I have traveled over 60 countries by now. And with quite some trips planned for this year, many more to discover. These are my all-time favorite destinations.

Japan
Omakase in Kanteki in Tanabe in Japan Blending in with the locals in Japan New Japan Capsule Hotel in Osaka
The first country ever in my life where I instantly wanted to go back. From visiting major cities like Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto to my first true omakase experience in Tanabe and from my memorable Kumano Kodo hike to a remarkable bar crawl.
I am planning for a future Shikoku solo hike.
Iceland
Hiking in the mountains in Iceland Frozen tent at Laugavegur trail Laugavegur trail in the snow Preparing dinner on Laugavegur trail Evening on the Laugavegur trail
Wow. Just wow. Such amazing nature, such amazing people – fully in balance with nature. Although I didn’t like Reykjavik (probably I’m just over city trips) that much, the Laugavegur and Fimmvörðuháls trails made up for that.
I would love to come back one day with my family.
New Zealand
Although I only spent two nights in Auckland, New Zealand made a lasting impression. The amazing food, nature and people, most notably my haka with the Maori Television team.
I am planning for several potential New Zealand hikes in the future.
Jordan
Jordan Trail – tea with Faris Walking through Petra in Jordan Jordan Trail through Petra Camping at the end of day 1 on the Jordan Trail
Although I wasn’t too much into Amman or Aqaba, the Jordan Trail hike from Dana to Petra was one of my favorite hikes ever. On top of that, I had some amazing experiences with locals, including my remarkable friendship with a Bedouin.
I am now planning to go back and finish the Jordan Trail where I had to stop, in Petra.
Honorable mention: Gent, Belgium – my hometown
Rooftop view in Gent The Cobbler in Gent, great view to get some work done Gent – Gravensteen
My hometown and one of my favorite destinations in the world – Gent. A very vibrant food culture, great bars, not too many or little tourists, some super nice hotels … all in a beautiful old city.
