Favorite citation: of Jack Kerouac

"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing but burn, burn, burn like fabulous roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue center light pop and everybody goes 'Awww!'."

It is about backpack-, experience- and low-budget traveling? I'm for 20 years on this trip! I have already seen a lot in this time and have a well-arranged experience now, that's my qualification. Everything what is offered or is discussed on these pages, I know from personal experience. I'm your contact in Germany. Bangladesh and I, this was love at first sight. The principal reason certainly my low expectations and ignorance. But the warmness of the people and beauty of country demanded too much and "arrested" me…

What would be my recommendation? Quite clearly heaven and hell in one, Old-Dhaka! And the loneliness of the coasts of Kuakata, and of courses first of all the Sundarbans, the Sundarbans and once more the Sundarbans…

Favorite citation: of Rabindranath Tagore

"Poverty brings us into complete touch with life and the world, for living richly is living mostly by proxy, and thus living in a world of lesser reality."

Traveling is my passion. In meantime I have made the most important hobby for me to my occupation. 5 years I have studied in Malaysia and Dubai in the tourism trade, have worked and accumulated experiences in it to realize my dream of own agency for individual tourism..

What would be my recommendation? I love the sea and the silence, the beach of Kuakata in the sunrise and sundown, that's the most beautiful thing that I've ever seen. There's nothing better than by the motorcycle go in the sunrise, unmatched…

Favorite citation: of Gaius Iuliu's Caesar

"Veni, vidi, vici - I came, I saw, I conquered."

Travelling is my occupation, my occupation is my appeal… I love it, have joy in traveling and even more to allow it to others or help, besides. For 20 years I'm in this occupation and can fall back on an experience all of first class. I know Holger for 8 years and have taught him the "first steps" in Bangladesh or have helped him in these. With "The Lonesome Traveler" we realize our idea of the individual tourism in Bangladesh. I wait for you in our office, discuss you with pleasure, organize and will also be on the road with you…

What would be my recommendation? Two places make Bangladesh unique; the world the biggest river delta, the Sundarbans and the mountains and woods of the Chittagong Hill Tracts. You must have seen both!


Md. Younus Farazi

Vice and Transport Manager
Occupation: Travel agent and driver
Place of residence: Dhaka / Bangladesh
Hobbies: Driving, friends, journeys and own 7-headed family

Favorite citation: of Kazi Nazrul Islam

"Come Brother Hindu! Come Musalman! Come Buddhist! Come Christian! Let us transcend all barriers, let us forsake forever all smallness, all lies, all selfishness and let us call brothers as brothers. We shall quarrel no more."

I have driven already a lot through Asia first it was my hobby, later I have made my hobby the occupation. Many national and international renowned personalities from business, politics and sport were already my guests. I'm glad to drive with you. I am sure about this; there is definitely no country in Asia like Bangladesh! Best of all my native country is described by our national anthem:

"Amar shonar Bangla, Ami tomae bhalobashi. Chirodin tomar akash, tomar batash, amar prane bajae bãshi…" translated: "My golden Bengal, my golden Bengal, I love you. Always your skies and your air bring my heart to sound as it is a flute…"

What would be my recommendation? I think you should absolutely visit the CHT (Chittagong Hill Tracts). For me Bangladesh is nowhere else beautiful and diverse like the area around Rangamati or Bandarban.


Morium Begum

The kind soul of "The Lonesome Traveler"
Occupation: Housewife / mother
Place of residence: Dhaka / Bangladesh
Hobbies: Own family, cackle with her friends, cooking

Favorite citation: from movie "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai"

"A mother adores us. Her love beyond words. A mother fortifies to us, with all what we act and she stands always on our side. She believes in us. A mother laughs with us and she dries our tears. A mother is irreplaceable for us everybody."

Up to now I have been for journey only in Bangladesh, to visit my family. But this time I enjoy. Of normal manner I have no time to travel and it's also not usual activity for women like me. If it my family well I'm happy and to reach this I deal all hands full. Four sons and two daughters give a lot of joy and demand a lot of strength. I appear only in few cases, you accept my invitation for food, or, however, you are ill. First: I hope very much and by now am glad about it, latter would not be nice, but if it is the case, trusts me!

My What would be my recommendation? My house, kitchen, family, comes visit us ore other families! Some says my Chicken curry is the best of the world!? Try and Check it! My travel proposal for you is the surroundings of Faridpur, bamboo woods provide cooling shade, here you can be relaxing in a green oasis, go swimming in the Padma River and in the house of my sister the food is also excellently. We expect you!


Md. Mamun Farazi

Occupation: Electronics technician
Place of residence: Dhaka / Bangladesh curently Dresden / Germany
Hobbies: Cricket, friends, my laptop, Bollywood, the German language

Favorite citation: of Rabindranath Tagore

"The stream of truth flows by canals of mistakes."

Up to now I have traveled a lot through India and in Europe to familiarizing myself with the European life-style. I have many friends, all over in Germany now and have become together with Dresden Cricket Club vice champion of Germany. Very often I am sad that my wonderful native country here in Germany, if generally, agrees only negative headlines. I would like to help to change this, comes to us! Visits, this green carpet of my Motherland and I'm sure, you will spend the nicest time of the year here. I am glad about it and my country expects you…

What would be my recommendation? Off the top of my head, Sundarbans! The world of animals and plants are unique in the world, the silence, the river arms in the early morning fog and the noises of the jungle let forget you all other. My second recommendation, the tea gardens around Sylhet and Srimangal in the north.
