After my phone got robbed the drama continued. My worst nightmare became reality, my bike got stolen. When I was still recovering from the robbery i started looking for a new phone. I went to the city centre to a shop called Public in the most busy street of Thessaloniki. I locked my bike extra save with 2 locks and went into the store. When i came back I couldn’t…
During traveling, things happing which you cannot predict from the couch back home. Till now it looked all like a happy story but I cannot lie about that there are also less happy moments. Everything flows up and down like waves of the sea. But sometimes it’s storms and you almost can’t control the boot from sinking. At the moment it feels like I’m on one of those boats. Heavy…
Since the end of Februari i spend my time in the capital of Greece, Athens! I really enjoyed the city. It’s a very diverse city. Besides the touristic part with al the historical ruins there is a rough city ruled by anarchist. The fact that you have on one side the romance of the ruins and on the other side the graffiti and streets where the police can’t come is…

I concluded I was in need of a place to stay for a longer while until the weather would allow me to travel again. I decided to…
After 2 months wandering in Italy i made ,with pain in my heart, the cross over to Albania. Pain in my heart because i felt in love with Italy because of her beauty, diliscous food and her passionated people. But also because i really felt at home in Italy, i really see myself living there. I met beautiful people and it was difficult to let that go and move on.…
It’s Christmas that means that we stand still and think about the people we have around us, the ones we love. We dress well, prepare the Christmas tree with lights and Christmas balls, prepare the most delicious food and eat and drink as never before. Under the Christmas tree or the socks at the chimney are stuffed with presents. A family sitting at the dining table with bright shining candles…
Last weeks a lot happend to me. I cycled the Tuscany trail, a pelgrims route in Italy. I got caught by the police and i vollenteerd at Panta Rei. A centre where you can learn about yourself and a ecological way of living. Panta Rei means litterly everthing flows. In the beginning it was hard for me because not many people speak English and I felt alone because I couldn’t…
