About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Figuring out how to get to Kilimanjaro...

I have done quite some travels before -about a bit more than 60 countries so far, adding more than seven years abroad. Since December 2013 until December 2015 I did my longest travel so far:D

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Camping with touaregs tribes in the Saara desert when I was 23, being the only foreigner. By that time I also crossed the coast of Tunisia by bike.
At 30 I went to Everest Base Camp hiking across the Himalayas, alone, without a guide or a porter, only with a map.
I swan in the Ganges and, according to Hindu mythology, became purified and forgiven to all sins I may do in life.
Hitchhiking in Mongolia, Siberia...
Becoming a party animator and tour guide to a cliff jumping attraction in Thailand...
And many more.
