First: I had an awesome trip! It was a lifetime thing and will definitely be remembered for just as long. Thanks for all who made it an unforgettable experience – especially all the other like-minded backpackers around the globe.

Secondly: My postflow here at the blog had a sudden death in the middle of my South America adventure. Yes, I am sorry for the lack of videos and photos lately, but it’s so time consuming and expensive (internet in NZ and Aussie is off the roof compared to SA). When I get the time, I will make a “World Trip Best Of” compilation to share, that will give a good insight in all the amazing experiences I had in Chile, Easter Island, Tahiti, New Zealand and Australia.

Thirdly: I updated the Google Map with my (almost) complete travel route – check it out here (I haven’t updated NZ and Aussie completely yet, it will come). For anyone considering doing backpacking abroad, I definitely recommend the whole route as a perfect combination of culture, people, nature, adventure and party. Only thing to consider: it is more time consuming that one might think to backpack, and even small distances can take a lot of time if you want to get the full benefit. I could easily have spent more time in both South America and Australia, and frankly, I only saw a tiny part of what the continents have to offer…

Last but not least: I am off for my next adventure – one month of InterRail around Europe! Matter of fact, at the time of writing this post, I am sitting in the train towards Hamburg in Germany (currently arriving at Rødby to take the ferry from Denmark to Puttgarden in Germany). Our route is somewhat unclear right now, but we will most likely make it down Western Europe (including Amsterdam), cross over the Alps and then up north through all of Eastern Europe.  Ahh, so good to be going again… H. C. Andersen was right: Travelling IS life!

So long – stay tuned!
