Melbourne – Part 1: Bubble soccer, bye bye Wallace, Nemo and Dory

Posted on April 19, 2017April 19, 2017

Easter Monday, 4pm. I finally found the time to write something about me and my latest miles. Time flies when you’re having fun, they say! Apparently I staid in Sydney for 8 weeks… Time to go then. 878km later, I made it to Melbourne… For free 😉 So far I’ve only seen my hostel and the […]

Sydney: Episode 3 – The Red Cross and The Blue Mountains

Posted on March 23, 2017March 25, 2017

Oh Sydney, you’re hard to get out of… My original plan wasn’t to stay longer than a week here. But thanks to amazing flatmates, I had a good reason to stay! Finding a job wasn’t easy. Keeping the job wasn’t easy. Indeed, was. As mentioned before, I didn’t have enough signups and that day my […]

Batambang – Angkor Whaat?! A week of stones and temples

Posted on February 7, 2017September 5, 2017

Enough palm trees and beaches for now. Back to the real world. I took a “hotel-bus“to Battambang from Sihanoukville. This was the best nightbus I’ve ever had! The beds were actual beds, where you could completely lay down. I had a one-person bed for myself and my neighbours, a couple from Scotland shared a two-person bed. They […]

Rock climbing, river fun and glowing plankton in Kampot and Koh Rong

Posted on February 2, 2017May 15, 2017

I left the Asean International school behind me to discover other parts of Cambodia. The trip from Angkor Borei to Kampot was rather pleasant! Smiling Khmer people and cute babies everywhere. One guy even paid for my bus trip to Kampot! Afterwards he was really surprised when he heard the price I had to pay. Tourist […]
