I heard many good things from some friends about Koh Phangan. That it is relaxing, has parties, and nice people.

Discovering secret beaches with my bike. Driving, walking and checking around. And in the hostel it would be something naughty in the shower…

Very comfortable because there are nice people around and it is not noisy in the dorm. It is very secure because all my stuff is on my bed and nothing is lost.

To slow down and do not be a perfectionist.
What are you gonna do after here? And what is your plan for the future?
I’m going to Cambodia firstly, then, to Vietnam. I will buy a bike there and continue to travel till the end of April because I need to go back to Germany for my work.
As for my future plan, to quit my job and open a bar with one of my Turkish friends in Germany.

Do not change. Stay the same. Keep the vibe.
