Eight months ago, influencer Marinus Obermair set out to explore the world. Without a cent. A conversation about begging in developing countries and the fight for clicks.
A young man, blond surfer’s quiff, a carton of coconut water in his hand, a pearl necklace around his neck, jungle-covered hostel on Ko Tao in ThailandOne could now tick off one cliché after another about the classic backpacking self-discovery trip to Southeast Asia, but that would be unfair.
Marinus Obermair, 21, only comes to the hostel for the WiFi – he sleeps on the beach. He didn’t travel by plane from Europe to Thailand either – he hitchhiked through 23 not always completely uncritical countries without any start-up capital. He has already been on the road for eight months and plans to travel many more. Obermair wants to travel around the world.
