We have become Seminomads!

Even after our seven-year trip around the world (2006 – 2013), the travel bug has not let go of us. (The fact that we didn’t sell our tour vehicle when we returned was a clear indication that this wasn’t our last trip!)

In 2017 we started the Bucket List Tour, which took us out into the world again for a few years. The «Grande Amburgo», a RoRo ship of the Grimaldi Line, carried us from Hamburg to Montevideo in 34 days in October 2017. We then traveled Uruguay, Paraguay, Argentina, Chile, Brazil (from where we made a detour to South Georgia and the Falkland Islands), French Guyana and Suriname. From Paramaribo, Suriname, we shipped to Veracruz, in Mexico.

Via Mexico we went along the east coast of the USA to Canada. After touring Newfoundland and Labrador, we crossed the continent to Vancouver and traveled down the West Coast to Mexico. We were on Baja California when the Covid pandemic hit which caused us to change our travel plans. Instead of going to Colombia, we shipped Mahangu from Veracruz, Mexico, to Walvis Bay, Namibia, where we have the Permanent Residence since many years.

In the meantime, we have become seminomads and next to our home in Kandersteg in the Bernese Oberland we have a small house with a lock-and-go character in Swakopmund, Namibia. Travel will continue – albeit on a more modest scale in Southern Africa! Mahangu is ready when we get the travel bug again…
