    • Day 217

      UNPAZ university Dili

      October 26, 2022 in East Timor ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C

      One day later a post again?
      For that special day I need a own post!

      Today was the first day of Uni in my life, I mean I never went in Germany, so first day as a „student“ check!
      I was more like a special guest there, I talked to a lot of students about different things like traveling, Europe, environment, money, the life in Timor-Leste and more.
      Everybody was really friendly and it looked like they been also happy that I visited them. Tourism is here not really a thing and a tourist that visit them is even more rare.
      First I had a tour in the area and they show me everything, then we went to the forest and planted some trees (picture 3).
      Doing something good for the nature is always nice.
      After we finished the work I chilled with 3 of them in a Café and we talked a bit more.
      They told me that a lot of people want to work in Europe or Australia because the money here is so bad. When you think about in Germany are people they get a apartment and money from the government for doing nothing and the people here work hard (not everybody is working hard but you know what I mean) and get maybe the half of that.

      It’s not a fair world and I knew that before, but it’s different when you see it and feel it.
      We can be happy that we are born in better circumstances. The time here is a really good reminder for me to think about something like that more often.

      The day was really interesting for me and I hope for them too. It was a big pleasure to go to university for one day. I wish all of them just the best in life.
      I will never forget that and I am thankful!

    • Day 185–192

      Bye bye Timor Leste 🇹🇱👋

      January 25 in East Timor ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C

      Being sick while traveling is not nice, but if you're lucky, you are staying in a great, nice place with awesome people. So Sara and the whole crew from DaTerra Dili Hostel took care of me so nicely and helped wherever needed, simply awesome!
      And after a few days suffering a lot I luckily started slowly to recover.
      However, after 8 days I felt good enough to travel on. There are still some big Indonesian islands I wanted to see! 😅
      So on the first of February, after staying exactly one month in Timor Leste, it was time for me to get back to Cepi and travel on by scooter, up to the north! 😬
      So it means first going down to the south of Timor island, back to Kupang, to catch the ferry to Flores.
      Would've had other plans for Timor Leste, but things are changing and listening to your body is imo one skill helping a lot while traveling...😅😉
      So some last impressions from Dili and my trip back to Indonesian Timor!
      Timor Leste, I will definitely come back, one day! 🥰

      Yoga with Jess

      August 17, 2019 in East Timor ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

      We stayed our first few nights in Dili with Jess's brother Jordan and his wife Alinda and her family. Jess lived in a little house several houses down the road. Jess took us to her local yoga class which was one of the best yoga classes that we have ever done, lots of back flexibility stretches. After yoga we walked down the beach a little to a great dinner at AnnaRead more
