Hello K & A!
great to hear you are coming to Europe for change! Its been a while since I was here at your www to check the news. Very interesting stories!!
My son will be 9 months now, and we head to Malaysia for a month vacation. He just have to start learning the Travelling Thing 🙂
Take care, and hope to meet you somewhere in Europe for a chat!

What happened with your story from Europe?
I just added a link on my site to your article on living cheaply in Cuba. I’m currently studying abroad here in Habana, and it was great to see such well-organized information. I’ve been picking it up here and there over the last couple months (USE MONEDA NACIONAL!!!), but it was great to see it presented so succinctly! Thanks!
Wow, great site! It’s an amazing read and gives me quite some inspiration — apart from the vegan thing actually. Love your projects. :-))
Hey Katja and Augustas,
Once in a while I check how your travel continues.. and it all sounds amazingly great (apart from the attact). But hey, it was funny to read how you met bassdrumben in Cuenca… I hitchhiked with him, in South East Asia few years ago! The world is small! Cheers guys, and keep the good work!
Still travelling around the world… Wonderful to read your stories!
Greetings from Barcelona!

Hi guys! It’s Zeus, from Mérida-Venezuela. It’s such a pity we could never get to meet. I was even preparing a lunch for you with my family but you dissapeared all of the sudden! 🙁 Anyway, I’m happy for you and wish a good time in Ecuador 🙂
By the way, that movie that boy almost forced you to buy haha it’s mexican! Cantinflas is a classic mexican comedian, very very very popular in all of Latin America, at least some time ago. I suggest you to watch it if you want to know a bit of the Latin American comedy and classic cinema.
And, uhm, I do think it has a message in the end 😉
Take care ! Hugs!
hi~ I am so happy to read your experience~and thanks for the photos and YOUR stories~

Hi Katja & Augustas,
we found your low budget guide to cuba very informative.
In the LP- discussion about it we were struck by your description:
“We travel with backpacks. I guess, we are backpacking. I don’t know what does this word mean for you. You are right, we do not walk in the streets with LonelyPlanet book, neither do what it says.
Our main target of the trip are people. To meet them, to talk to them, to stay with them and maybe keep in contact in the future…”,
as it describes our own purpose and way of traveling around the world since 2000, including boat trips “Hand gegen Koje”, just like you did.
Our avarage budget spent so far is around 20US$ a day, including rather high cost places like OZ, NZ, South Pacific and, in the last years, two dozens of Caribbean islands.
We’re glad to have discovered you as soul-mate-travelers and out of this joy decided to leave you a note here.
You also wrote:
“… The information we publish on the website provides hints for travellers (not for holiday tourists)…”
which applies to our websites as well.
Should you be looking for more (German speaking) globetrotting partners in crime to exchange travel experiences with, we’d like to invite you to have a look at the world traveling community in the http://www.weltreiseforum.de .
All the best for your further travels,
bless & guidance, as our rasta friends here would put it –
and may the flow be with you

hallo ihr zwei, every time i come here, i am amazed. thanks.
Hello over there!
So great to keep up with your stories in this way!
Cuba may not be your cup of tea, but it must be fascinating to experience, though i imagine frustrating as well.
Wherever you may end up, enjoy!
Kim
Hey Augustas!!!
Looks like you are having a great adventure…I am jealous! 🙂
Have Fun!
Tracy
Great to find your website in the Servas guestbook of Alfredo & Lilia in Cuernavaca. I have written you a longer note on my own computer, which you will receive when I return home the second week in January, inviting you to put an article on my Global Travel Review webzine.
Hey Katja and Augustas,
Great!! Wish you a beautiful Xmas and a Happy, Happy New Year 2007… You are putting a great example for the rest of us! 🙂

Dear Augustas and Katja,
I am so happy to read about your dreams coming true. Keep your good spirit!
I wish you Merry Christmas and let even more dreams come true in 2007!
Have a nice trip to Cuba. It is also one of my dreams. Its supposed to be one of the healthiest and most ecological country in the world.
Looking forward to read next stories from your road.

Hi guys – the website is great and your photos of Copper Bank bring it all back! I’m sure John will miss having you guys around. Enjoy the rest of your trip, thank you for showing us the wonders of nature during out stay.
All the best,

H Katja!
I first heard about you from Alicia and Javier, from Girona, and then found more about you on HC and this site… GREAT JOB!
I am hitching in Mexico, now in San Cristobal de las Casas, and prolly will enter to Belize by the end of July… Any chance you guys are still there where you are? 🙂 I don’t know if Alicia knows about your trip, but surely should make her visit your page! 🙂
All the best, and hope you are feeling better!

Hi Katja, its Pilar, Jason´s girlfriend, from Spain, I think you remember us…when you worked in Flaherty´s…I go to Costa Rica in May for three months at the beginning, but im thinking of staying longer…if you go to Costa Rica i´ll be waiting for you visiting me…big kisses
That is great to hear! We will try to meet you in Costa Rica, though we cannot promise you to manage it within the next three month. We strongly hope that you will stay longer there!
It has been such a treat to meet you two. We are enjoying getting to know you better. You are both such amazingly talented people. We look forward to the hearing all the storys of the people you touch along you way.
Thanks for including us in linking the world.

I was a guide in Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua for many years. Remember if you come through Belize you will have to pay $18.75 USD by land to exit, Belize can be quite expensive and do not tell Belizean authorites at the border you are hitchhiking…you may be turned away. There are a lot of CS Members in Guatemala (Guatemala city and Antigua) and recommend Pablo Lee in Antigua..be aware in Guatemala, the police are very corrupt and many theives are ex policemen and do not be on the road there after dark, do not tell strangers your itinerary or bring them to your lodging place. Antigua now even is not safe after dark for women walking alone or in pairs, there is too little security. El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua and Costa Rica are more casual and more tropical than Guatemala, in general, people are friendlier, often you can get long rides especially if you display your national flag..many Central Americans have lived in Europe and speak languages other than Spanish and English..by the time you get to Panama you will see how cosmopolitan it can be.
Hi David, thanks a lot for your tips! We will consider them on our road. Would be great to meet you in El Salvador.
where are you now, whats experiences has, we visit chichen itza it´s the best place in yucatan, a nice arqueological site. very ilustrative, mayan´s life, the observatory, marvelous, I will sent pictures, be in touch
Dear Augustas and Katja,

All the best, Sigrid
