Thank you for stopping by! If this is your first time here, welcome!
If you are returning for a bunch of new travel tips, welcome back! My name is Ivan, and I’m really happy to see you here.
For several years, I’ve been living and working on the road, but my travel addiction started long before that.
I grew up in Dresden, East Germany, and never considered myself a travel expert.
My first trip abroad happened when I was 13; it was a trip to Ireland. Apart from cruises and family trips to Egypt and Turkey, I had no experience in independent travel.
After graduating from the university, I got a job with a standard two-week vacation. I wanted to make the most of that time by exploring as much as possible in foreign countries.
For me, a vacation wasn’t just about fun; I aimed to learn something new about people and places. At that time, my dream was to learn Japanese.
However, as time passed, I felt unsatisfied with my job, so I decided to quit.
Despite planning ahead, neither my relatives nor my girlfriend welcomed this decision. Nevertheless, I had no choice but to move forward.
My career as an archivist came to an end, and I began learning new disciplines that I believed would enable me to travel full-time while managing this website, spending 5 to 6 months on the road.
Eventually, I embarked on my first solo trip to Cyprus, which significantly altered my perspective on traveling.
