After almost 3 years of traveling it is time for me to return home. I haven´t seen family and friends back home for a long time! I am going on a short 2-3 weeks holiday back to my home village in northern Germany. But in order to get back home, I had a long traveling day ahead of me, including 3 flights. Join me on the (emotional) journey back home to Germany.

I am Ken Abroad, a full-time traveler traveling southeast Asia, currently in Malaysia, making Malaysia travel vlogs. It is my goal here on this channel to visit every country in southeast Asia and bring you along the journey.
You won’t see much tourist places in my videos, I rather like to show the “real” sides of each country in my videos. Where do the local people go to eat? Where do they hang out? How do the locals travel through the country? Stuff like that.
There will be almost daily uploads on this channel, during the next months from Southeast Asia. I will be traveling Southeast Asia, showing you around local places and try lots of different local food. Join the journey if you are interested in experiencing Southeast Asia now from a more authentic local point of view.

    The longest trip from S'pore to Copenhagen -- in btwn Dubai & Belgrade. From Denmark to Sweden by car, after 52 hours DELAYED. After 55 minutes took off from Changi airport ( the flight itself was delayed one hour ), all the oxygen masks were dropped due to one of the wing's prob. One night in Dubai, another in Belgrade. That summer I flew with five different airlines😅 another trip from S'pore to Barcelona with Dusseldorf, Amsterdam & Paris in btwn. I was supposed to arrive in Bcn Friday morning, but didn't arrive until midnight

You both missed each other excessively ! Have a nice and wonderful time with your mom and loved ones. Looking forward to watching a couple of videos from your home country. Anything you film/ vlog will definately be fun and interesting.

    My longest flight ever was more than 24 hours inclusive of transit, from KL to Florida, with stopovers in Osaka and Detroit. And another unforgetful flight was the flight coming back from Northen Africa. There was an issue with the engine, and they made us wait nearly an hour in the scorching dessert heat inside plan, before switching plan half a day later. What suppose to be a single stop over flight became a two stop overs and my baggage went around the world before arriving back in KL a month later 😂. Yeah, I can feel your anxiety about not seeing your back at the airport

    Welcome home Ken. Up till 2019 I flew to Munich every year from 2011 for stays of 3 months. Mostly with SingaporeAir. I traveled a lot around Germany but not much in the north accept for around Hannover. My longest trip was Sydney to Durham in North Carolina. That was three flights. Sydney to Los Angeles, LA to Detroit and finally Detroit to Raleigh in North Carolina. I was super tired because of delays in Detroit. Also my bag went missing for the first and only time so far.
