Throwback: 2019 – What A Year!

A dream fulfillment year. A year of travel. A year in which I gave up (almost) everything that was important to me. Who would have thought that I would actually live my vague dream, this idea of world exploration, one day. To be honest: at least myself.

A little throwback:

Where I left my footprints this year:

  • UK
  • Canada
  • USA
  • Mexico
  • Chile
  • Bolivia
  • Peru
  • Guatemala

What I learned (among other things) this year:

  • What poverty means.
  • What wealth means (and that it is not material).
  • I have the best friends in the world.
  • The world is not that big.
  • Our mother earth is so, so beautiful.
  • Sand gets everywhere (!).
  • Food poisoning is sh… (literally).
  • Making music, writing and photography connects. Always.
  • Time is relative (and what you really need, too).
  • Sometimes we just have to read the signs correctly.

I’m so excited for 2020 and the next five months of traveling. I will announce my next stop as soon as my visa is approved. Hint: it’s definitely going to be Asia.

Wishing you all a colorful, wonderful and mindful New Year 2020.
