One dream, one backpack, and a question asked at midnight: how many days does it take today?
How it began
Jules Verne promised eighty days. I sent the idea at 2 a.m. — the reply came at 2:05: let’s go.
Kathmandu → Pokhara → Sydney → onward. Stop 3 of an unfinished line.
Prologue
It began with a Jules Verne night and a message sent at 2 a.m. Five minutes later the reply came — one word — and a childhood dream suddenly had a departure date. This is how a trip around the world for under €2000 truly started.
Episode 01 · Kathmandu
We landed straight into sensory overload — incense, bells, colour and dust. We stood before the funeral pyres of Pashupatinath and wandered Durbar Square as the light turned gold. Nepal doesn't ease you in — it takes you by the hand. Walk it with us.
Episode 02 · Pokhara
After Kathmandu's chaos, Pokhara was one long exhale — a mirror lake with the Annapurna range floating above it. We were welcomed like old friends and set off on a hike by the water… before the mountain weather wrote its own chapter.
Episode 03 · Sydney · latest
On the far side of the world things turned wonderfully strange: a hotel that turned out to be a commune, free ferries between sun-baked islands, and a night at the Opera in the only formal clothes we had — which we then couldn't take off. Australia, the way we actually lived it.
Next stops
The line on the map isn't finished. Ahead: New Zealand's green edges, a wrong turn we're strangely grateful for, the red heart of the desert, and a waterfall thundering across three borders. The next chapters are already being written.
