Around the world (again)!
Unbelievable, but true: Starting in autumn, I will be going on a round-the-world trip for the second (!) time. This time, I will be on the road a bit shorter. Still, there should be enough time to enjoy both revisits (like New Zealand) as well as exploring new destinations (like French Polynesia) along my route.
