Germany 🇩🇪 2/2023
Quick stopover in #Hamburg🇩🇪 for my niece’s very first birthday 🥰 and some preparations for the borderland. On Sunday I spontaneously decided to take regional trains up towards Denmark, mainly so I could still use my 50€ Germany wide #Deutschlandticket. From there it’s only a few hundred kilometers to Alversjö #jul2023 📸 Original post on…

Durrës, Albania 🇦🇱
#Durrës🇦🇱 is a small town at the Albanian seaside, about a 30min drive west of the capital Tirana. Even though this is one of my favorite European countries I didn’t come here to explore, but (on short notice) to visit Luke & Mel and Julz & Tracey, who I hadn’t seen in quite a while.…

Bansko, Bulgaria🇧🇬 2023
#Bansko🇧🇬, a small ski town in the southern Bulgarian mountains, isn’t the obvious next destination after Central Africa but I had purchased a ticket to @banskonomadfest a long time ago and these events are always a good way to meet up with my nomadic friends. Even in the summer it’s a bit of a nomad…

Equatorial Guinea 🇬🇶
The inaugural conference of the @mosttraveledpeople community took place in #EquatorialGuinea, a small Central African country, that’s notoriously difficult to get in to. I headed to the current capital Malabo on Bioki a few days early to do some sightseeing*. With some newly found friends I then took an EU blacklisted airline flight to Bata,…

Gabon 🇬🇦
#Gabon🇬🇦 is a small francophone Central African country which is mostly made up of jungle and national parks, apart from the capital city #Libreville, where a good third of the population lives. It’s in the top 5 for HDI and GDP per capita in Africa, mainly due to the vast amounts of oil, and therefore…

Sao Tome and Principe 🇸🇹
São Tomé e Príncipe🇸🇹 is a little hidden gem off the coast of equatorial Africa. This tiny island nation is home to friendly and very very laid-back people #leveleve The vibe is an interesting mix of lusophone Africa, Portugal and due to the crumbling colonial era infrastructure and latin-style music, Cuba came to mind, and…

Angola 🇦🇴
#Luanda🇦🇴 is one of the most expensive cities in the world, at least for expats. Another reason to just stay here for a few days. The other one being that I could’ve flown out on the 2nd June or 23rd June – there seem to be only 2 flights per month. My touristy day in…

Namibia 🇳🇦
I came to #Swakopmund🇳🇦 thinking that this little 40k town near the Skeleton coast might be quiet enough to decompress after the hectic last few weeks. But on the very first night, having gotten up at 4am, we visited probably 80% of the nightlife, so about …3 bars, and the Afrikaners really know how to…

Mozambique 🇲🇿
When I arrived in #Maputo🇲🇿, #Mozambique’s capital, I asked the #chapa driver if it was safe to walk the last 2 km to the hostel. “Às vezes sim, às vezes não” – “Sometimes yes, sometimes no”. Ok, so time to find an overpriced TukTuk and finally take nap. I’m actually glad there wasn’t all that…

Eswatini / Swaziland 🇸🇿
#Eswatini🇸🇿, or formerly #Swaziland, is the last absolute monarchy in Africa and one of the last 4 national (+ Brunei, Oman & Saudi Arabia) in the world – although ongoing protests might changed that in the near future. It’s a friendly and safe place but not very big and not super exciting. It is, however,…
