After graduating from high school in 2023, I set out in search of the ultimate adventure—far from home and completely outside my comfort zone converting a van.
The ultimate adventure destination: rugged mountains, endless steppes, nomadic culture, and old Soviet bathhouses offering bizarre treatments. Kyrgyzstan has it all!
Stories from the top of Earth’s spine—trekking among mighty giants and searching for tigers in the jungle.
My 7-month backpacking trip across Asia started with a bang: a solo winter climb of the iconic Mt. Fuji. Sounds insane—but I did it anyway.
After the snow in Japan, I brought back the heat. January 2025 was wild in the Philippines—voyages and hand-poked bamboo tattoos were just a few of the highlights.
Ever heard of the world’s most dangerous festival? I hadn’t either—until I went to Taiwan. Getting shot at by rockets was definitely an unforgettable experience.
There’s only one way to explore Vietnam’s remote regions: by motorbike. Over 3,000 kilometers, a friend and I rode through the mountains of northern Vietnam.
A brief one-week stop in Cambodia before heading to Vietnam—just enough time to be blown away by the majesty of Angkor Wat. Next time, I’ll skip the bicycle in the dry season!
What if we walked an entire mountain range on foot? What sounds like an idea you’d have at 2 a.m. in a bar is something Jacob and I actually did in the summer of 2025—and we loved it. Well, most of the time.
After being on the road for almost two years, working several jobs in between, it was time for an academic comeback. So in autumn 2025, I moved to Innsbruck, Austria, to study biology—and, more importantly, to be close to the mountains. Since then, I’ve been on several missions in the Alps and experienced my first winter season while learning how to ski.
