OUR WILDLIFE WORLD TRIP: What we've learned this year 🐵🌳

Let us rewind our travel year 2018 - where we set off for our biggest adventure so far. After traveling together for more than 10 years together as a couple, we decided to pause our jobs, sublease our apartment and head out for a one-year wildlife trip around the world.
We’ve been driving through areas with more moose than human beings and traveled through islands where not that long ago seashells were still considered a means of payment. We’ve experienced things this year, that we would have never thought even being possible.
Spending such an intense time in the wild, we’ve learned so much about nature and wildlife: Every - single - day!
And even though such a journey always looks like a gentle breeze of freedom and pure happiness from outside, it involves a ton of work and struggles everyday. But with every challengewe’ve learned something new! We grew our passion for filmmaking, got to know a lot about ourselves and blew up our personal borders.
Experiencing the issues our planet is facing in person, has hit us harder than we’ve expected. But we’ve met people standing up,making a difference and being part of the solution. Also, we would’ve never thought how few things we actually need to be happy. Experiences and the people we share them withare worth so much more.
We still have two exciting months left on this journey, but the „coming home“, hugging our friends and family againwill definitely be one of our highlights of 2019.
What else?
Stay curious.
