CURRENT MISSION: writing a book on how traveling can change your life ABOUT ME: In 2002 I did my first backpacking tour through Thailand. I was so amazed by this way of traveling that I sort of got addicted to it. 8 years later I quit my job, sold everything I had and traveled through South America for a year. It was the best year of my life. Got so many exciting things to see and experience. By far the strongest on most profound experiences however were the many people I met and exchanged with. Back in Germany I felt the urge of getting the message out there that traveling enriches your life.... PHILOSOPHY: People will forget what you said. People will forget what you did. But people will never forget how you made them feel.
