CURRENT MISSION

Come a little bit closer, and hear what I have to say. In the beginning there was nothing than a silly dream. Happiness, which turned into a trail. The road is rough and with every dust corn on my shoes I will experience a life beyond fairytales.

ABOUT ME

I love life and my journey through this wonderful world...and a journey always starts with a dream.
I made my dream come true by stepping out the door and now I am here in this world with a 20 kg backpack, no real plan of where to go and a heart filled with love, compassion and curiosity.
My journey brought me already to amazing places where I met very interesting people, ate delicious food, saw mind-blowing art, enjoyed the cultures and appreciated nature. I watched the sun rising and going down, I share laughter, I cried, I danced the night away, and in some places I stood in silence thinking: This is the life. Isn't it amazing?

PHILOSOPHY

I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities. Dr. Seuss
