Magnificient India

I backpacked the north of India for three weeks. These are the impressions and memories I got from this amazing trip.

Garbage everywhere

This was the most shocking part when I arrived in India. There is trash everywhere and obviously no system nor institution that cares about collecting and recycling trash.

A Glimpse of China

I visited China from the beginning of last december until christmas. My backpack was filled with prejudice and the expectation of having a hard time travelling there. The reality looked quite different. China was a blast! Vibrant, lively, fascinating, contradictory and quite the opposite from the european life style. Swallowed in Beijing and spit out in Hong Kong I enjoyed China all over. Definitely not the last I have been there. Again my favorite pictures:

My brother and friends went to Slovenia last summer. With nothing more they could wear on their shoulders they’ve spent almost two weeks in the wilderness. There my brother did some filming and captured the beautiful landscape in a short movie.

Hong Kong

Mon, 04 Aug 2014 18:20:12 +0000

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.

Thailand - Krabi, Ao Nang and Railay beach

Sun, 29 Jun 2014 07:35:22 +0000

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:

Thailand - Chiang Mai and Bangkok

Fri, 13 Jun 2014 03:57:41 +0000

Almost 2 weeks passed since I’ve left home to go to Thailand. It’s unbelievable what happened in this short amount of time, here are my best memories so far.
