43 countries so far!
As an avid traveler, I have visited every continent on this planet and – as of March 2024 – 43 nations. That said, one of my life goals is to visit at least 100 countries in my time on this beautiful planet. After all, there is so much left to explore! Diving into new cultures and customs, learning about local art scenes, let alone trying new food and indulging in vibrant atmospheres are my favourite way to spend time. Traveling is my passion. It fills me with joy and helps me understand my surroundings better.

Most of these trips took place before this page existed. Therefore, some countries are not here yet. The majority of these trips have been documented on my Instagram channel but not here. Check out my IG and find out where life has already taken me. Eventually, I’ll revisit those trips and maybe write about them. Or I’ll actually revisit those places 😉 Anything is possible.
Why and how?
Every single trip I have ever taken was unique and I feel very blessed to be in the position to travel across the globe and explore as I please. But don’t get the wrong idea: I am not a millionaire; it’s just that seeing the world is one of my top priorities. So I just make it happen.
While most of my colleagues are annoyed by the fact, that TV jobs are often short-term contracts, I am happy about this. Despite the financial uncertainty that might bear, it allows for lengthy stays as I take time off between contracts. This – and my talent of spotting insanely good travel deals – allows me to venture out quite regularly. Otherwise I would not be able to maintain my travel pace. However, nothing lasts forever and the TV industry is suffering.
Therefore, my strategy is to venture out to the more remote places while I am still young and willing to endure some discomfort. In other words, I safe the remaining European countries for a later point in life when I might be less willing to travel with less comfort. As of now, I still can handle noisy and dirty dorm rooms.
In a nutshell: I have set foot on all seven continents recognised as of March 2024 (Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America and South America). Apparently, scientists discovered an eighth continent: Icelandia. I have yet to go to Iceland.
The Subcontinents
In addition to the seven main continents, there are five subcontinents I’d also like to explore. Despite having reached the seven continents, the subcontinents are a new challenge for me. For one, Eastern Siberia might not be possible at the moment due to the current political situation.
- The Indian Subcontinent
- Arabia
- Central America
- Eastern Siberia
- Greenland
