About this blog

Almost all of us share the same sparkling thought that there must be more. The dream to do something different, something you really want, to escape from the everyday life. After 4 years of travel team building, long discussions and hours of dreaming, we are finally setting off for the trip of our lifetime. We are looking for freedom, having no home, no job, no duties. People say we are crazy to exchange economical safety for an airplane ticket, but we think it's just fair that we have to risk something if we want to be rewarded with the freedom and experience we can still tell our grandchildren about. The chapters of those good night tales: Peru - Ecuador - Argentina - New Zealand - Thailand - Laos - China - Tibet - Nepal - India.
