Falling for the Paris of South America

Traveling overland and long-term has had two modes for me: Actually traveling while moving places in a constant pace, and settling in one place for a while. More often than not, these places of stretching my legs a bit were cities that I liked. Just like landscapes, cities can be a source of inspiration, and... Continue Reading →

A New Continent

After spending almost three years in Australia and taking a summer (until winter) break in Europe, time has come for a new adventure. So far and on this trip, I have kept heading East. The logical next step would be crossing the Pacific to South America. In that sense, I have organised to sea-freight my... Continue Reading →

Of Men and Morality

An island remote enough to not be tainted by tourism, independent enough to not be too strict on its regulations. Undoubtedly, the event the Isle of Man is known best for is its annual Tourist Trophy, famously the oldest (and notoriously the most dangerous) motorcycle race in the world.  2022 is the first year I...

But before that, I wanted to explore some more remote areas, which had been fascinating me since my first journey across Australia one year earlier. I... Continue Reading →

A Lockdown Pastime

It’s 2021 and just about one year into Covid. When the new era all started in March 2020, I decided to stay in Australia as to wait out the situation. As described in my previous post, I ended up staying in Melbourne which turned out to be in the only Australian state that imposed a... Continue Reading →

Melbourne, a Lockdown Story

It was March, then it was October. At first and when the global pandemic started to gain momentum in 2020, Australia seemed better off. After all, a giant island with easier-to-control international borders and a low population density apart from a few metropoles should be in a good predisposition to stay on top of the...
