From the planned sabbatical year, two blocks of four months each will be negotiated with the employer, interrupted by a four-month work phase. We will spend the first block in the summer of 2011 in Northern Europe, focusing on Iceland and Ireland. In the fading winter, we will start our leg to Southern Europe in February 2012. This time, Italy, Croatia, and Greece are the main travel destinations. The travel route is only roughly planned, allowing plenty of time and space for spontaneous changes and randomly discovered sights - the journey is the destination! Eight months and nearly 33,000 km on the roads of Europe are behind us. We have seen and experienced a lot, and now we have time to process what we have experienced. When such a big journey comes to an end and one is back home, the experiences seem almost like a beautiful dream. Following the motto "Don't just dream your dreams.".
