Kingdom of Cambodia
Yes, after the sleepy border between Laos and Cambodia and many “now you pay 1 dolla`” requests for each stamp and handshake I finally entered the Kingdom of Cambodia. A country often spoken about due to its relatively recent and bloody historical events. There was again, like in any other country before, a lot of action and adventure. I spent a total of seven or eight...
The Jungle Brothers
Cambodia was the only country that had some kind of defined plans. After meeting Jernej (Slovenia) and Matthias (Austria) in Vientiane (capital of Laos) and telling them my short adventures in the Lao jungle we all decided we should make some trip into the jungles of Cambodia as we were all heading there. So we set a date, in around 2 weeks time,and a place for the rendezvous. The original...
The Jungle Brothers Part 2
After the crew split we headed upstream. Having a river next by was good for direction finding, water supply and bathing.
The water was pretty fresh and the rocks at times too slippery. Many fish swam around…
An hour later or so we found this magnificent swimming hole an took a swim plus the decision to camp not too far away from it.
Matthias taking a plunge…
The camp for...
Thank you LAOS ...
This is just a quick shout out to one of my favorite countries on the whole of this trip. Leaving it behind with all the stories untold on this blog, for many other reasons and emotions that left me positively charged on the 2500km that I drove around it. The kind local people and fellow travellers I met and shared the road with (seperate post to come). Good vibes thru out this vast land of...
Last days of southern Laos
I believe this is where I left of the blog last time and much time has flowed since. So many experiences over washed the memories so I had to grab my diary to check in what juices I was simmering back then… It has been a very long time since I made updates, but step by step we will get to the present stuff without having to dig up the past.
So it seems ever since leaving the capital...

6 months of growing up on the road !
Yep, its official, I just realized that TODAY is the day when 6 months ago I landed in Hong Kong and started the chapter of my life becoming another modern bum, roaming the horizons of South East Asia, letting time pass and being an observer, a humble man on his way to find all that is given to those who can wait, think and fast. Packing the bag - bag packing - backpacking, however you call...

Updates to North Laos
The pictures and stories bellow cover the northern part of Laos. I have spent the last month touring these areas and fell in love with the people, the food and the surroundings accompanying wherever you go. I will now embark on the South Lao to reach Cambodia. It will probably be a long time before the next update from me as the little digital camera has lense issues and needs to be fixed in...
All of the Viet Nam bellow
Bellow are all the posts and updates to Viet Nam. I feel like a stone fell of my chest with this update. Took me some time, I know, but now we will be able to move on and speak about Laos where the last month has been spent. Ill be keeping it shorter and adding more pics. Maybe that way the gaps between posts will decrease. Let me know what you think. At times its a pain in the ass to do all this,...

OFF-Road Viet Nam
the mud came unexpected. we had not much time left on our vietnam visas so decided to make a “shortcut” via jungle to the next big road. the map we had showed a little path that should lead us the right way. little did we know back then how complicated it would get… haha! we left with sunny weather and after few kilometers of steep climb found ourselves in thick mist and fog. a...

Updates for China
While many rolls of film are still waiting to be developed I took some shots with the little digital camera to present you the last visited parts of this vast country. The main focus lied on Yunnan and Sichuan. The only two provinces that we decided to visit properly. So enjoy a glimpse of China while Vietnam is bringing a little surprise to the whole trip! Of all that some time later….
