Hey everyone,
it’s been an exciting few days: my TLW-video has been getting more and more views – and we’re up to 100.000 already!
Feels good after all the work I put in, I can tell you that.
For those of you who might be wondering what the hell I look like now, here’s a picture from a place I love:
…a happy day in February.
I have settled myself in Munich, and my university courses are supposed to start tomorrow. I have to admit that I’m a bit nervous. Guess I’m feeling a bit out of the loop…
Well, gotta do what you gotta do.
I wish you all the best, and may the right choice always be with you!
Cheers from Munich
Chris

Chris,
i dont know what the hell to say.
I'm feeling all mixed up inside, i watched your video 10 minutes ago by luck and i suddenly realised something.
Hey, man, i don't wanna stay in Hellas for the rest of my life! I wanna walk the world! i NEED to!
but i guess some dreams have to be cooked in the over for much much time!
matthias
hallo chris,
habe mir dein video auf youtube schon 4 mal angeschaut. ich finds super genial, hat mir sehr sehr gut gefalle, echt toll.
herzliche grüße
matthias
John Crownover

Ivan
Dearest Christoph… I have to say your video was very inspiring… I looked at it like 10 times allready… (and heard about it yesterday) … Wish there was a way I could comunicate with you, I would really like to hear your story… How u got the idea, how you got the guts… how much money did you spend and on and on… and if you would and have the time and will to write me a mail I would be very grateful.

Christoph, GOOD JOB!!!I believe that was hell of experience, even though you didn't finish your journey like you planed, BUT, you were traveling, you met other culture and people which you would never see if you didn't went on this trip. I admire you, truly!Once again, GOOD JOB!!!
Dijana
Namaste,
the video is great…about 2 months ago i've came back from India (travel 5 weeks)..altough i wish i could travel longer because i only see small part of it..but the main thing i want say is that i agree with you about a questioning myself who i was before and who i am now. Travelling does leave an effect on people, definitely you no longer the same..
alles Gute
who knows…maybe we even meet somewhere in Munich since my brother works there and i visit him a couple times a year..
Salut
paul
i wish i was strong enough to let go and do something like that. great vid.
PoisonedV
Damn, just saw your video on collegehumor. Seriously inspiring, though I fear I'll never do something that awesome
ShamWerks

Christoph,
I just saw your video, and it was absolutely fascinating. I have always wanted to travel, especially on foot. What an amazing journey it must have been. The things you saw and the people you meet will be with you forever!!
Haha, Im glad you decided to get rid of the beard and long hair, you're much more handsome clean-shaven!
I really hope you continue to pursue your dreams. Maybe one day I can have such an amazing adventure 🙂
Love,
Steph
Rob

Hallo Christoph,
Just saw your photos published in fotocommunitz.
Ich bin selber in China geboren und habe dort lang gelebt. Aber solche wunderschöne Photos, die Sie in China gemacht haben, habe ich selten gesehen.
Für mich als einen geborenen Chinesen ist Ihre Sichtweise, übermittelt durch Ihre Photos von China, äusserst interessant und inspirierend. Vielend Dank und alles Gute.
谢谢, 万事如意.
Stefan R.

Hey, da sprüht ja mal wieder Lebensfreude! Hübsches Foto – ich mag diesen Platz auch sehr. Hoffentlich lässt dir das Studium noch Zeit für solche Trips. Wenn dir Paris gefällt solltest du dir Lissabon auch mal anschauen – oder warst du schon dort? Ich erinnere mich – du kannst ein paar Worte portugiesisch…
Até breve.
Peri

best wishes,

Lili
你介绍我们玩“Uno”的啊！那个游戏挺好玩儿的。DU hast noch einmal gewonnen.
Inma
Hola, he visto tu vídeo y me he quedado sorprendida, me parece "genial" lo que has hecho. Yo viví y viajé por China durante varios años y sé que no es nada fácil. Te admiro.
Jaime Machin
I should read all first then send you a comment, but I never followed sequences in a strict order. I just came to the knowledge of your travel and I felt in love of what you did. Something that I always dream about… Being a modern Odysseus, Hercules or many other mythical beings of the pass. Many places, many people, and many thoughts… through time… and still in the same place. Your mind expanded beyond natural boundary and reached the stars… Your body doesn't belong to you anymore, nor your mind… You became a part of everybody, and everybody a part of you… You hold everything you love inside and everybody keep a part of you too. So there you are… back home… and I wonder… can you stop the expansion of the Universe?
God bless you and family.
bau
you are sooooo hot.=)
ashli
fantastic video..and a very inspirational story. Thanks so much for sharing.
Christoph
claudia: Danke!! 🙂
Lili: 什么时候再玩游戏？：）
Inma: Gracias!
Jaime Machin: Wow, expansion of the universe??
bau: Haha, you must be confusing me with someone else!
ashli: Glad you liked it!
Kevin 陳
Your trip was featured in http://www.news.com.au from Australia a couple of weeks ago. And I just finished reading all of your blogs! Thanks for sharing your trip with us. I was fortunate enough to visit China five years ago. After reading your blog I have decided to go back.
Great video! You should publish a photography book with the materials on this site.
Good luck with your studies.
Christoph
Kevin 陳: Thanks man. I wish you lots of fun in China, and make sure to try all the good food everywhere! 🙂
Jaime Machin
Expansion of the Universe…. Your will keep on looking for more answers…. and even you will find answers to questions you never asked. You will find yourself belonging to the World and not only Germany. ‘
Home? A place you can call home? Eventually, if you keep traveling, you will find yourself so comfortable in so many places that you will find you lacking of something, no matter where you are planing to settle down at the end of this fantastic journey. The Expansion of your Universe… even if you had problems with the Queen of Ice, I bet you will find a second place you can call hometown in China!! jejeje Good luck and God bless…. I envy you…. in a very good way!!! No monstrous envy (jeje), just the silly envy of a silly person… 🙂
Christoph
Jaime Machin: Thanks for your comment! Maybe we are destined to happily wander around the world! 🙂
