About Me

CURRENT MISSION

dismantel what ties me down, lighten the load

ABOUT ME

I have travelled a lot and love doing it. I travel on absolut budget level, which allows longer trips. I believe in travel minimalism. Spent little, use little , fit in, carry all you need on your back, take opportunities and suggestions arther than follow a schedule to tick off highlights.

I work only as much as necessary, spent lots of time on the road or in the bush. Dance Salsa, hike, bike, write. Ive been politically active on the extreme left, immigrated from germany to New Zealand as a hippy, Ive run my own business for 11 years.

PHILOSOPHY

live more with less money
