I travelled around the "Old Continent", Europe, already as a teenager: For example, I have been on numerous (beach) holidays in Greece, where I have also been sightseeing (at least during my late stays), as well as on several city breaks in Italy.

However, I discovered the real joy of travel quite late, namely in fall 2003 during my Auslandssemester (study abroad) in New York City. Since then, I have travelled a lot, as you can also see on my Travel Plan and/or my Travel Statistics:

In April 2004, I visited the United States once again, and in summer during the same year, I spent one month in Australia.
Also in the following year, 2005, I travelled a lot: In May, I spent more than three weeks on holiday (almost) all over Europe, and in August I enjoyed a month long holiday in Canada.
In the year 2006, I did not travel that much due to my job, but I again went on holiday to North America, this time on a tour through the "Atlantic Maritimes", organized by the travel company Footloose.
In the year 2007, my holiday destination were (mostly) within Europe: Due to a conference, I spent one week in June (of which four days were for leisure) at the Lago Maggiore. Right after that, I was on a two-week long holiday in Ireland.
In late 2008 and early 2008, I enjoyed my next holiday, this time in South America: I spent just under a month in Argentina and Chile (mostly in Patagonia) on a Viventura tour.
Between late September 2008 and mid-May 2009, I departed again on a long trip. This time, it was indeed by a really long trip – a RTW trip!
