Hi my name is Felix, I’m a 27 years young programmer from Luxembourg a small country at the heart of Europe. Welcome to the Bitcoin Traveler’s Blog. I discovered the digital currency Bitcoin in 2012 and it took me quite a while to understand this new kind of money but eventually it has changed my life…

It’s January 12, 2015. The train leaves Berlin central station on time at 06:46 CET. It’s quite cold and I’m pretty tired since I didn’t sleep last night. Mainly because I’m super excited about the fact that I’m about to start my biggest adventure yet: a round-the-world trip for 365 days. And this is a challenging with a twist: traveling only on Bitcoin.

More about me and my motivation, the world trip, the challenge and Bitcoin itself will follow in one of my next posts.

The challenge basically boils down to 3 simple rules:

Use Bitcoin whenever possible to pay for food, accommodation and travel.

Never use a debit/ credit card or ATM.

credit card or ATM. Limited usage of cash in form of local currency is allowed, but can only be obtained by trading Bitcoin with local people.

I plan to blog about the trip in general, do interviews with other Bitcoiners and share my personal experiences and thoughts on the world’s first decentralized, P2P, digital crypto-currency ever. If you’re interested on what it’s like and/or possible to tour the world using Bitcoin in 2015 you can follow me on this blog as well as my twitter feed, instagram and youtube channel.
