15 april 2023 At the time of writing, I am already four weeks in the US and I can’t believe it’s already been that long. It feels like yesterday that I arrived in the States but then again, I have been mostly working and we have been making long days to finish in time and before the deadlines are up (we do want happy customers of course!). My last story is from Tacoma (Seattle), that is Washington state for those…
The number of adventures I have had is already countless. The times I have sat in a airplane is even more! Well over 150 times to be precise (yes, I keep track of all my trips and flights in an Excel sheet).

We met at the Eibsee, a beautiful green lake at the foot of the Zugspitze Mountain. At that time we just had a relaxing day…
Except it is not really my first week. I am a frequent traveler and the times I have entered Indonesia cannot even be counted on two hands. It is however my first week with the intention of living here on a semi-permanent base. First order of business is getting a proper visa for a long stay in Indonesia. As it turns out this is taking a lot more paperwork and effort than I had initially thought. As a result, I…
Welcome back friends and family. After three years of silence, StoriesOfNick is back. In these three years, nothing much has changed. I am still traveling all over the world; still visiting new places and learning about different cultures. I have never stopped writing travel stories (in my personal journal) but they always ended up in my personal journal and not on this website… until today. The reason I am bringing this website back to live is because I am about…
