We started our trip through Europe discovering new places with a motorbike
What we also discovered was a great love we had for the outdoors
Our first skiing stops were magnificent Greece and Turkey
This surreal place that reminds of Avatar is still one of our favorites
This was a perfect spot for the night. Better yet, in the morning we were awoken by hot air balloons grazing the sky right above us
This is a photo capturing the moment we entered Stars Valley in the Middle East
Getting stuck in the middle of the desert (where temperatures reached up to +50 degree celsius) coupled with sandstorms were just a few challenges we had to face
A blissful ride through the Iranian desert
Even the little one has his work to do on a worldtrip
Never expect to be on vacation when you are overlanding the world. It is often more exhausting than a life back home. Challenges and troubles with our truck soon became a daily routine. Broken gear box, near engine damage, broken power steering, ripped radiator or broken subframe were just a few problems we had to fix
Continuing the silk road through Uzbekistan
Until at last, we reached our beloved mountains in Tajikistan
We stayed at his beautiful lake for a couple of days
Hindukush rising above more than 7000m on the border to Afghanistan
And this was our first big milestone of the trip
The second highest mountain pass in the world on the Pamir Highway with 4657m
You can almost see the lack of oxygen on our faces
Freedom – that´s what you get in Central Asia
Riding horses in the mountains of Kyrgyzstan
Surrounded by millions of Edelweiss
Ger, so called yurts, are all over Central Asia
On high mountain passes you still can find snow (even in summer)
Tien Shan Mountain Range
Bizarre landscapes and huge canyons welcomed us in the Stan countries
Beautiful Russia
Nothing better than campfires under the milky way
Camping spot from a different perspective
It is always an incredible experience to meet people from different cultures, for example, this Eagle Hunter
Or this Nomad in the Steppe of Mongolia
Sometimes you have to take risks to keep going
And yes, we had a lot of scary situations like this
Did I mention that we love skiing?
No words needed…
Mongolia was probably the most surprising country we´ve been so far
The winter is coming and it is getting colder on the shore of Lake Baikal
Crossing Siberia with lots of corrugated pistes and temperatures at -30 degree celsius
Until we arrived at the end of the world in Vladivostok. That was the first year and the first part of our journey. Stay tuned for the next part!
