This is our short video from our 6 days spent on Pulau Kecil (the small island of Perhentian islands) in August 2018. It was full of beautiful diving, snorkeling, relaxing days and eventful evenings. https://youtu.be/OwJJrWTPan8
Malaysia – Peninsula
We finally made it to our first country in South East Asia where we would meet with Alex and Joana. Flying from Darwin to KL was only a short distance flight. However, the cultural contrast was more than noticeable. For the following three weeks, we would travel across the peninsula of Malaysia, learning about the... Continue Reading →
Lessons learned from living on the road in Australia
After a few months of planning our road trip and experimenting our setup over the weekends, we finally hit the road. While both, Anna and I love planning and we felt quite prepared for it, there is always room for improvement. Here is a list of some of the things we learnt on the road,... Continue Reading →
Darwin, first target accomplished

We didn't even know about it, but we met so many Aussies that came all the way from Melbourne or Sydney just to... Continue Reading →
Car setup in OZ road trip

We sleep in a rooftop tent which takes us an average of 5min to set up. Our clothes and toiletries are arranged in the backseats of the car (we each... Continue Reading →
Diving SS Yongala
SS Yongala is a popular deep wreck dive, off the coast of Air, a town one hour away from Townsville. Many divers say this dive is within the top ten dives of the world. I don't know if that is true, but we absolutely loved it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPUs4z3yQyg
Lady Elliot Island
This video is from our 2 day trip to Lady Elliot Island in January 2018. You get to the island from Hervey Bay with a small 9 person plane and land on the island (that is just big enough for a landing strip). The island is in the southern end of the great barrier reef.... Continue Reading →
