memories will stay with me forever.
I hope you enjoyed my stories as much as I enjoyed my journey. Any feedback (public comment on any blog entry or
private message) is still very much appreciated and makes the blog special to me and everybody else!
Please also take note that I never meant to offend anyone with my blogs but merely wanted to share my experiences (good and bad). So please don't get all worked up by my entries. Constructive criticism is of course very welcome indeed! Having said that, I was never aiming to write a politically correct blog. My writing is (naturally) highly subjective and expresses my (sometimes strong) opinions. And if you happen to be a lawyer reading my entries: I take absolutely no responsibility whatsoever if someone chooses to somehow act based on any information in my blog.
Finally, if you want to support my travels with a small donation via Bitcoin (bc1p7a23v00vs6szxtk333k04ge5kmzf8cyy7qqr0uc9dh46kzg6hyhssfzp9p) or Ether/ Polygon/ BSC (0x4a33E893edfba89bbEf6A50F8e53D4291Bb05b52), this would be very welcome indeed!
