Hey guys. Thanks for all the support but I'm back home since a couple hours. Couldn't bare the lonliness on the road anymore. I'll post my diary here in a couple of days.

Have you seen my new sweater?

Hi folks. It has been a while

…but I haven’t lost the travelling spirit

The reason why I didn’t post anything anything new for the last half year was because I was busy with other obligations. Also, I realized the last design wasn’t that good to post updates about other trips. With that in mind, I made a completely new one. But there is still a lot of work to do. Next month, you should be able to see the final result.

Where are the post about the previous trips? Well euh… I’ve lost them all. Even some pictures of trips I haven’t blogged about. All gone… I managed to retrieve some on my pc. So here is a small taste of where I have been last year

The first 24h dentist I saw… Ever

Traffic lights are your friend

Luxembourg center

Kiril buying me a map after losing my last one

Crossing the Hungarian border into Romania

If you really need to dry your clothes. Studentdorm in Maribor

Homeless in Greece

My ride to Prague

Couchsurfing meeting in Bucharest

Cool glasses eh!

The way home

Prague city center I think… Damn, I forgot :D

On my way to Bucharest

With Tijani at Bratislava

Having a drink during a midnight hitchhike

Martin at Summernight Concert in Schönbrunn, Vienna

That was the only piece of cardboard I found

Erasmusparty in Maribor

Trying to go to Hannover, ended up in Prague

Aftermath of the party

With Daniel in the pub, Luxembourg

Stuck during the middle of the night

All-night-hitchhike. Just drop me off somewhere

The important thing is that I haven’t forgotten about it. So if you are curious, buy me a beer and I’ll tell you all about it.

The next trip is planned Tuesday 31th of March, tomorrow to be exact. I’m going to England for a couple of days with Ivelina, a girl I met on my way to Paris last year. We don’t have any clue where we will sleep, and in what direction we are going. Stonehenge must be cool thou. But first, I’ll have to buy a sleeping mattress.

Hope to see you around.
Cheers!
