In November 2023, we initially planned a two-week trip to Colombia. As I was currently applying for a temporary residence visa, I was not allowed to leave Ecuador and was forced to reschedule our trip. Instead, we did a little trip through the Ecuadorean Andes. We started in Alausi (for the train-ride, which appeared to be non-functional), and continued towards Baños and Latacunga (as basis for visiting Lake Quilotoa).

In September 2022, we supplemented our European voyage of July with two extra countries: Sweden and Norway. We started with a couple of days in Stockholm (Sweden) before taking the bus to Karlstad (Sweden) and subsequently to Oslo (Norway).

In July 2022, we went on a trip through various countries in Eastern Europe. We started in Lithuania (Kaunas and Vilnius) and continued by bus to Riga (Latvia) and Tallinn (Estonia). From there, we made a one-day trip to Helsinki (Finland) by using the ferry service. We continued our trip to Vienna (Austria) and finally arrived in Bratislava (Slovakia) before returning home.
