After working for 9,5 years as an instructor for woodwork in Ethiopia I wanted to have some time out to look for a job in South East Asia. I wanted to use 12 to 18 months to ride my motorcycle to South East Asia and a bit further to visit my cousin in Australia.
I arrived in Australia after 20 month (crossing Iran, Syria, Sudan, Yemen, Tibet, China, Vietnam), had some job interviews in Laos and Vietnam and got a job offer as an instructor for woodwork in Laos. By the time I got the job offer I had already been travelling in Australia for 4 month and had to make a decision - taking the job offer or keep going with my journey. To be honest, it was an easy decision - I kept going.
From there on my journey extended frequently for another continent (South America), another country (Cuba) or just to wait for the spring season again. At one point i thought that it would be really cool to get back to Germany (the Black-Forest) on two wheels, if possible on the motorcycle I left home on. After crossing 6 continents and about 70 countries, I arrived back home at the Black-Forest on the very same spot I left 6,5 years before in Welschensteinach, at the doorstep of my mother's house.
