My blog

Welcome to my blog!

Welcome to my blog!

I started my journey on 10 October: I hitchhiked via Switzerland and southern France to Spain to cross the Atlantic from Gibraltar by sailboat. I have already reached the Canary Islands and will soon be setting off for the Caribbean.
My first destination in Latin America is Mexico. I’ve already lived there twice and know lots of people I’m really looking forward to meeting!
From Mexico, I will travel south and my destination is Chile! I did an internship there once and gained another home in a short time.
I’m looking forward to having you accompany me on my journey! I don’t only want to write travel reports, but also deal with political and social issues. Feel free to contact me at any time with your questions and suggestions!
