Hiking Gear – Nepal

Because a few of my friends have asked me what kind of gear I have used on my hike I was making a small list what I have taken with me. Here are also some tips what I would change. If you want to make a world trip and don’t need all your gear at the hike a lot of the hostels have a storage room and you can park your stuff there. That’s pretty handy because you don’t need your laptop while you’re hiking. 😉 Backpack ( http://www.globetrotter.de/shop/deuter-aircontact ) i have had the older version with 55 liters 2 Water bottles, I have had one from Germany 1Liter Bottle what i still use today, ( www.globetrotter.de/shop/nalgene-everyday  ) and one normal bottle I have bought in Kathmandu. You need 2 because in the first one you can get the fresh water with the tablets and the other one is your drinking water at this time. Warm ski underwear (www.amazon.de/gp/product/B078F6S49K ,www.amazon.de/gp/product/B01M1SPYYP ) Pullover and jacket (https://amzn.to/2K3Vqxs ) Jacket 2 layers, I just love 2 layer jackets they …

Pokhara

After all my hiking at the Annapurna I have had just 1,5 days left to see another city. Ok I must say I just don’t want to spend another few days in Kathmandu and just wait around to fly to the next destination. A lot of hikers have sad that I would love Pokhara. A city full of art, self-made stuff and a beautiful lake. It sounds awesome and believe me the first arrival was again not that nice. Our bus has had a lot of delay (It was dark and we have had no clue where we are) we don’t have had any hostel booked and a group of 3 just running around and searching something. Yes we have got a bed. But I would never recommend this hostel. On the internet it says with breakfast and Wi-Fi. Yeah, we just let it stay like that. The next day was awesome! I was meeting the guy from yesterday’s bus drive and we are starting to explore the city. More like the street around the …

The End of the Worldtrip

What a weird feeling. Just a few days left and my WorldTravel is finished. Then I will have a few days more and I will sit again on my desk, smelling the morning coffee and starring on my screen. Today it was the first day that another traveler has sad “I am sorry” to me because my travel ends. But why? I must say yes it feels really weird to know that I will have a flat at home, a normal job and also some hobbys (my horse), but I am pleased to have had this amazing chance to see the world. I am more than happy what I have experienced and I know by myself it will be not the last big travel I am doing. (I already plan the next big, a bit different trip) On the other side I am glad not to plan day by day, not to search the next hostel, the next food store or the next washing saloon. Not to know if you can shower in the next …

Do i want a normal life?

Have you ever thought about what you really want ? I want to travel, to see amazing places and have crazy stories to tell. But than an inner spine is coming who says no, society says you should be married, have children and a house. How are you handling it ? I was talking yesterday to a friend and he just was saying: you don’t want a so called normal life. You want to experience everything and you don’t let yourself stop from something. I was really surprised because I was thinking I am way more quite in what I am doing. I don’t go bungee jumping or skydiving. OK I am afraid of heights, but still. I am traveling slow and also enjoy more time at one place. My last travel was fast every week 1 or 2 city’s, every tour I could find and I was nearly scared to miss one piece of it. You can say I get older because I don’t need (what for a crazy word, you never need or …

Travel and life!

The one thing no one can take away from you are these amazing experience while you are travelling. When you feel sometimes down, just smile. You are one of these lucky ones, who can travel and explore the world. How many people can say that ? Be happy also when you are stuck in the airport for hours, be happy if you stuck in a city or somewhere else. There is a reason why you are there. Nothing happens without purpose. I have so many times experience it. Everything has a reason and the universe or good or however you want to call it, it don’t want you to suffer. They want, that you are happy and love this life. You are an amazing person and everything what’s happen to you will form your personality and will show you a new perspective/way in your life. I am stuck in an airplane at the moment and just realise again how freaking lucky I am. When I am travelling, I am greatful of every day. I love …

Let your dreams come true…

I am a hopeless dreamer! I love to dream over adventures, far away countries and exploring the most amazing nature in the world. If it is flying with a balloon, diving with sharks or riding a mustang. I love to dream about it. And so many people are doing the same. Dreaming !! Reality looks different. Sitting in the office, staring out of the window. The yellow light from the surrounding lamps shining on the walls. The desk full of papers, the to do list for the day in front of you. Your dreams are getting you through the day and you know, no one can take them away from you. But why only dreaming when you can live your dreams? Start small! Take a weekend trip to another city, to the mountains, start a new hobby or just visiting some friends who you don’t have seen since a long time. Start small and grow with it. Don’t sit around and hope something will change. You must be the change. I have started with small …
