travel prep step 1

Just got my decathlon order. I think I won't need more than that. #shortsbeforesuits #casualliving #almostreadytogo
happy premonitions

My neighbor's gave me a wind chime for my 30th birthday as I am leaving tomorrow. A little early but I really appreciate it. However, quite presentimental, if you ask me.
Trainspotting

10h 38min till take-off. Can't stand the minutes but already missing my girlfriend, my family and my besties. #seeyawhen30 #wholelottalove #strivingtoadulthood
Saying goodbye

Not for eternity of course, but for 5weeks. First stop Frankfurt where I'm gonna celebrate life l with my family and charge batteries. Departure is at 12:15 from Frankfurt Airport. #happyLæs mere
This train is on fire

What do you do if there's a train on fire? Answer: take a deep breath and take the bus. #alreadylate #nottoobad #buffertimeused #thekidsareallright
Frankfurt by night

What a view and what memories. Spent quite a couple of months in Frankfurt for work and remember the good old times. My colleagues, the first projects at Deutsche and the stressed Frankfurters. FeelsLæs mere
Ready to take-off

My aunt just dropped me at Frankfurt Airport and I got my first boarding pass. Next stop: London. All indicators are set to happiness. Weather is good. Check-in took about 5min from counter to gateLæs mere
Take off

London

It has been some time since. But London is calling again. At least for transit reasons. Still appreciate the hospitality I got from my host family in London. It was a fun time but probably one of mostLæs mere
Transit nightmare

What's the reason of visiting the US? How long are you going to stay? What boat exactly are you staying on? Sounds like they want to know the color of my shorts. No kidding. But: got my next 2Læs mere
economy first class

Wifi onboard, major blockbusters and a private touch... That's the life I was looking for. Starting to like long-time flights. #winedeliveryincluded
US chats

Met locals from Los Angeles on the flight to LAX. Lovely people who gave me a detailed intro on the US, the states and the people. Really appreciate that hospitality. #dontbelievemediaonlyLæs mere
LAX

Just got through customs. Never felt so stalked before. Now I know why data collection is such an issue. Anyway, now heading to Tahiti. #exhausted #finalmove #losangelesairport
So close to sleep

Just got a warm welcome via Instagram from my host. Really glad to have found such a nice host. #coutingdowntheseconds
Five hours of sleep

Never been so glad to have 5hours of sleep. Isn't enough by far but a first step. Enjoyed changing clothes in a plane wc over 11000m above the pacific and slowly start feeling like human being again.Læs mere
Ahoi!

Arrived very well. Easiest airport ever. Including welcome songs, thaitian flower bracelet and a intro to the host family. Very nice, very local. Exactly what I expected. Now fighting against theLæs mere
Switching perspectives

What can you expect? All and nothing. This so cliche phrase from the dictionary, is now full of life. Appreciate the differences, try to go along with them and set the perspective to opportunities notLæs mere
Shower

Just took my first shower onboard. Above so many stars, it's impossible to count. Seeing the milky-way and by that I don't mean the chocolate bar. Getting into the right move. I thing this journeyLæs mere
Breakfast

Fresh pineapple, passion fruit, pampelmuse and some tea. That's as simple as it is. In paradise you don't need huge buffets. It's about having a great time together and enjoy the foods nature offersLæs mere
Coconuts and first scuba

We went out with our tender to a place nearby. So many fishes, corales and anemones. The world is such a beautiful place, most people neglect on a daily basis. Everything seems to be in balance here.Læs mere
What do you do for your living?

This is probably the most popular question to ask in Europe, but not here. People don't care what you do, you are a human being and part of the world. So, it comes all down to one other importantLæs mere
Fools day

What happens if a light fools day joke turns into something you really think about. My mom identified the joke: "I'll stay in Polynesia for good and am not coming back" in no-time. But what happens ifLæs mere
Roadtrip

Took a roadtrip with Tamara (my host) to beautiful waterfalls and a daytrip around the island. There is one road in Tahiti close to the coast. 4-5 hours drive and loads of impressive views. Watch itLæs mere
Roadtrip photos part 2

Even if my battery went down before I discovered half of the island, I was lucky to use the last seconds to take some pictures.
Evening Snack

The sun goes down over Morea, the sister island of Tahiti. Even if the clouds hide the dusk you can count the seconds to complete darkness. #freshmangolikenomange #swimmingwithsharks
