Circumnavigation
This expression could also suggest a trip around the world by boat or ship. What we liked about it right from the start was the fact that we are also weighing anchor, to borrow a piece of naval jargon.

To set sail also means leaving familiar and dear things behind (Rösti, fondue, chocolate, etc.) in order to reach new shores. We are looking forward to the latter but at the same time are a bit sad to leave our families and friends behind in Switzerland.

The journey is the destination
Our plan is ambitious - we are aware of that. Of course we know the saying “man thinks, god directs.” And yet, such a journey must be planned. It has taken us about three years to prepare this trip. But ultimately, we know that the journey is the destination. And we are looking forward to it enormously - whether it will take one, three, five or seven years. Last location

Many thanks!
Despite our enthusiasm and experience, which we gained on previous trips, it has been impossible to do everything ourselves. Without the help of our friends, colleagues and family, we wouldn’t have managed to get it off the ground. And once on our way, we will certainly sooner or later need help again - from Tuaregs, for example, for directions to the next oasis, from a customs officer for help in completing formalities or from a “gomero” in Bolivia for the repair of a damaged tyre so that it will last another 200 kilometres…

Without the support of our friends, the logo and Internet presence wouldn’t have been possible. Special thanks to Giusi and Dominik and everybody else who has helped and supported us.

Keep your fingers crossed for a successful trip and a safe return!
