‘The World’; more or less… Let’s see how far we will get.

We swapped our school and working every day life with two 50l backpacks and started a journey from Europe to Asia.

We are a Marko and Selina from Germany on a half around the world journey.
We started the trip in October 2015 and travelled since then through Great Britain, Russia, Mongolia, China, the Philippines, South-East Asia, Indonesia, Australia and currently New Zealand.
So far we mostly travelled by land and we seek the unique and dynamic way of getting around. What includes everything from long distance hiking, hitchhiking, ride sharing, Couchsurfing, Helpx and Workawaying,…

Now, after being “on the road” for more than half a year, we developed a budget way of travelling, which is not a being scammy or homeless-like way, rather a smart way of travelling. To give you an impression: Our luggage consists of a trangia camping kitchen, a water filter, hammocks, oats as backup meal, multifunctional clothes…
Furthermore to keep expenses down, we do volunteering on the way, try to eat as locally as possible and quit drinking alcohol.

For now we are travelling, what we plan to do until late 2016 and start university back in Germany next year. Selina is keen to go into Eco Tourism Management and Marko plans to go into Engineering.

Overall we are trying to actively change bad days into great days and love to work towards goals through learning by doing and being openminded.
Both of us love to work hard and get things done in Made in Germany quality, along side learning by doing and asking.

See you,
Selina and Marko
