Welcome to my blog! :)

"And at the end of the day,

your feet should be dirty, 

your hair messy 

and your eyes sparkling."

On the way to Ben Lomond summit
 New Zealand

Sometimes I walk around in a city somewhere on this planet and I look at all the people rushing past me and I ask myself how many of all those people are truly happy with their lifes? How many of all those people can appreciate what they have, that they are alive, that they are healthy? And then I look at myself and I ask myself am I happy? Do I appreciate enough, am I grateful enough? Is there a reason for what I am doing or am I just running away from something? 

To be honest, I haven't found an answer yet. Will I ever find the answer?

I know that for me happiness is not being rich, it is not having a stable life and I don't want to be part of a system.

For me, happiness is equal with freedom. When I am on top of a mountain, sweating and exhausted after climbing all the way up - and I look around at all the other Peaks, at the nature, there is no stress, no pressure, just peace - this is the moment when I feel free and when I am happy.

I have learned that freedom does not particularly mean being able to go wherever I want and doing whatever I want. Because it does not matter wherever I go, I always take myself with me. So if I am not free in my mind, if I always worry about what is going to happen next, if I am not able to adjust myself to any situation - then I can never be free. And freedom is what I want.

The Grampians National Park in Victoria, Australia

I have been travelling more than fourteen months now and I am still going. I have walked over a thousand kilometers by foot in two months, I hitchhiked all around New Zealand and parts of Australia and I couchsurfed on strangers couches. I climbed mountains, I jumped off from waterfalls and I got lost many times during hiking trips. Usually I don't really have a plan where to go, I follow my instinct and I do crazy things. :)
This blog is all about my travels around the globe and all the pictures and texts are mine. I hope you will enjoy joining me virtually on my adventures and if you have any questions or recommendations, feel free to leave comments!
