After staying in my van on the farm of my friends for about two months, the Corona restrictions were loosened in Germany. My van had a brand new brake system and I was finally able to hit the road again to see my family and friends living all across the country.
Visiting friends around Dresden
On my way to Berlin, I stopped in Dresden to visit some friends. I found a few good spots in the city, but I really enjoyed staying outside the city:
On the weekend, my friends and I went on a little trip into Saxon Switzerland, a beautiful national park with lots of trails.
We enjoyed nice hikes and cozy dinners in my van.
One of the highlights of my trip through Saxony was visiting a community living in tiny houses, trailers, trucks and vans on farm near Bischofswerda. I really enjoyed the vibe. Good times!
Coming back to Berlin
Coming back to Berlin always feels great. Especially in the summer.
Although I left Berlin more than three years ago, I still feel very connected to Germany’s biggest city and all my friends living there. As usual, I stayed in my old neighborhood near Tempelhofer Feld and enjoyed good company.
I also left the city once in a while to relax a little bit at the nice lakes around Berlin.
Cruising through southern Germany
After spending a great time in Berlin, I drove back to southern Germany where I spent time with all my friends across different places:
The farm near Dorfen, east of Munich,
and of course the Allgäu, the place where I went to school.
Part of my family still lives there, so that’s probably the area I consider as “home”.
There are so many beautiful places in Germany, so I really didn’t mind the international travel restrictions.
