Today it is exactly four months ago that my dream became true and this “just half a world away” trip began. Last month I was exceedingly lucky to spent a couple of days with my friends from Munich. It’s a completely different way of traveling. Special moments and experiences become even more special when they are shared with people you love. You go to more parties and dance the night away. You are more focused on your friends as on the life outside your group. Now I’m traveling by myself again, make my own decisions and meet lots of new people. But I still can share my experiences here at justhalfaworldaway.com. Here are a few thoughts about the 4th month of my journey.

Finally I’m able to just live in the moment and completely think about nothing, my mind became calm and quiet. In the past it had ever been in motion and I thought nonstop about important and less important things.

Since I left Germany I’m living much closer to nature than ever before. Sometimes I had to climb because there had been no stairs. Sometimes I had to swim because there had been no bridges. Sometimes I had to be back home before sunset because the only light had been the daylight. Sometimes there had been no electricity, sometimes just cold or even no water. And sometimes I had to take care of free wild animals. I’ve learned to communicate with hands, feet and facial looks (a sheet of paper and a pen are very useful!). I never got nervous when I had no wifi for a couple of days. And – the most important item for me – I’ve improved the perception of my intuition and I act according to it.

And the recent challenges? I was still a little child when I made my latest ride on a big wheel. Because of my height phobia. Now I made it again. 165 metres high. The worlds second highest Ferris wheel. Alone. And I’m still alive 🙂 And I tried a durian chocolate – please don’t do the same 😝
