Most Memorable Travel Experience
hard to say...all my travels were great! The most remote was Antarctica, the most adventurous was Central America and most beautiful landscapes Bolivia or...also exciting were the bungeejump from the Blau Krans bridge (216 meters) or the skydive above the Whitsunday Islands. The snorkeling with two 14 meter long Whale sharks in Mexico, or the dive with five huge manta rays in Thailand. That's why its so to hard to say....

Ben vorig jaar ook in Ladakh geweest! Net terug uit Alaska en binnenkort weer lekker naar Nepal! Wat een voorrecht om zo te leven!
