This summer I had the chance to take part in an incredible program – the Austria to Austin entrepreneurship summer school, hosted by the Texan non-profit 3 Day Startup.

The last two stops on our big China trip were Shanghai and Hong Kong. Too many impressions to even write about here, so I’ll just focus on some things that really stood out.

During my time in the US in 2016 (see my post Navajo Nation), I made a lot of friends from China, all of whom live in the city of Hangzhou. They were in the same program back then, so we spent a lot of time together and became fast friends. I promised I was going to come and visit them. Now was the time to do so.

After a very exhausting three weeks of travelling well over 9000 km by car, we had a few days left to relax on the calm and beautiful Magnetic Island. However, that didn’t stop us from taking a few more hikes around the island to see the koalas sleeping in the trees.

After crossing from a small road to a smaller road, then to a tiny road, and finally onto something that shouldn’t even be considered a road, we reached probably the most remote town on our whole trip: Karumba.

After the lavish aussie brekkie mentioned in the last post, Uluru and the Megameter slog, we headed straight for the Kakadu National Park, where we got to experience pure and untouched wildlife in a whole new dimension. Since the very north of Australia is located in the tropical climate zone, the whole park (which with over 19 thousand square km of area is absolutely huge) is bursting with wildlife.
