This is us

When I stumbled across the word serendipity one day, it struck me. What beautiful concepts are united in such a cheerful word that is able to describe a whole attitude towards life. Not surprisingly, it became our guiding principle, because as different as we are, the openness for the unexpected and the beautiful can be found in every one of our travel styles.

But how did this travel magazine come about? Let us explain! After a few unsuccessful research hours on the Internet about questions that long journeys sometimes raise, it was decided: if we can’t find such information, it doesn’t mean that those questions haven’t been raised by others and there must be a space where answers can be collected. Because such a space does not seem to exist, we created it ourselves. We decided to map this partial void of the Internet. Mapping The Void.

If you have found answers as well, which the internet and travel guides did not want to present to you and would like to share them with the world, you are welcome to support us in this admittedly somewhat ambitious task!

That’s how I started traveling

At the age of six months I sat in an airplane for the first time and that’s kind of how it continued

That’s my favorite way of traveling

With a destination in my mind but without a plan when and how to reach it, then I can’t get lost but it still stays exciting

This region is calling me

All regions, but I especially didn’t finish with Africa, but I mean when are you ever finished with a place?

That’s where I feel at home

Up to now on the road and since recently on the window board of my new room

The most unusual thing I take on my trips

My Coconutradio

Something traveling taught me

That no one will make the non-divisible world divisible, that I have a lot of time, that the craziest path is often the best, that life is a roller coaster ride and that everything will be fine in the end

That’s how I started traveling

Actually I always wanted to be abroad, as a pupil on a bicycle (Alps, Yugoslavia), as a student in a VW bus (Greece, Sahara, West Africa) as a father with different cars (Europe, Burkina Faso, Egypt) and now on a bicycle again (South Africa, Mozambique, Tanzania).

That’s my favorite way of traveling

Alone or with a loved one.

This region is calling me

Africa

That’s where I feel at home

Under a Baobab in the Sahel.

The most unusual thing I take on my trips

Wine cup

Something traveling taught me

That I am quite privileged.
