Little heads up on the current situation: I’m not sure if I will keep HLWT as my actual travel diary, it seems like too much of an effort to pull off, especially since there have been so many “regular” travel blogs already. I’m keeping the space just in case and I’ll see what I will [...]

If you’re in Europe and you’ve never been to Praha, don’t do the same mistake I did- just go. I don’t really remember why I kept postponing the trip, usually in exchange for other places like Barcelona or Amsterdam. Turns out Prague does not only compare, it outshines (not Barcelona- nothing outshines Barcelona-, but Amsterdam [...]

… and while we’re already on the subject of my itinerary: my first stop (after the two day stop over in Abu Dhabi, where I’ll visit my uncle and his family) on the trip is going to be Bangkok. As you’ve surely have heard, Bangkok has been the victim of political riots. Here’s the hasty [...]

If you’ve seen my world trip itinerary, you know I’ve left out what is probably the most gorgeous place on earth: India. Everyone who’s ever been there raves about it like no other place I’ve heard of before- the culture, the culinary, the people and the nature are a shoestringers’ rapture.

So, I told you I’d get my ticket today- and I did. Okay, to be fair, it’s not just a ticket. Instead of buying the well known and fully flexible common RTW-Tickets, I opted for the affordable STA-Travel leg-by-leg offer. Yes, I have to chose the dates in advance which sucks, but at least I [...]

Just jumping in quickly to announce that I’m buying the ticket tomorrow. I’ve talked to my bosses, to my parents, to all of the important people now and while not everyone seems to approve, nobody has shut me down yet (am I actually insane for doing this? Probably).
Sony made an interesting viral about taking [...]

Berlin has gone back to rain and frost and I have gone back to working too long hours. I would love to prepare more for the trip, but really there isn’t much to plan yet without having bought the ticket and with so much time ahead. At least not thinking about it makes time pass [...]

For all of you already on the road (or soon-to-be) and who can actually afford such glamorous a companion as an iPhone, listen up: as the Volcanic Ash is still forcing people to stay put in their traveller’s momentum (or maybe even to take the chance to go on a sailing trip, hitchhike a country [...]

You don’t know how difficult it was to pick out a proper and flexibly changeable itinerary. Seriously. Even if you know those two or three sweet spots that you want to see, you’ll always be scratching your head and reconsidering if this is the best possible way to go. This is too much of the [...]

So I guess this question is going to come up at some point or another (because it always does and it’s pretty annoying and I can’t be any more passive aggressive about it): what does Have Love Will Travel mean? Is it a literal German translation of something? Is it a meaningful phrase taken out [...]
