The point of no return

My resignation letter is on my boss’s desk. That’s done! I’ll be leaving my job end of April to go back to Switzerland and get my travel sorted.

Everything seems so close now… last straight line!

Once upon a time...

A young man from Switzerland lost in the middle of the English countryside:

Name: Pierre-David Andre
Location: Loughborough
Status: In a relationship with the beautiful Giuliana
Employment: Development Engineer at Rolls-Royce Fuel Cell System
Hobbies: LARP, RPJ, Squash and badminton and of course drinking good whisky!


After more than two years in this small town where a third of the population are students I had time to discover most of the subtlety of English life style: lack of sunshine, mini squirt, drunken students, disco music and English ales. This can sounds like a great and enjoyable life but it's quite repetitive with not much new excitements and you should know that a lot of my good friends like Barbara, Luca, Graeme, Fiona, Chris, Matthias, Alex to mention only a few, already left each time with a part of my soul. And of course my dearest Giuliana back in Rome!

I need new challenges, meet new people and see different life style, therefore I'm planning to leave and travel around the word and in particular in Asia.

I set the following rules for my trip:

- Only one flight allowed, for the return
- Travel during at least six months
- Destination Nouvelle Zealand
- One backpack only as luggage

I share with you the first sketch for my trip:


- Train to Moscow with stop in Berlin and Praha
- Than travel with the trans-Mongolian with break at Perm, Irkust, Ulan Bator and finally Beijing
- Once there, Travel along the China Sea direction Thailand
- Who knows...

I keep you updated!
