Who am I? Why does this website exist?
My name is Tristan, I’m from Germany and currently living in Mexico. I was born and raised in Hessen, the heart of Germany.When I dove into working adult life in 2011 at Germany’s public employment agency, I initially thrilled at my eight-year stint there. But that excitement soon faded into a dull, uninspiring routine. In my final year, I cheated by fudging my workplace entry timestamps, which led to a dishonorable exit in 2019. Naturally, they caught me after a while.
At first, I froze in shock, confronting the grim consequences this behavior might unleash on my entire future. #justgermanthoughts
Quickly though after a few days of sitting at home and contemplating my new situation, I realized what a blessing this actually turned out to be.
I actively traded options already and earned a small income from it. Why not start my long-lived dream of travelling the world non-stop now?
After taking a two month vacation from the only life I knew for eight years in the public agency I started working as a delivery driver to cover for living cost. My planning for the World Journey started in that time.
It wasn’t until 2021 when I first experienced travelling as a volunteer what my perfect way of travelling would look like in the future.I refused to become that typical tourist who follows a group from place to place or books an all-inclusive trip, jetting from the airport to a destination and back again, only to resume a dull office life.
In 2021 I went to Sweden and volunteered at a Swedish Host that renovated his house into a comfortable AirBnb with another german girl and two argentinians.
That was my introduction to travelling as a volunteer. The girl travelled via Bicycle and the argentinians already lived at his place since a while trying to get a work permit for Germany.
This experience unveiled a fresh way of traveling for me, and now I’m eager to share stories and ideas with you. Discover how you can dive into this lesser-known, thrilling approach to travel that enriches cultures, sparks deep, lasting friendships, and connects you with volunteers from around the globe!
Join me on my adventures and, if you’re interested, let my experiences inspire you to try this kind of traveling yourself!
