The Gambia – Toubab MC

Ever since I went home earlier two years ago, and never made it beyond Dakhla in the old firetruck, I've wanted to go back and at least experience The Gambia for a bit. This year I finally made it happen and booked a ticket for about two weeks…

Fort Tafnidilt

We encountered this abandoned fort in Morocco last month, during one of our most extreme offroad days. It was quite interesting, and different from the european, industrial abandoned locations I usually visit, so I feel it deserves a dedicated…

To Africa: Dakhla – Casablanca, The End

Back in September, when I came back from touring in Spain with Edelweiss, I met Lukas, a fellow tourguide in the hotel in Mieming, Austria. Lukas started together with me as a new tourguide this year, and though I hadn't been on tour with him,…
