Cambodia, a small but beautiful country, was our next destination after Laos and Vietnam. We had debated for a long time whether to visit Cambodia, as Thailand and Cambodia had just started a war. However, after careful research and deciding to avoid the border regions, we decided to go ahead. Fortunately, we didn't experience any problems related to the war during our stay. Our flight from Vientiane to Phnom Penh, our first stop in Cambodia, was quick. Even on the drive from

Just a quick heads-up: If you're coming from Germany just for the sun, Cyprus can help. Just keep in mind that there are sunnier destinations that are quicker and cheaper to reach from Germany. You should plan for a 4-hour flight. The houses and infrastructure are certainly 20 years behind Germany. But Cyprus makes up for a lot, of course with the weather, the beautiful beaches (whether rocky or sandy), the delicious food, and the stunning scenery. If it gets too hot for you

Laos, a small but beautiful country, drew us in from Hanoi, Vietnam. Our first stop was Luang Prabang, the capital at the time, located in the north, which, despite its poverty, offered breathtaking landscapes. Our accommodation was perfect, with a great pool, rooms, restaurant and friendly atmosphere. We decided against motorcycling due to the poor roads and booked a tour through GetYourGuide instead.

NO travelogue of our moped tour through Vietnam in 2025 Who the fuck are we? We'd like to briefly introduce ourselves. My wife Kerstin, born in 1966, is a winemaker, saleswoman, and all-rounder, and I, Rainer, born in 1960, a craftsman, project manager, and jack-of-all-trades. We've been married for 35 years and are the proud parents of Rebecca and Dominic, who are independent and well-established in their lives, each now raising one child. They've also inspired us to explor

We spent a long time deciding where to go on our first trip, and we had actually already finalized our plans for Indonesia. But then we saw a video about Vietnam and immediately fell in love with the country. So we started planning our trip to Vietnam. We researched buses and trains in Vietnam and, after much deliberation, decided to travel the entire distance from south to north, almost 4,000 km, by motorbike. I had just gotten my motorbike license shortly before we left Ger

This may sound strange, but it's true. When we first visited this beautiful island, we didn't give it a second thought. How could there possibly be a water shortage on an island? Of course, we didn't pay attention to our water consumption while showering, washing dishes, or brushing our teeth. However, we now think differently. After all, this is our new home, which will soon no longer have enough fresh water. Cyprus has 108 reservoirs, but unfortunately, for years they haven
