I am Max, 28 years old, and exploring the world is my passion! During my studies I always used my spare time to travel. Most of the time not far but still looking for new horizons in nature, especially in the Alps. After I received my Bachelors degree in Environmental sciences in 2016 I traveled more than half a year solo through South America. An unforgettable time. Mostly, I made my way from Uruguay towards the southern tip of the continent and up north towards Colombia by hitchhiking. I met awesome people and received great hospitality. After I handed in my Master thesis ( Hydrology) I decided to proceed this amazing project Panamericana. This time I was traveling with my amazing girlfriend Lara (24 yrs). Between Feb and Mai 2020 we made our way from Panama to Mexico. After that we planned to continue traveling through the Western USA and Canada towards Alaska. Unfortunately COVID made this trip at some point impossible and we had to stop exploring.

This year we give it a new try and we will have a look at the beautiful Western USA.
We are looking forward meeting great people on our way and spending time together!
