Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam 🇻🇳
My second time in #Vietnam🇻🇳 I just spent time in #HoChiMinhCity, or #Saigon, as some people still call it. While not super interesting in itself it is usually the base (amongst others) for a tour to the #CuChi tunnel system, about 2h towards the Cambodian border. A complex network of tunnels in a booby trapped…

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia 🇲🇾
#KualaLumpur🇲🇾, federal territory and capital city of Malaysia, wasn’t on my list for this trip but with booking cheap flights via dodgy OTAs you get what you pay for: Luckily I had checked in the night before and noticed my flight number and time changed on the boarding pass. Without telling me AirAsia cancelled the…

Brunei 🇧🇳
#Brunei Darussalam🇧🇳 is a small country in the north of #Borneo, surrounded by Malaysia and the ocean. Its 500k inhabitants are majority Muslim and I totally forgot it was #Ramadan so when I arrived on the red eye from Kuala Lumpur, I was told it’s illegal to eat and drink in public, but I could…

Hong Kong 🇭🇰 & Macao 🇲🇴
The first stop on my 1 month South East Asia Tour are the special administrative regions of #China #HongKong🇭🇰 and #Macao🇲🇴. I arrived in the late afternoon and after check-in, strolled around Victoria Harbour along the Avenue of the Stars in the dark. The next day I took the ferry to Macao for a day…

Roadtrip Gibraltar 🇬🇮, Spain 🇪🇸, France 🇫🇷
Traveling back to #France🇨🇵 started with a delay in #Spain🇪🇸, of course. The ferry company hadn’t informed us about a change in schedule and because we went via Tenerife and due to terrible weather we arrived a good 11h later than planned. This meant we went straight to #Gibraltar🇬🇮, the big rock at the end…

Gran Canaria 🇮🇨 2024
The rest of our time in #GranCanaria🇮🇨 just flew by. @zoeclares finished her Advanced Open Water and we did a bunch more dives and hikes all around the island, I racked up 12h+ of #paragliding on some really amazing days (including a 5h non-stop flight – my longest ever), we rented a Suzuki #Vstrom 650…

Mauritania 🇲🇷
#Mauritania🇲🇷 is one of the least visited countries in Africa, I suppose because it’s mainly a desert with very few classic tourist attractions. We didn’t waste any time in the apparently not very interesting capital city #Nouakchott and got picked by our driver up for some shopping. On the long drive to #Zouerat we passed…

Senegal 🇸🇳
#Dakar🇸🇳, the capital of #Senegal, is the 1st destination of our little West Africa side trip. We passed surprisingly quickly through immigration at DSS just to find that the promised hotel pickup was nowhere to be found. After we woke up the 24/7 receptionist we found out what the problem was: a.m. in French means…

2023
#2023 was a proper travel year again, finally! I finished most of the Middle East, spent about half a year in Africa, where I visited my uncle, had a European summer with Zoe, traveled in the US with my dad, where we visited family as well, and now I’m overwintering in the Canaries. I went…

Gran Canaria 🇮🇨 2023
For the first time in 6 years I’m back on #GranCanaria🇮🇨. We got a house in the middle of nowhere at the end of a long gravel road but directly at the seaside. At high tide the water is literally 5m away from our doorstep. Ziggy🐶 loves roaming around, the wifi and weather is (mostly)…
