This is me, minutes before I left on my trip around the world exactly 6 years ago.
It’s weird and funny for me to see myself on this picture. I remember all the conflicting emotions I had in this moment.. I was excited, nervous, happy, sad, proud, confused, scared, relieved, sceptical, amused, enthusiastic and in doubt.. I looked forward to everything that was to come and at the same time I asked myself wtf I was doing..😂🙈
I had no idea what to expect, all I knew was that I was going to go east towards Asia.
I (the version of myself on this picture) didn’t know - I’d see so many beautiful places on our planet - I would meet so many great people in every single country - how much this journey would change me and the way I look at life, myself and our world - about the challenges and dangerous situations I would have to overcome - this trip would last nearly 3 years - I would love this lifestyle even more than I had imagined - what freedom and feeling alive really means - that my bike would break down so often - despite not possessing much I wouldn’t miss anything - I’d be so happy travelling alone for such a long time - that life has so much more to offer than to make and spend money -
LEAVING ON THIS TRIP WAS BY FAR THE BEST DECISION I TOOK IN MY LIFE☺️
and look at my very clean and new motorcycle gear😂

After travelling around the world for 27 consecutive months, I arrived in New York City. The contrast between my travels and this city couldn’t be bigger and I’m still trying to process it all.

I reached the northern coast of Colombia after riding my bike all the way from the most southern point of this continent, Ushuaia. It’s the 4th continent of my overall trip and it took me over a year to cross this one - about 8 months longer than I had originally “planned“. It’s impossible for me to put into words what it feels like to reach such a milestone of my journey. My mind is full of so many memories, experiences, encounters, landscapes, learnings... and even though I’ve been living my dream for almost two years now, I still sometimes can’t believe I am actually doing this.
This trip has changed me in many ways. It made me a stronger and more positive person.
I took this photo right after I had my worst crash in South America - flying over the handlebar and landing head first in the sand, in the middle of nowhere, alone. My head and arm hurt and I had sand everywhere, especially in my eyes. But I’m smiling. Why? Because I didn’t break any bones and because I was positive I’d find a solution to get through the sand.
There is absolutely no room for whining and complaining when travelling solo.

After I went through the first road blockade I thought that would be it, but after that came about 20 more! they used stones, trees, trucks... luckily I was allowed to go past all of them. at every blockade lots of people gathered and at one of them I got to talk to these beautiful women♥️

the last couple of days in Peru was amazing - a perfect mix of great riding, beautiful landscape and interesting cultural history and traditions😀 a bit exhausted so I stayed in Cusco for 2-3 days to relax and then I continued north🙂

I was riding through pretty much uninhabited Chimborazo National Park when I all of a sudden saw these kids, standing by the roadside, waving at me. I stopped, got off the bike and within seconds the two boys, Alex and William, climbed onto my bike and started playing😊 the girls, Lorena and Tania, were a bit hesitant at first but after a few minutes they joined in☺️

I just wanted to take a picture with these beautiful women but then Teresa, Yveth, Maritza and I ended up spending some time together chatting about life and my journey while laughing so so much - it really made me very happy☺️

For many years of my life, travelling around the world on a motorcycle was my absolute biggest wish. For most of this time however, it felt more like something I could never really achieve. There were too many reasons that spoke against it.. at least that’s what I thought then. Looking back, none of them are valid reasons and I can’t thank my younger self enough for taking the decision to go for it no matter what and for chasing my dream!!!😀 This is the best decision I ever made.
- Don’t dream your life, live your dreams -

While riding through one of the many small villages in South Sumatra, I heard very loud music all of a sudden and so stopped to find out what was going on... within seconds people came and asked for selfies 😛 I was then invited to join them inside the tent, there I was greeted by the hosts... and I then somehow ended up on the stage dancing.. at 9.30am 😝😂

After six months and one day on the road, l crossed the line between northern and southern hemisphere 😀😀😀 Not every day of this journey was fun, but most days were -

On my way to Pokhara beginning of this week, my bike started making unfamiliar sounds and later the engine stuttered and kept dying 😪 it looks like there's a problem with the engine/ transmission... so I got transportation organized to Kathmandu where the best mechanics in town will took a loot at it 🙂, but nothing was able to be done about it, I was not to ride through Myanmar but fly to Malaysia instead ☺️ After more than a month in Nepal.
