has travelled Asia

From October 2010 to January 2011 I explored Asia:

I started my travel in Hamburg and hitch-hiked via Berlin, Warsaw, Kaunas, Riga and Tallinn to Russia. In Peter I changed my means of transportation, taking the Trans Siberian/Mongolian Railway, stopping in Moscow, Ekatherinburg, Irkutsk, Ulan Bator and finally reaching Beijing. After a stop in Kunming I hitched through Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and Thailand. Unfortunately its hardly impossible to enter India over land from the East so I flew from Bangkok to Kolkata, where I did a Vipassana meditation. Unfortunately I also caught a serious infection there so I arrived sick in Chandigarh. After a week in hospital and two more of recreation at my friends (actually my friends Nistara, Guntas and Yasleen saved my life, thank you so much!) place I had to go back to Germany… My initial plan was to hitch back via Pakistan, Iran, Iraq, Turkey and East Europe.

I hitched and couchsurfed as much as possible, which was working out great! Just in case I had also everything on me to camp. My idea of traveling is mainly to meet people, not to visit all the countries and cities but the people who live there. And thanks to Couchsurfing I made more amazing experiences than I could ever have dreamed of!
