We are already one week on our beach on Koh Chang and try to isolate ourselves as much as possible. That means we stay close to the van and I only leave “home” to do shopping at the supermarket, which is within walking distance.Koh Chang and the rest of Thailand will be in “partial locked …
On this day 1 year ago, I started my journey from my hometown in Austria, planning to drive along the ancient Silkroad and the legendary Hippietrail through Austria, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, India, Nepal, Myanmar, and Thailand. Luckily I could totally stick to my plan. I even visited 3 more countries (Maldives, Cambodia, and …

The ghats (stone stairs leading to the river) have an amazing atmosphere – during the day they are full of pilgrims preparing …
Not many updates in the last weeks, but for a good reason: I almost spent the last 3 months on the beach in Thailand and found time to relax. When I arrived in Thailand I was really tired. Tired of days full of driving and dangerous traffic, tired of changing places every day. The East …
Okay, I admit it, I haven’t written for way too long again. My friend and soul mate was going through probably one of the most difficult situations a person can experience. I wanted to be with her, I came back to Poland for 3 weeks. There was no room in my head for social media …
