Some days ago I happily made the first step to more hasslefree travelling:

I got the first shot of my SARS-CoV2 vaccination!

The second one will follow on the 1st of June, with enough time before my next trip, to be able to recover from possible vaccination side effects. The first shot was completely free of any complications except for the arm hurting a bit.

Many people that have already seen my story on Instagram right after getting the shot asked me:

Why do you vaccinate?

The reason is quite simple: I want to return to worry-free travelling as soon as possible and getting the vaccination is one step closer to it, because:

• I secure myself with over 94% against the infection with SARS-CoV2.
• If I still get infected I prevent myself from a severe course of the disease.
• With this I prevent myself from getting into a hospital at a foreign counrty and possibly take one of the intensive care spots the people in the travel destination need.
• I actively help to prevent the further spread of the disease and protect myself and the people of the country I travel to.

To reach the highest rate of protection I also decided to try to get an mRNA vaccination and luckily got one of them assigned.

I know a lot of people are anxious of getting the vaccination, because they fear it isn’t tested well enough or it may have bad side effects, but after seeing the side-effects of people I know that suffered from Corona or even died because of it, I definately think that the proven advantages of it outnumber the possible disadvantages (that even don’t happen to a very high percentage) by far.

It is also my way to show my respect for the people in the countries I travel to, the people in the country I live in and also actively help to stop Covid spreading further, so everyone can return to their normal way of travelling and also their normal lives as soon as possible!

This is my way to stick to: #TRAVELLINGWITHRESPECT
