At the beginning of 2014 we had the wish to take a break from our long term jobs and go on a 6 month world trip. After long planning and preparation the adventure began for us on December 15th 2014 in Iceland and took us across the Caribbean to South America, Central America, Hawaii, Australia & New Zealand, the South Seas, on to Asia and finally to Africa. Our goal was to circumnavigate the world in 6 months and see some of the most interesting and significant places on this planet.

We didn’t find a good and affordable hotel on Bora Bora that easy. Private accommodation and offers (such as via AirBnB) were not so many at that time. In addition, we wanted to treat Bora Bora something nice – and so we booked 5 nights at Sofitel Bora Bora Private Island in an Island Luxury Lodge and were lucky that we were able to move into our bungalow right away.
