Once the worlds borders opened up again, I started to make new travel plans. It still felt too soon to continue my walk in Africa, so I bought myself a car to drive around Europe for a while.

In Toronto, I couldn't sell my car in time to make my flight back home. Instead, I visited some friends in Mexico City to celebrate New Years. Without any particular plan, one thing led to another and I ended up driving along the Pan-American Highway to the very south end of the American continent, …and back up again to Rio De Janeiro.

With 34 years of age, I took my last chance to get a work and travel visa in Canada. I spent three months living in a tent in the forests of British Columbia and Alberta, planting trees for a living. Then two of my German friends visited for a road trip through the USA and its beautiful national parks.
