6 months of backpacking through the world!
Started in Khao San Road in Bangkok, I spent 2 weeks in the north of Thailand, then went south to the islands, including the infamous Full Moon Party and getting my Open Water Diving Licence in Koh Tao. After a disappointing arrival in Malaysia I decided to go to Singapore and Cambodia. Especially Cambodia was a blast, great people and big (although sad) history. After visiting “Angkor Wat” and “S21 Prison” for 1 month, I went by land back to Bangkok to catch up the places I missed, for example lovely Pai an Koh Samui and his astonishing Angthong Marine National Park. From Chiang Mai I flew to Taipei, had a 4 day lay-over and had to escape from typhoon “Nepartak”. Anyway I made it to North California, where I met with 2 buddies from Switzerland. By car we explored Highway 1, gambled in Vegas, visited Grand Canyon and the tremendous Zion National Park (love to Angels Falling…uhm Landing). After saying goodbye to my homies I took a flight to Miami and after spending 4 days there (yea it’s actually cheaper to fly aaall over the U.S. to Miami than going directly from the West Coast to South America) I arrived in Colombia’s capital Bogota. After visiting the Caribbean coast (Tayrona! And Ciudad Perdida! Oh and Taganga!!) I went to Medellin, Mr. Narcos’ hometown, and wondering how modern and cultivated this city is and that you can play paintball in his old mansion (what we did). After a trip south to tiny San Agustin I passed the boarder to Ecuador and took a flight to Galapagos Islands, which are as unique as they’re expensive (cost me 2 weeks of travel less, but worth it!). In the end I was surprised how much there is to do and see in Quito and after a short lay-over in Fort Lauderdale, I took a plane back to Berlin and 2 days later arrived in Mahlstetten…
