About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoying Alaska

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Berlin. After studying business administration I worked for almost 3 years like a workaholic in a officejob. In 2006 I gave myself a break as I thought that there has to be more in life. I quit my job and my apartment, took my backpack and made my dream come true and started to travel. During this time I traveled for 12 month, lived for one year in Sweden working as a doghandler/dogsledding tourguide on a huskykennel and crossed Canada from the East to the West Coast. Right now I drive dogs in Alaska. Afterwards I gonna try to settle down again in my hometown Berlin. Just love this city.

I'm easy going, bit of a thinker and a dreamer, open-minded, prefer sweater-weather, love dogs...and to drive them :-)

PHILOSOPHY

Follow your dreams. They know the way.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It was a very cold evening in december. I was out with a dogteam driving through this beautiful winter landscape of swedish lapland, 145km north of the Artic Circle. There was no one else around, just the dogs and me. It was a fantastic starlit night. After a while the sky was iluminated by the Aurora Borealis. An incredible light show. I forgot everything around me. I even didn't feel the coldness anymore.
