A Small World

Hi! I have always loved to travel, so I thought: why do I not simply travel around the world and experience as much of it as possible? Lets see together how it turns out and when it ends. Read more

    Sesimbra

    July 24, 2022 in Portugal ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

    Excited and energetic we wait for the boat that will take us to the dolphins in front of the portuguese coastline, in the west of Sesimbra. The driver is a nice native and almost immediately finds us a dolphin pot. But they are sleeping after a good breakfast, so we head of as soon as they are too many boats around the pot. Eventually we are lucky and find around 30 very active dolphins, which swim along, sometimes even jumping out of the water. Additionally, we are alone, because we drove down the coast for about 10 minutes until we almost were at Cabo Espichel.
    After a good swim we finish by seeing some caves and driving back to Sesimbra along the coast.

  • lisbon

    August 30, 2022 in Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

    One month of lisbon... One half of my days I spent in a classroom learning how to write in portuguese, but the other half I had time to enjoy lisbon not even counting the weekends. So I tried to experience as much of lisbon as I could. I had the opportunity to get to know lisbon from a completely different perspective, as I spent my everyday life here and saw places that I otherwise wouldn't even have know of. By far the biggest difference to Germany is that I could get a good coffee not only in the subway station of marquês de pombal (in the subway for good sake) but anywhere you went, really. I fell in love with the portuguese lifestyle and will absolutely miss Portugal.Read more

  • Quad Bike Tour

    September 5, 2022 in Brazil ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

    A very exciting quad bike tour along the beach from Flecheiras to Mundaú. We drove the quad ourselves, which made it a 1000 times more fun. A nice sunset on top of the dunes and after getting back to the hotel a less refreshing, but more warm jump into a what felt like a heated pool (by the sun). The last three nights, we stayed at my grandfather’s apartment and now we decided to stay at the hotel.Read more

  • Kitesurf Guajiru

    September 7, 2022 in Brazil ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

    The beginnings of my huge Kitesurf journey. Ups and downs, elations and injuries but in the end I mastered the board and made tricks the world has never seen look easy. Irony aside, I enjoyed every second of it. But convince yourself with the photographs.Read more

  • passeio do leste and alchemyst

    September 13, 2022 in Brazil ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C

    The first trip I did and one of the reasons I stayed for so long. Nice lagoons to stop by and relax. Felipe and I had a great time going to the different beach clubs. I came back to the alchemyst a different time to stay there the whole day.Read more

  • passeio do oeste

    September 14, 2022 in Brazil ⋅ ⛅ 31 °C

    The day after the passeio do leste I did the passeio do oeste with Felipe, Fernando and Thiago. Put 4 young men that have incredible chemistry on a buggy to do a trip that lasts a whole day and well... you are going to have one hell of a trip.Read more

  • Jericoacoara

    September 22, 2022 in Brazil ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

    Jericoacoara... I intended to stay one night and left today after arriving on Monday, 12th of september days. The party city with style and places to relax during the day at the same time. If there is a city to meet nice party people from all over brazil it is in this little city. I think this were my best 10 days of the trip so far, I met so many nice people that already invited me to their respective cities and had some of the best experiences of my live with this group. I say that a lot: "best days of my live". That is because it so often is difficult to say wether I had had a better experience before. This is no different, except I certainly hadn't had any experience like it so far.Read more

  • Belo Horizonte

    October 8, 2022 in Brazil ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

    So far my favourite of the big brazilian cities. While not near any sea, Beagá impresses with a beautiful, relaxed and green city that has a lot of nice, calm parks and a nice nightlife.
    The stadium is of course also very good

    PS: sobald du das gesehen hast, sag mir nochmal, dass BH es nicht wert ist!

  • Ouro Preto

    October 9, 2022 in Brazil ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C

    Nice little town from the epoch when brazil still was a portuguese colony. Interesting to see the good, but mainly the bad from those times. The first independency revolution started here and there is a nice museum with it’s history. Though very touristic Ouro Preto gains back his charm due to it’s the university.Read more

  • Petrópolis

    October 12, 2022 in Brazil ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

    Beautiful city in the hillside. Unfortunately I couldn’t do much because I didn’t feel very well, but I still enjoyed my stay.

  • Rio de Janeiro

    October 15, 2022 in Brazil ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

    Not much to say. Mandatory stop. Worth it.
