India 2010

Great – nothing can go wrong now!

The friendly driver of the 1st leg of the journey

The 2nd driver – there is no info radio so you simply ask the bus driver that comes your way if there is trouble ahead

I like to travel, and I like to snap pictures!

My mother got me an Eurorail ticket when I was 15, and together with two friends, we adventured into France. This was the beginning of a new addiction. I do like to take pictures, so one thing leads to another. On this site, I want to share some of my pictures and some of my trips with you!
Now I am on the road for more than 8 months every year. Visiting old friends and making new friends while exploring this big blue ball.
