INDIA – Ashari Animal Shelter

One day, when I was on my way to the grocery store in Kolkata, I saw a tiny little kitten, sitting next to a tree, yelling at me. It was so tiny that I was wondering if its mum was somewhere around. But first I went to the store, came back and it was still sitting there. It was almost hoarse from meowing all the time. Since my aunt is an expert for cats, I called her from India. I...

THAILAND – Koh Tao

Nowhere else can you do your diver’s license cheaper than on Koh Tao. There are plenty of diving schools that are pushing each other’s prices. I did my diving license at Roctopus and I can totally recommend the diving school as well as the crew. In addition, Ko Tao is also great for snorkeling! Nirgendwo sonst kann man seinen Tauchschein günstiger machen als auf Ko Tao. Es gibt jede Menge Tauchschulen, die gegenseitig die Preise drücken. Ich habe meinen Tauchschein...

THAILAND – Chiang-Mai

I traveled to Chiang Mai from Bangkok by train, overnight. In this way you can save the accommodation for the night, so I always try to travel at night when it’s a longer ride.  You can choose between a seat, lying or sleeping wagon and you arrive in the next morning.   Ich bin nach Chiang Mai von Bangkok aus mit dem Zug gereist, über Nacht. Auf diese Art kann man die Unterkunft für die Nacht sparen, deswegen versuche ich bei...

PHILIPPINES – Kalanggaman Island

What can I say about the Kalanggaman Island? Well it’s truly a paradise. So far I have to say the Kalanggaman Island has one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen in my life. I got there by boat from Malapascua Island, we started in the morning, but most people travel to Palompon, Leyte and from there with a regular pump boat within 1 hour or by speedboat, which takes about 40 min. Was soll ich über Kalanggaman...
