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.

Look about the space you are in and look at the stuff around you. Nothing is floating around you! Your stuff has a presence in your home, and in my home that is unexplainable. It is there, it is useful and yet it is stuff. So why is it causing you and my problems?
We guard it, polish it, look at it, are nostalgic about it, hold onto it, fight for it, pack it away, uncover it, display it and store it. Our Stuff is really stressful! Take a look at all the things around you. They may comprise the small items you collected or the items from…
Our minds are filled with memories of the lives we lead. Each memory we have an attributed feeling or emotional tie and each time we think back on that memory the feelings and emotions return too. To look at it closer, your brain is storing all types of different data it is receiving from…
Are you Leaving it till later? Procrastination happens in most of our lives in various abundance and with some what of a stealth approach. It seems to sneak up and pounce on us, and before we know it we have been wrestling with it for days, weeks, and months. That warm fuzzy feeling that says in…
