I quit my job in April 2017 and wanted to travel as much as possible. As I really enjoy it, I try to stretch my budget, as this means I will be able to travel for a longer time.

I also try to minimize flying and stay in local places, which helps to slightly minimize my negative impact on this beautiful planet. This also means I tend to make longer trips and travel slower.

I try to fit in the Unesco sites at the places I visit and like the challenge of reaching them by local bus or train, or even by walking or hitchhiking.
