Looking forward to see you there!
The past year has been the best year of our lives. We’ve made an amazing journey, we got to share it with the rest of the world in photos and videos thanks to our partners, we got sponsored by 7 Chinese brands, and we reached millions of people in over 100 media.
We’ve put together a final slideshow of the highlights in a final report. How much kilometer did we drive? How fast? What did we spend? Which media reported on us? Here you can find an answer on all these questions.
And once again, a big thank you to all of you who supported and followed us during our trip!
We made it! We have used this sentence after every border crossing but this time it was extra special! We drove over the Erasmus-bridge, the landmark of Rotterdam, continued onto the Coolsingel and the police was escorting us towards the World Trade Center where family, friends and an overwhelming amount of media was waiting for us!
Vrooooomm through Germany! German highways are awesome! In a simple six hours our excellent BYD brought us to Cologne where we will do some video interviews tomorrow and meet our parents and best friends! Really looking forward! And ow yeah, we did the last tweaks to our website and social media channels before arrival in Rotterdam!
The ‘Hofbrauhaus’ in Munich is a great place to experience an ‘Oktoberfest-like’ feeling, even when the festival is not on. One liter of German beer per person… oy!
We are sorry Austria… we looked at you while hiking around the Drei Zinnen and were utterly impressed but today we blasted through you… Within 1,5 hour we made it from the Italian border to the German border driving through this impressive country of snow-capped peaks, the greenest valley’s and cutest villages. Auf Wiedersehen!
Almost a full day behind our laptops in this ‘Tiroller-hutte’. Website updates, photo editing, writing articles that have been in our mind but not yet noted down, video editing, video editing and video editing… and we also cleaned the entire car from the inside which was really necessary. A thorough autumn cleansing for our BYD F5!
The last outdoor activity of this journey to fully test our Ozark gear once again: an epic hike of 8 hours around the Drei Zinnen with the highest point of this hike being a mountain pass of 2546 meters. Snow was abundant, temperatures around zero in the shade and during mid-day around 20 degrees in the full sun, and the scenery truly magical!
