coffee time on board
Hey there, Thank you so much for sticking with me. These past few weeks have really pushed me to the edge of my comfort zone, and Iāll be sharing more about that in upcoming posts. Iām finally finding the time to sit down at my computer and get back to writing. For now, I just want to send a huge thank you for your support. Your encouragement has been a big help in keeping me… Read More »coffee time on board
Bandol
Summer might be over in Bandol, but Iāve finally made it here, and itās just as beautiful as ever. I havenāt had the chance to upload a video yet, but Iām planning to do that next week. Itās been an intense stretchā3,300 kilometers on the road so far, with another 2,500 still ahead as Iāll need to swap cars again. The exciting part? Iām planning to splash the boat next week, so stay tuned for… Read More »Bandol
patreon update – september 25th 2018
While my boat patiently waits up in the North/East, I recently spent a week in Corsica, exploring whether it could be the perfect place to spend next summer. Spoiler alert: it absolutely is. Corsica is even more beautiful than I imagined, and contrary to my online research, I discovered plenty of wind-protected bays with excellent anchorage grounds. Now, the challenge is getting my boat there. Iām still unsure if it will sail without some modifications,… Read More »patreon update – september 25th 2018
no sailing, yet
Hey friends, I recently arrived at my little wooden boat, and to be honest, I wasnāt quite sure what to do next. It took me some time to figure things out, and I wanted to settle on a plan before sharing the news with all of you. This summer has been brutally hot and dry, which isnāt great for a wooden boat, as you might imagine. The wood had started drying out and I knew… Read More »no sailing, yet
what is simplicity about
About a year and a half ago, I found myself at a crossroads, questioning my life and my purpose. In search of clarity, I began thinking deeply about what I truly wanted to do. That’s when the idea for my adventure came to me: walking across the Sahara. Thereās something uniquely special about traveling on footāyouāre forced to carry everything you need, and that naturally imposes limits. It compelled me to focus on what was… Read More »what is simplicity about
thankful for the moment
My Journey Through the Sahara: Lessons From “Sahara Experience III” Iāve just spent an unforgettable week in the Sahara with the members of āSahara Experience III.ā My intention was simple: to show others how different life can be. Sometimes, even I forget that everything I do, I do by choice. In nearly every situation, I have the option to do something differentāor to not do it at all. I just need to live with the… Read More »thankful for the moment
perspective matters
When Things Go Wrong: A Lesson in Perspective Sometimes, life throws unexpected challenges our way. Itās the wrong time, or maybe itās just a bad situation altogether. Often, when things go wrong, we react with frustration or anger. At least, I know that happens to me. In those moments, I find myself asking: Why now? Why me? Why again? Why so bad? I hate being angry, and whatās worse is when I get angry at myself for being… Read More »perspective matters
don’t judge
The Wisdom of Alexander von Humboldt: Challenging Worldviews Through Travel āThe most dangerous worldview is that of people who have not seen the world themselves.āā Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859) Today, I begin with this nearly 200-year-old quote, one I couldnāt have put better myself. It serves as a powerful reminder of moments in my own life that made me question how I see the worldāand how others see it too. Iāve experienced situations where people,… Read More »don’t judge
worlds end ā in ibo
Discovering the True Meaning of Following Your Heart: The Story of Jƶrg Just the other week, I met Jƶrg, a man who answered the question many of us ask ourselves: What does it mean to do something for the first time? Over 10 years ago, Jƶrg left his well-paying job in Germany, got on his bike, and embarked on an incredible journey south. We crossed paths on a remote island in Southeast Africa, in a forgotten Portuguese… Read More »worlds end ā in ibo
lessons from stonetown
In late 2013, I had a growing urge to change something in my life. I was tired of showing up to the same office every day, feeling like I was just going through the motions. It seemed like nothing would ever change if I kept living on autopilot. My work had become about earning a paycheck, not about passion. Iāve always been searching for deeper meaning in what I do. I want to create something… Read More »lessons from stonetown
right or wrong
After my last post, I received an email from a former subscriber to my newsletter. He expressed his regret but felt that I was fundamentally wrong in my approach to simplicity. According to him, the key to life is focusing on āthe one true essential.ā He suggested that instead of pursuing simplicity, I should be asking, āWhat matters most in life?ā It made me pause and reflect. Is there really only one way to live life correctly,… Read More »right or wrong
