I'm leaving on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again

"Closing Time... Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end..."  (Semisonic)

It's time to leave...backpack is pretty much packed... maybe "too much" packed... 

Heading to the airport soon...

I'm heading home for good! After almost 8 months of travelling and studying in Sydney, it's time to go back "home" and back to university.

The time that I've had in Australia, New Zealand and Southeastasia was just WONDERFUL!

I've experienced so many unbelievable things, I've met so many awesome people along my way... Some went this way with me for just a very short time, some other for a longer time.

All in all that I can say at the end of this wonderful time is that I'm absolutely glad for having such a wonderful time! It is precious and a very special gift and not everybody is given that amazing chance to live a life as I do.

I think I grew during my stay abroad, I changed my way of thinking somehow and I learned to see the world - this beautiful planet - with other eyes.

Thanks to all of you, who made this time so special!!!

Gemeinsam unterwegs



Wir sind gemeinsam unterwegs
auf einer Reise durch die Zeit.
Wir steuern unser kleines Schiff
im großen Meer der Ewigkeit.


Solang wir noch Matrosen sind,
drehn wir die Segel in den Wind,
und scheint die Zeit auch stillzustehn,
bald sind wir selber Kapitän.




Den bunten Träumen hinterher,
und ist die See auch noch so schwer,
wir hoffen, dass der Sturm sich legt,
damit das Schiff nicht untergeht.


Am Ziel der Reise irgendwann
kommt unser Schiff im Hafen an.
Wir laufen ein mit letztem Schwung,
beladen mit Erinnerung.

(Rolf Zuckowski)
