Und es wurde ein Ritt, im Nachtzug von Chiang Mai bis Bangkok. Um 15:30 Uhr ging es los, um 05:30 Uhr am nächsten Morgen kamen wir an. Geschlafen hab ich mehr schlecht als recht. Aber macht nix, wenn der kleine Bruder mal Nachtzug fahren will, dann macht mir das nix aus. Von Bangkok Eakkamai Bus […]
Reisen
Doi Inthanon, rollend den Berg hinauf
Meine Zeit in Chiang Mai begann leider mit Schmerzen. Ich hatte mich verkühlt und es wurde so schlimm, dass ich Antibiotika und Schmerzmittel nehmen musste. Mittlerweile sind zum Glück die Schmerzen weg. Ein paar Eindrücke von Chiang Mai habe ich trotzdem sammeln können. Nichts hielt mich davon ab, einen Trip auf den höchsten Berg […]
Next stop, Bangkok!
Und es geht wieder los. Backpacking-Time! Wenn ich mich richtig entsinne, hatte ich seit September 2015 keinen richtigen Urlaub mehr (wenn ich die teilweise stressigen Weekend-Trips nicht mitzähle. Aber die müssen sein, wenn die Hummeln surren). Umso mehr freue ich mich auf die bevorstehenden 2 Wochen in Asien. Ich bin jetzt wirklich urlaubsreif… Ich mag […]
Dubai
Ich schreibe diesen Text zur Abwechslung mal wieder auf Deutsch: Im Oktober 2014 war ich für ein paar Tage in Dubai und habe, obwohl es nur eine sehr kurze Reise war, doch einige Eindrücke sammeln dürfen. Dubai hat den Vorteil, dass man dort, wenn es in unseren Breiten recht kalt ist, viel Sonne und Wärme […]
Trekking In The Himalayas – Annapurna Circuit, Nepal
This trip was one of the greatest experiences in trekking and backpacking I had so far. Nepal is a very beautiful country, with lovely people. All the best for Nepal. I would love to go back someday. In April 2014 I went to Nepal, on my own. I took the plane to Kathmandu and my […]
Beirut
In May 2014 I got the chance to visit Beirut, the capital of Lebanon. I was in some Middle East countries before, so I was quite curious. I took the plane from Zurich, via Istanbul and when I arrived in Beirut there was no luggage… Which was a bit of a nightmare, because I had […]

New Zealand – A Dream Comes True
This trip is quite a long time ago (February 2011), but when I think on this journey, it puts a smile on my face. I was in the middle of my studies in Austria and had a „semester break“ of about one month, so I took the chance to realize one of my dreams which […]

Temples Of Angkor, Heart And Soul Of Cambodia
What can I say about these wonderful temples near Siem Reap… They are just wonderful and absolutely outstanding among all other temples in the world. So far I saw some of them, but especially Angkor Wat, Bayon and Ta Prohm are wonders of architecture. Angkor Wat was built by the Cambodian King Suryavarman II in […]

Battambang
The bus ride during night from Phnom Penh was ok, although the streets were not in a good condition. I shared my bed with a nice cambodian lady but did not sleep a lot because I was too scared and always thinking that there will be an accident… Thanks god we all survived. With three […]

Next Stop: Phnom Penh, Cambodia
After a 7 hour bus ride from Ho Chi Minh City (I can highly recommend the ABC bakery there… Sooooo delicious pastries and coffee and smoothies!) I arrived at night in Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia and catched a TukTuk which went directly to the guesthouse of my choice where I did some research […]
Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon)
In total I stayed five wonderful days in Hoi An and every evening I went to a different tailor to try on my ordered clothes or shoes. It was a fantastic time there and I would love to come back, not only because of all the tailors! This little city just has it all, for […]
Hoi An, My Pearl Of Vietnam
After I arrived from Sapa in Hanoi I took the plane to Danang, from where it was about 45 minutes by taxi to Hoi An. I saved a 16-hour-bus-ride with that flight. To be honest, I did not expect these long distances in Vietnam to travel from one city to another. And what can I […]
Trekking Around Sapa, Part 1 & 2
Part 1 Sapa is known as one of the best trekking areas in Vietnam. By nightbus from Hanoi I arrived early in the morning at 5:00 AM and the bus driver was so kind to let us sleep another 1.5 hours. The drive was ok and I could sleep a few hours, nothing compared to […]
Halong Bay, UNESCO World Heritage
One day in Hanoi was ok for me, so I decided to go on a day trip to Halong Bay. As I only have the 15 day visa (new law, free of charge for European passport holders under special conditions) I need to make choices. It was an organized tour and in the morning I […]
Hanoi, Capital Of Vietnam
I arrived safely by plane in Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam with a population of 6.7 million people. I spent one day there, mainly in the old quarter and wandered around Hoan Kiem Lake, went for a noodle soup, prepared my next day and went to the night market Don Xuan. I found out that […]
