Why I am taking the long way.

Not because it is easier. Because more happens along the way.

Hi, I'm Philipp.

I do not want to fly over the world, but to discover it step by step – with a backpack, as little money as possible and no fixed time pressure. Australia is my first big stage, but not the end of the journey.

  • StartFrankfurt
  • Getting aroundOn foot, hitchhiking, bus, train & ferry
  • Travel styleBackpacking – spontaneous, slow & as affordable as possible
  • AccommodationCouchsurfing, hostels & sleeping outdoors
  • First big stageAustralia
MDRUDW stands for ‚Mit dem Rucksack um die Welt‘ – backpacking around the world – and for a journey in which the road itself is the real destination.
Overland · Starts 01 Apr 2027
Not every road is a shortcut.Some are the destination.

MDRUDW is an overland journey – slow, intentional and without flying.Not to arrive as quickly as possible, but to take as much as possible from the road itself.
