I came across this post on the BBC Website (all pictures are from the BBC website too by the way) and wanted to share it on.
I would suggest you look at it on a computer as the images and site display the journey beautifully. An amazing story of Gunther and Christine and their journey around the world in same vehicle over 26 years! Now that has to be a record – Oh it is…
My favorite quote from the article was when asked why there was no social media site, no loud and amazing website to show what they had achieved, Gunther replied,
“he says, he and Christine travelled for their own enjoyment, not to shout about it to other people.”
Their journey in “Otto” is a proper story. A vehicle with minimal electronics, that has been taken all over the worlds surface and with pictures to tell, I can tell you it is worth the read.
I hope you enjoy reading about Gunther and Christine as they travelled the globe.

I am an Existentialist! What a strange statement to make! Who really cares about what I am? I care, and I am interested to know what you are! We all have outlooks in life. Some are tinted by a religious belief, others have thick blinkers on to avoid looking around. If anything, being a something…
Decision making is easy if you know what the choices are!
