Working in Brisbane
12 mei 2023, Australië ⋅ 🌙 18 °C
You can see I „lost“ my beard.

At the moment I am just in Brisbane and make some money so I will not upload that much. But when I travel again I will be active.

I found a job in construction and the money is really good so i will do it for a „while“.
The time in the hostel is also really nice with all the people. It’s like we are a big family.
The sad thing is tomorrow my boys leave and some other as well, so the group is getting smaller. It means also I have more time to work, that also means I can leave earlier. I miss traveling already but I also enjoy the time here.

Ah yes I had to shave my beard because of work and I still try to live with it.

Back to work on Monday!Meer informatie

still Brizzy!
5 juni 2023, Australië ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C
This app ask me if I am already at home so I think I need a new post!

I am still in Brisbane and that will not change that quick I guess. Work is still good and lost already some kilos (nice!!) because it’s really hard the most time. Every Wednesday is payday and I start slowly to safe some money for future travels. But I am not just working, so I can enjoy the weekend with the people from the hostel. I really love the city and the hostel, everyday I come back from work and it feels like home

My beard is coming back slowly, I like that look with a shorter beard to be fair.

One year ago I was in Thailand and celebrated my birthday there, this time I will be in Brisbane. Feels good to be in different countries for my birthday. Just 4 days to go!

Wow I get old..Meer informatie

August and still here
22 juli 2023, Australië ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C
Life is Brisbane is still going on like before.
I work for over 2 month now at the same site and I really like it there.
Many nice people and the work is not to hard, the money is also good.
I plan about leaving in maybe a month, I think it’s time to see a new city but until I leave I try to get as much money as possible.

The weekends are busy as always.
It is never boring living in a hostel, as soon I come “home” I am surrounded with people I like. (What a good thing)
The most time I spent with fifty and Sid we sit always near the kitchen until nighttime.

Yes that is the life right now, work and socializing.Meer informatie

Byron Bay
13 augustus 2023, Australië ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C
Byron Bay with the boys!

When you work hard like us then you need sometimes a trip over the weekend to a nice place with good vibes.
Seven boys from 6 different countries went on a vacation!
Byron bay is a really nice and small surfer village 2 hours away from Brisbane.
We had a good and really funny time.

The last photo shows perfectly how the boys felt today after to much party yesterday.
I went today on a little hike to the lighthouse.

Now we are back in Brisbane and tomorrow we are all back to work.
Sure we will do another trip in the future.Meer informatie

Goodbye Brisbane
21 september 2023, Australië ⋅ 🌙 17 °C
After nearly 5 month in Brisbane I finally leave. I really had one of the most amazing times in my life in that city. Living so long together with people and make friends at work was just amazing. I will never forget the time and the people I met. I mean I have a tattoo with the boys, so no chance to forget them. Brisbane will be in my heart forever and I will be back sooner or later.

I didn’t plan to leave now but things in life change so I decided to pack up and go somewhere else. The timing feels really good and I am excited to be back on the road. Next stop will be Melbourne and I also have plans for after but more about that next time.Meer informatie

Melbourne
26 september 2023, Australië ⋅ 🌙 14 °C
First “holiday” stop after Brisbane.
Melbourne is a massive city, a bit to massive for me to be honest but it was good for a quick stop.
Was really nice to see some friends again from Brisbane. I had no idea the city is bigger then Berlin (5 mio. people)
I walked around a lot and tried to see as much as possible. The free tram zone helped as well.

I still can not believe that like 80 percent of the people are asian here, felt a bit like being back in Singapore.

Now I am off to Shepparton, seeing Tom and Tom (big fella) for a night and then I try to get to Perth.Meer informatie

First 3 days of hitchhiking
1 oktober 2023, Australië ⋅ 🌙 17 °C
The first 5 days (3 days of hitchhiking) are over. I already had so many nice experience and I met so many nice people.
So far it works really good I had over 10 lifts, around 1000km and 4 nights free stay.
I was waiting one time over 2 hours but normally it’s less then one to get a lift.

I stayed two nights in Moorook and had the opportunity to go on a jetski, that was really fun and also my first time.
People are so helpful and invite me for everything. Is nice to have a adventure like that and see the country in a different way.

Tomorrow I keep going with the journey to Perth.Meer informatie

Last days of hitchhiking and Perth
5 oktober 2023, Australië ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
That’s it my hitchhiking journey came to an end! After 8 days in total and 6 days of hitchhiking i reached Perth yesterday evening. Over 3400km was my way from Shepparton. I had 19 lifts in total and stayed 5 nights for free.
It was even quicker then I was thinking it will be but everything worked out really good and I had a great time. I met so many nice and helpful people, had great conversation and did also a lot of sightseeing at the same time.

That will not be the last time I been hitchhiking but for the moment I am done.
Now it’s time to make a bit more money before I leave Australia.Meer informatie

Last days of work and Christmas
27 december 2023, Australië ⋅ ⛅ 33 °C
Hello it’s me again!
I was really quite here for a while but now the content starts again.
After my trip to Perth I went back to Brisbane and back to work. Life was like always here I was “just” working and hanging out with my friends.
But now after like 7-8 month of working here my time comes to an end.
I had my last work day 5 days ago and I am happy to be free again and I am also happy about the money I saved.

New year is coming soon and then it’s time to leave Australia. I had a great time here and working was also fun but it’s time to travel again. I miss being a real backpacker!

8 days left in Brisbane and then back to Asia.Meer informatie

Goodbye Australia, hello Taiwan!

Finally we are here, a new country and journey. This time I am not traveling alone, Leon joins me for a while and we do 2 month Taiwan together.

After meeting Leon on the airport in China we had one more flight to Taipei together.
We had a really good time, every day was something new going on. Everyday we walked a lot and explored the city without a real plan but it was never boring.
The tea here is absolute amazing btw.
It’s feel great being back in Asia I really missed it. Just great food and culture over here.

Interesting fact:
The Taipei 101 was the highest building from 2004-2009 (508m).Meer informatie
