first of all i want to thank you guys for coming to the meet up in a not-so well known city in europe. many people have never heard of düsseldorf before outside the germanic speaking countries, but you did and you've put düsseldorf on the map. i dont know how many times will i have to say t…

.... and finally it has come to an end. we may not have followed the original road of our roadtripping map, we missed andalucia, the great desert beaches, swam in the beaches of algarve in portugal, and the beautiful cities of sevilla and granada, but we were on a "trip" that many lessons in life t…

Construction Area!

Yes, I was definitely excited about the meetup in Dusseldorf that I didn't mind waking up at 4:30 in the morning (I slept at 1:30, what the $&&*$*?!) to catch that 6am train that leaves the nearest train station here, which is located from another town and walking there takes me at least&nb…

All of us were looking forward to this excursion, for sure! Travelling around, getting to know some more regional surroundings and enjoying a few relaxing hours is one of the nicest and most welcoming thing about studying or working.   Lucky us, the weather cou…

How TravBuddy's look like The Day After! We spend the entire evening in restaurant Zollhof and after that we kept the Weissen Bär Bar open till 5 in the morning. Checkout time at the Backpackers Hostel on Sunday was 11 o'clock sharp!  Don't forget to strip off your bedlinen a…

The second day was a day just for some sightseeing. Everybody else was gone so Anna-Isabel and I walked through the streets and we were heading to the philosophersweg to get an overview of the castle. The weather was not so good. We had to bring our raincoats and actually had to wear them…

Again it was a sunny day when we left for Heidelberg on Friday. First I picked up Ket at the railwaystation in my hometown Zutphen. From there we drove to Zieuwent where Jos lives. He knew the exact shortcut from his house to the German Autobahn. Up to Düsseldorf to pick up Lauro. We know he likes…

Third and final part (for me) was the dinner at "Zollhof Trattoria" which is located in the media harbour. To make a long story short: we had a great dinner which resulted in an 2,000 Euro invoice! :-D After the dinner (0:30 am) some of the others went to a nearby club. Unfortunately I had to call …

We've arrived!  We found a rest area/gas station right before the German border which had the sign so we could all go take photos with it! :D We decided to let Ket out of the trunk to stretch his legs while getting gas and then it was off to Dusseldorf we would go!  We took a number of …

After a fun night in the old city with the pre meetup group I was ready for another round. :DWe met at the mainstation and there were so many people. That was just too cool. Since we had to wait for another 4 guys I had the time to talk to a few new members who just arrived on that day.For example …

The Baltic Sea is one of the Germans' favourite domestic destinations to travel to. Many families have been spending their extensive summer holidays there for generations because they’d been bitten by the ‘Don’t-you-dare-to-go-somewhere-else bug’ and, honestly, who could blame them? L…

Friday June 6 I took my train heading to Zutphen central station where Alex had to fetch me. Why bad things always happen to me? My train was delayed for 15 minutes. After Alex fetched me, we drove to the hometown of Jos and then up to Dusseldorf!!! Why? Coz we had to fetch our little friend Lauro…

Jos, Ouss and I went direct to the Hbf to meet the others, arriving at 4:45, just in time (or so we thought).  We waited for a while and had a chance to meet the other travbuddies as they gradually wandered in, with roll call coming around 45 minutes later.  Joining us here were kat_…
