My site has been down for one week. So what happened? Well, I still don’t know :) This website is hosted by Amazon Web Services. One week ago I updated and rebooted my EC2 server. Then it simply didn’t boot anymore. I was very furious, that’s a typical worst case scenario. Luckily the volume wasn’t affected at all, so I was able to get my backups and configuration files without effort.
After 3 months my trip has come in New York to an end. I’m feeling sad to finish travelling but also happy to some familiar faces soon.
I want to thank all the people I’ve met on this journey and made this trip a unique experience.
Here’s a quote and some pictures to say Goodbye New York.
My USA trip has almost come to an end. I had a great time here in California and Nevada. I never expected to meet so many people while travelling alone in the USA.

The last 4 days I’ve spent in the absolutely astonishing city Hong Kong. So far the most crowded place I’ve seen. Skyscrapers that look like toothpicks stand so close to each other that you sometimes can’t remember being in a city, it rather feels like being in a canyon. However getting around is still pretty easy, the MTR is convenient and some buses are even free to use. Without public transport this city wouldn’t work.
For those who haven’t seen it yet. This interview with David Belle (legendary founder of Parkour) and team Storm member Tim “Livewire” is a must see.
Within 3 weeks I’ve travelled the Australia East Coast. I’ve started in freezing cold Sydney and took a flight to Brisbane. From Brisbane I’ve travelled with the Greyhound buses up to Cairns and had a stop in Rainbow Beach (Fraser Island) and my favourite place Airlie Beach (Withsundays).
Pipapo, blah, blah, blah. I don’t have much battery left. Here are some pictures from Singapore and Penang (Malaysia):
Yesterday I left Thailand and went to Penang in Malaysia. I wished I had more time to stay there, it’s such a beautiful country, the food is incredible and the people are so nice. But what I miss most are definitely the scooter rides. In Thailand you don’t need a license to drive a scooter, a helmet is recommended. During my last ride I tried to create a hyper lapse with my GoPro camera, I’m not really happy with the result, but it’s all I’ve got:
