About

2015-07-25 Author: Claire

I am a digital nomad from Germany. Traveling is my weakness and the more time I spend on the road, the less I want to go home. My goal is to travel at least 100 countries, and at the moment I’m counting 37. I spent most of my life in Germany and the US, the country of my ancesters. Sometimes I travel on my own, sometimes accompanied by one person and not very often with some more people. Despite of that, I write most of my blog posts as if I had traveled alone. Join me today!

… And if you do join me, please don’t judge too harshly. As a non native speaker of English, it’s sometimes hard to express all feelings and thoughts in this language… I bet you will find tons of mistakes – so you have the choice to either laugh at me or correct me. However, I hope you enjoy reading my travel blog and also find some useful information, you were looking for! If you speak German, or would like to learn it, visit my German travel blog with less mistakes but – until now – more articles and pictures.
