“Tourists see the world… Travellers experience it…“
– Some people travelling that took themselves way too seriously
Not gonna lie, I was getting a bit “everythinged out” and tired at this point…

New Caledonia :: L’île des Pins
“Pic N’ga… A random spot 262 meter above the ocean on a tiny island I’ve never heard of is TOTALLY a destination for my trip.” – Me
Some time in 2015/2016 I was sitting with a huge printout of the map of the world in front of me and Google Maps open on my computer. I was looking for places that would become “must sees”. Continue reading
New Zealand :: Queenstown & Tattoo #3
“New Zealand is not a small country but a large village.”
– Peter Jackson
In 2014 I had my first tattoo done in Queenstown. I like things going full circle, or maybe just being connected, whatever, so I decided that the tattoo I have been thinking of getting for years now would be a great memory of this time around in Qtown. Continue reading
New Zealand :: Queenstown, TSS Earnslaw Cruise
“TSS Earnslaw was launched in the same year as the Titanic with vastly better results.” – Crew of TSS Earnslaw
I am running out of things to do for the very first time in Queenstown. I consider that an achievement. I found this old steamboat from 1912 though, that choochoos across Lake Wakatipu… Continue reading
New Zealand :: Queenstown, St. Peter’s Anglican Church
“Whenever I get stressed I just want to hop on a plane to Queenstown”
– John Travolta
And just like that I was back in my favourite place in New Zealand: Queenstown. The extreme sports mecca of the world. The place that is just small enough to be incredibly cosy, but just busy enough to satisfy my need for human observation and interaction. Continue reading
New Zealand again! <3 Also: U2-concert
“I gotta say, God really outdid himself down here.” – Bob Harper
New Zealand. My favourite country to visit. I thought for a bright second that I would save my budget and skip New Zealand so I could spend the money on a country I hadn’t already visited… Twice. But then I came to my senses. Like I’m -ever- going to skip New Zealand, especially when I’m already in those parts of the world. What a facepalm thought.
Australia :: Philly, Amrita, Cecilie & Calvin
“Sydney.” – Jack London
Sydney was like a massive meet up point for me. The place I met the most old and new friends again. Continue reading
Australia :: Sydney Opera House
“One of the most wonderful memories in my life was when I sang at the Opera House in Sydney. I will never forget that. It is one of the most beautiful houses I have ever sung in my life” – Nana Mouskouri
Sydney Opera House was another “UNESCO Heritage Site bucket list”-item… for some reason. Who knows why places like this get stuck in peoples’ minds, I certainly can’t tell.

Australia :: Geelong & The Great Ocean Road
“This is a disaster!”
– Jess, seeing another caravan in front of us and the rain started pouring while we were heading to the Great Ocean Road
Geelong wasn’t on my list of places to visit, but after meeting Jess I had to go see it. As an added bonus it’s really close to the Great Ocean Road – which WAS on my bucket list.
Australia :: Melbourne
“It was Tolarno. You know that hotel on Fitzroy Street.”
– The Secret Life of Us
I went to Melbourne for two reasons: to see Jess again and to check out locations from “The Secret Life of Us“.
