Today I walked into the desert of Tunisia in search of a portal that would lead me to Tatooine aka Mos Espa, a planet in a galaxy far far away where I'd meet a man called Anakin who'd tell me all about Star Wars...

Quite the guy...

On my journey to #Tatooine I bumped into this guy. 😎 He was dressed a bit weird but told me he was on his way to his home planet: Tatooine. Seriously! What. Are. The. Chances. He introduced himself as Anakin and offered to guide me to his home town. Awesomeness! #TunisiaChallenge #DestinationChallenges with @discover_tunisia #DiscoverTunisia

The landscape became more and more deserted and beautiful at the same time. Anakin told me that on that hill we'd pass the portal to #Tatooine. WoopWoop. Inter-dimensional travel coming right up! 👌✌👍👊😎 #TunisiaChallenge #DestinationChallenges with @Discover_Tunisia #DiscoverTunisia

Anakin is a bit of a funny guy... Here he lifted me using something he refers to as 'The Force'. A bit scary at first but quite the experience... 😉 #TunisiaChallenge #DestinationChallenges with @discover_tunisia #DiscoverTunisia

Tadaaaa... #Tatooine 😉 We finally made it. I could tell Anakin was seriously moved. He told me it's been ages since he came back here. So happy I could share this special moment with him! 😊 #TunisiaChallenge #DestinationChallenges with @discover_tunisia #DiscoverTunisia

We took a selfie to capture this special moment. If you look well I think you can spot tears in his eyes. Awww... I think this is the beginning of a nice #Bromance. #TunisiaChallenge #DestinationChallenges with @discover_tunisia #DiscoverTunisia

Anakin showed me around the town he grew up in on #Tatooine. It's really always best to see a place through the eyes of a local. #BeSocial 😉 #TunisiaChallenge #DestinationChallenges with @discover_tunisia #DiscoverTunisia

At some point I found this thing left behind in the sand by somebody. Anybody knows what it is and who it could belong to? #lostandfound #Tatooine #TunisiaChallenge #DestinationChallenges with @discover_tunisia #DiscoverTunisia

Anakin explained me that he learned about 'The Force' right here and that it changed his life forever... He invited me to the local bar to tell me everything over a beer. 🍻 #Tatooine #TunisiaChallenge #DestinationChallenges with @discover_tunisia #DiscoverTunisia

We sat down over a beer and Anakin told me the most incredible stories about #starwars and adventures with princesses in a galaxy far far away. I couldn't believe my ears! 😮 This guy sure lived a full life... #Tatooine #TunisiaChallenge #DestinationChallenges with @discover_tunisia #DiscoverTunisia

Happy to have visited this part of the universe and to have met Anakin but it was time for me to move on and go on some more adventures myself! 😉 Until we meet again Anakin. It's been a pleasure! May the force be with you. Always and forever... #Tatooine #TunisiaChallenge #DestinationChallenges with @discover_tunisia #DiscoverTunisia
