Airpunk

My name is Karl and - like for most people in this place - travelling is an essential part of my life. For budget and geographical reasons, Europe is the main focus of the sites I have visited, but I have been impressed by so many places outside of Europe as well.

The Airpunk name was an old nickname I received in the early 2000s for using unusual travel routes in the early days of low cost flying and sleeping frequently at airports. The nickname itself has been forgotten, but since I have used in in several travel communities, I have sticked with it.

I once set the goal for myself to see at least ten new UNESCO WHS sites each year, but didn't reach the goal every year. As I don't want to treat it like a competition and want to visit the sites properly I handle this pretty flexible. Unsurprisingly, my lowest "score" for years was in the Covid-19 year 2020 with only four new sites (Three German, one French). Hopefully, better and healthier times are just around the corner.
