Asia for the very first time. First solo trip. First time with a backpack.<\/strong>
Three big firsts \u2013 and I nailed them all. Check, check, check.
And then, totally spontaneous, a fourth premiere on Koh Samui:
My first-ever professional scuba dive \u2013 right into the open water.<\/strong><\/p>\n

For nearly three weeks, I wandered through Thailand on a full-blown backpacking adventure. And wow \u2013 Asia really is something else. It’s vibrant. It’s kind. It’s exotic. It’s the kind of place where everyday worries just melt away. The rhythm of local life grabs hold of you \u2013 and doesn\u2019t let go.<\/p>\n

Thailand officially joins the USA as a place that now has a special place in my heart.<\/p>\n

Want to know what the trip looked like in detail? You\u2019ll soon find all the highlights on my website.
And for those who prefer the cinematic version \u2013 check out my full video travel diary. \ud83c\udfa5\u2708\ufe0f\ud83c\udf0f<\/p>\n

But for now, here\u2019s a collection of my favorite impressions \u2013 from the very first steps in D\u00fcsseldorf all the way to the dreamy little backpacker island of Koh Tao<\/strong> in the Thai sea.<\/p>\n
