ADVENTURE STORY GOING DOWN SOUTH
Imagine one of the weirdest places on earth . Around nothing but empty vastness and a silence that is so absolute that you can almost hear your own heartbeat . It ’ s a beautiful night and the milky way in it ’ s full glory stretches from horizon to horizon with a cosmic shower marking clear cut lines across the sky . We are the only humans for miles , that amount of free space gives you time to contemplate . How exactly did we , two city bred Europeans , both barely finished with uni , end up here ? Well ... that story goes back a bit .
It all started with an idea ( like most things , really ). Around mid 2014 , the end of our degree was closing in fast , we started thinking about what to do after . Our families would have loved for us to continue with our masters right away or get a job , but it was clear that neither was an option for us . We wanted to get out , wanted to get far away from our hometown and see something new . There are a lot of options if you come to think of it , but most young people do the same thing . Hop over to Australia for a year of work & travel . We ’ ve never been to Australia , but from what we imagine it must be full of germans because literally everyone is there or has been there . Not wanting to do what everyone does , cushy Australia was out of the question , so we started looking into all-around-theworld tickets , but were quickly deterred by the price tag .
