Hey everyone out there!! We are back in hamburg and back to normal life. Somehow it feels good to be back, to be with our friends and families and finally back on the ‘little family sofa’ with our crazy dog Yula. But on the other hand it feels like we want to go back travelling straight away…
This 8month trip around the world opened our eyes for beautiful places, landscapes and nature – but most of all this trip gave us the opportunity to meet awesome, great, fantastic and crazy people: YOU GUYS!!!

This article is dedicated to all these fantastic people we met on the way, people from all different kinds of nations, different mentalities and different backrounds. Even though there were lots of differences between all of us, one thing got us all get together: TRAVELLING.
We are proud to have met you all guys. You enriched our travels and made every memory quite special. Some of you are living next door here in hamburg, some of you in different countries in europe and some do live on the other side of the world.
We want to let you know, that there is always a place for you to stay in hamburg!!
We hope to see you again one day somewhere… Keep on rockin’ !!!!!
