The best vacation ever
Unforgettable travel experiences that have changed our lives for the better.
»If an idea doesn’t sound absurd at the beginning, it’s no good.« (Albert Einstein)
The team
Who are we, how do we travel?
Our life in harmony with nature.
We love being on the road, whether on foot, by bike, in an off-roader or in a kayak. Telling stories about life. Simply enjoying the little things.
Years of experience
Out and about in the world
As a globetrotter, adventurer or traveler.
Traveling brings change and a different perspective on things.
In our oversaturated, frenzied, noisy, carefree life on constant reception, I need a reboot at certain intervals, i.e. a ‚reset‘ and restart of the brain. If you like: a reorganisation of the values and norms that are otherwise imposed on us as a given. The mendacious promises and lulling achievements of our social Darwinist feel-good community in the land of milk and honey are simply too good to stay awake and mentally active in the long term… – which is why a return to nature and minimalism (Simple living) is a good idea.
It is important to understand that adventure comes from a different perception and ‚being aware‘ for everyone. One person is afraid of wild bucks in the city park, while another needs a shark dive with a bloody steak in the front of their swimming trunks.
But one thing is certain: adventure lurks everywhere!
For your information
The journeys and expeditions listed below are time-outs that I have often experienced together with my life partner. Some projects lasted for weeks, others for several months or even years.
Sea kayaking adventures, trekking tours in the outback or in the deserts of Namibia. On foot (Wanderlust) with rucksack and tent through different countries and their unique cultures. Cycling across Europe or hiking through the Alps as well as the most beautiful off-road treks are behind our journeys and their reports.
Countries such as Africa, North America, Europe, Japan, Asia, Australia, Russia, etc. were destinations of our desire to travel, which we travelled to under scientific, survival or outdoor aspects.
Each country has its very own story, which we captured in words, pictures and films.

Against the mainstream
In search of lost places in the European backcountry.
Start: April 2024, End probably 03/28/20251
We are planning a ‚Hinterland Trilogy‚ in Western, Southern and Central Europe (e.g. France-Spain-Portugal) to ‚lost‘ and ‚forgotten‘ places: close to nature, minimalist, sustainable, considerate and with respect for nature – but not at Neanderthal level.
No one can turn back the clock!
