Round-the-world trip, several years

Do you dream of getting to know the world? All countries, exotic landscapes, cultures, wildlife, festivals, religions? Here is your chance, regardless of your finances. What counts is your desire to fulfill your dreams and the commonality of our dreams, interests, and affinities. My name is Carsten, I am 58 years young and looking for a suitable female companion. You should be younger or have kept yourself very well to keep up. I have traveled about 100 countries by bicycle, public transport, and car. So, the approximately 100 countries I don't know yet are on the agenda first… Current destinations: first North America: USA, Canada, Central America: Mexico and all the others, Africa, Asia: Mongolia, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Japan, Russia, Korea, China, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand and many more; Europe: Happy to do it again, Australia, South America also happy to do it again: Brazil, Bolivia, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru and all the others. Antilles. Antarctica perhaps too, it's just a bit difficult with a car or public transport ;-) In short: The whole world. The sooner you get in touch, the more say you'll have in planning. The start is in about a year – I'm a bit flexible about that and of course, there's still a lot to prepare. Preferred mode of transport initially is my own car / van. Accommodation partly in nature in the vehicle, perhaps also a tent, partly in fixed accommodations (mid-range hotels/hostels/private accommodations/…). Perhaps also for a certain period in a monthly rented apartment. Depending on expediency, we will also travel by public transport (e.g., island nations). Along the way, of course, hiking, diving, and whatever else is nice and opens up access to new worlds. Known and unknown places. The journey is open-ended, perhaps lifelong. From time to time, a return to Germany for about 1 month, especially to maintain contact with my parents. My financial situation is stable. I am not rich, but I am no longer dependent on regular work. OK, for some, this – like health, athleticism, and resilience significantly above the average age – might also be a form of wealth. Your contribution to travel costs depends on your financial circumstances and is fairly somewhere between 0-50%. Keyword "(not) regular work": I document my travels and thus expand my financial scope – but I am no longer dependent on it. A "compatibility check" is absolutely desirable, meaning we should have a trial trip for a few weeks before the world trip. If I have sparked your interest: Write a little about yourself and your interests and look forward to my reply (just as I am currently looking forward to your reply).
