A journey of a thousand miles starts with a first step….. so step out an walk.
And should you dare to confront heights and loneliness, fly high…you might find more than you have ever imagined.

This page is born from my need to share the beauty I have seen.
If it will inspire your curiosity, make you dream
or even help you set on the road,
my travels were not worthless.

Find your determination to dream
Curiosity
Curiosty is the driving engine in my life.
My mom says that when I was just a little baby, I refused to lay in a stroller. I kept punching with my wrists on the side walls blocking my view on the world - the world that was there, waiting to be discovered….and I continued until my parents took me up into their arms and I could observe. I can’t remember these particular moments, but I am convinced the feeling stayed… and I continue to punch all obstacles blocking my view.
With the horison in my eyes, I feel the comfort of protective arms, of my parents and of the world itself.

Dream
Dream has no limits.
Dreaming about unknown, dreaming about undiscovered, dreaming about people who lived here before us and who will come after us, dreaming about far away places when spinning the globe passed to me by my father, dreaming about love and desire, dreaming about happiness, dreaming about freedom, dreaming about an achievement, dreaming about a cold drink when you are thirsty, dreaming about hot sand when shivering in your sleeping bag on a winter night.
Dream is there to comfort you, when thick walls block your sight. Dream is there to bring you anywhere. Dream is there to let you through. Anything. Always.

Determination
Determination keeps me focused.
It is easy to get off your track. We all can get lost, we can feel small, down and blue. We all go through our small wars, infinity of the sadness. We all can have lazy moments. It does happen that the goal gets fuzzy in the mist of the routine. There is no determination without a goal ahead of you. There is no goal in your reach without a dream behind.
Focused on the desire not to loose my curiousity, not to loose the phantasy shaping my dreams, not to loose my senses to perceive this world. This world that at the end, overwhelms it all.
