France 2013
4 month road tripping across the
country, where everything started...

Montalivet – a small french surf-village at atlantic coast with beautiful long beaches and surrounded by pine forests. I lived here since April and from June 2013 on in a surf-van directly behind the dunes. Thats where we met and where we start this blog since it is the beginning of our journeys together.

Starting in Lima, we soon went up with a bus to Trujillo and Huanchaco, then Mancora in the far north and from there back down south and over the 5000m high Andes into the tropical rainforest. We boarded a transportation ship and went on for 3 days on the Amazonas River to Iquitos...

After the long vacation in Peru, we needed to make some money again to keep on travelling, and since our next destination was Canada, but we were still waiting for the working visa, we decided to live a couple of month somewhere in between: on the french carribean island Martinique. We met 3 friends from France there and almost immediately felt like home, The best experience ever: swimming with a dolphin who happend to take a rest "floating" around our friends sailing boat in the bay of
