Who Am I and Why I Travel Like This
I'm Tilo the Pilgrim a 21 German traveler going around the World.
During Highschool wasted years of my life sitting at a desk, learning, playing Videogames, being socially awkward, and afraid of the world. After finally graduating high school, I knew I had to make a decision: continue down the path of comfort or move out and challenge myself. I chose the latter.
I started with taking a four-month walking pilgrimage from Germany to Spain. During the process, my credit card didn't function, forcing me to reinvent and live with hardly any money at all. Miraculously, I grew to love living simple. It taught me to be resourceful and bonded me to the people that I was sharing the journey with in a way that I had never before.".
When I arrived home, I knew I didn't want this journey to end. I wanted to take an even bigger adventure: traveling once around the entire world without flying, starting with zero cents. My plan is to hitchhike and sail wherever possible, earning money along the way. Along the way, I try to immerse myself as far as possible into the local cultures, learning languages, eating food, and living their way of life.
So far, I’ve lived with the indigenous Warao tribe deep in the Venezuelan jungle, sailed across the Atlantic Ocean without any prior sailing experience, and worked alongside miners in the gold fields of Guyana.
My mission is to connect deeply with people, cultures, and places to listen to their stories, learn from their experiences, and share them with the world.
At least, that is my hope. I have to say, I am not at all perfect, and I have a lot more to learn. But with each step, I become a bit closer to the person I hope to be.
