Hi there! Me, that's a physicist and computer scientist who works in strategy consulting. Right now I'm a Principal at the consulting firm Roland Berger.
Besides traveling, I am fascinated by a lot of things, including climbing, hiking, tech, handicraft and of course spending quality time with my family and friends.
2500 kilometers. 4 guys. 1 boat.
From Regensburg to the Black Sea. 4 weeks, that is the duration of our adventure on our self-made boat on the Danube. Our travel blog shows the preparations we undertook and served as a logbook during our travel. What could possibly go wrong?
Close800 kilometers. 6 guys. 1 bike. No gears.
After not drowning the previous year, we are up for an even more illusory project. This time crossing the Alps. Our vehicle: a 6-person tandem surrey bike, the modern equivalent to an elephant as Hannibal brought it over the Alps once.
Close2 guys. 1 caravan. No car. Direction: East.
After the adventures in 2016 in 2017, what could two (mentally totally healthy) guys do next? The list of ideas is long, ranging from walking the Amazon river in a Zorb ball to driving along the the Chinese wall in a baby stroller. It finally boils down to a caravan. But with a car, that would be way to easy.
CloseCold. Colder. Coldest.
Pleasant at best when sunny and calm. Brutal when stormy and dark. In harsh conditions, you must be harsher. Keep moving. Cover every patch of skin. Seek shelter and let the Aurora be your reward at night.
Close1,000 km horizontally. 60 km vertically up. 60 km vertically down.
How do you spend your summer holidays? For me, it's on a mountain hike. Camping gear on my back. Gasoline stove in the pack. Food for three days. Water from crystal-clear streams. And nothing but wild nature all around.
Close10 days by boat. 10 days jungle trekking. Nature unchained.
An adventure to experience the wildnerness of the rain forest on Kalimantan. Physically challenging in an unfamiliar environment. Plagued by leeches. Probed by the remoteness of the jungle.
CloseShort days. Cold nights. Frozen lakes.
It's remote but pleasant in summer. It's unforgiving and cold in winter. It's vast and beautiful, sun by day, aurora by night. The Arctic Circle Trail stretches from the Greenlandic ice shield to the coast, mostly over fjord-like lakes frozen deep in winter. Infrastructure is sparse and camping a necessity.
CloseMachete. Fire steel. Fishing gear. Kettle. 6 days to go.
What's the first thing you do when you get dropped on a remote tropical island? How long can you actually live off just coconut water? And what happens to your body when there’s hardly any food at all? We definitely found out, with spirits high the whole way. Came back wiser too, realizing that happiness really doesn't take much.
