02/10/2014 Time for the first update! Welcomed by a great CS host, I hiked two parts of the East Coast Trail in Newfoundland. Check this thread for the first pictures!
Today is the beginning of a new chapter in my life. I quit my job, said good bye to friends and family in both Frankfurt and London and just arrived in Newfoundland, East Canada, starting my trip around the world for about three years. I also put up a small video clip showcasing how it all began back at the age of three 🙂
Climbing has been a very important part of my life in London and thanks to a bunch of really cool people, I could also experience it outdoors a few times. Click on the picture to read my summary and also check out the video at the end of the post from the 30m cliffs at the Isle of Portland, England.
Just about one and a half months from now, I will start my big journey by flying into St John’s in Newfoundland, the most eastern city of Canada. I will do a lot of trekking there before heading over to Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, eventually ending in the busy cities of Quebec.

Morocco will give you a good taste of the Arab culture with it’s vibrant markets, oriental cities and landscapes. I spent eight relaxing days in the country after three weeks of strenuous hiking in Greenland, using Airbnb for the first time and ending up in a great Moroccan riad in Marrakesh through it. Joined by my friend Reem, we explored Marrakesh, Tanger, Chefchaouen and Rabat together.
After some very exciting weeks climbing Kilimanjaro and cruising through the Serengeti, we now make our way to Zanzibar – the last stop in Africa before heading home via Dubai. Just like everyone else, we are here to relax at the beautiful beaches, drink cocktails and do some Kite surfing.
5 months ago, I decided to travel around the world from October on and now it’s time to provide some more information. The first flights are booked, most of my possessions sold or stored at my parent’s place and my estimated time on the road doubled to nearly 3 years! Check out this post to read about my first destinations and current status of my preparations. Read the rest of this entry »
