  • Berlinale after show party

    23 lutego 2020, Niemcy ⋅ 🌧 4 °C

    Mein Kumpel, Benny Eicher, Filmproduzent, der für seinen Film "der Weisse Massai Krieger" bei der Berlinale, in der Rubrik "cinemaforpeace" nominiert war, hat mich zu einer aftershow Party in einen Berliner Club mit unausprechlichem Namen eingeladen.
    Ich glaube, den ganzen celebrities war es am Anfang etwas langweilig. So hab ich die etwas unterhalten und die fanden es auch ganz lustig, mal wieder was zu malen. Viele sagten mir, dass die das letzte mal im Kindergarten was gemalt haben

  • Friday for Future in my hometown

    15 września 2019, Niemcy ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

    Today I was at a demonstration for "Friday for Future" in my small hometown. I think it was organized by the church and not by some pupils from school.
    So grabbed my "dream equipment" and went there. After all the speeches the people opened the buffet (coffee and cakes) for networking, socializing and let the people mingle and talk to each other. I met some "homies", who I did not see for ages.
    There was one girl, who even installed a "brainstorming wall", where people could stick post its with ideas, how to improve the village. That reminded me to my job as a creativity coach.
    I asked the people about their dreams and let them draw them in the hexagons.
    Even the priest of my hometown was drawing his dreams.

  • Barcelona, Sagrada Familia and Beach

    14 września 2019, Hiszpania ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C

    After the driving the day before so many kilometers, I was looking forward to get some ☀.
    The Sagrada Familia is always impressive and something really special. I heard about the long waiting lines and that you better have to book an online ticket. Even they were booked out for that day. I took is as a hint as I anyway wanted to be outside in the sun.
    I asked people if they wanted to draw their dream. But all people were so stressed in getting a ticket, that nobody was in the mood of resting a minute. That really reminded me to Monaco where Noone wanted to draw something.
    I had been living in Barcelona a few years ago, working as a car designer. That's why I did not have the "pressure" of doing sightseeing as I know the city quite well.
    So I could go really relaxed (by bike) to barcelonetta to the city Beach, what I really enjoyed.

  • Towards Valencia, Hurracane

    13 września 2019, Hiszpania ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

    I had to drive a lot of kilometers. From Gibraltar in the evening to Barcelona in 2 days. That's why I had the lovely breakfast while driving, haha. Look at the Foto.
    Some highways were closed because of something. I got annoyed by that because the Navi ran crazy and always wanted to send me back. When I was online, I read at Google maps : closed because of flood.
    Later I heard, that because of the hurracane and the flooding some people even died.
    So, my console to their families. I was not aware of that. Friends of mine sent me Fotos of the flooding taken from German television/news. They asked me if I am still alive, because I was exactly at that time in exactly this region. Probably I was lucky for driving at a good time. Only while I was camping I heard the wind and rain, but I was did not feel it as do severe.

  • Gibraltar

    12 września 2019, Gibraltar ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

    I was cincidering to do a 3 day kitesurfing course, but - what is really really rare in Tarifa-there was not much wind. So I went first to the most southern point of Europe (I guess) and then continued to Gibraltar. As I was not keen on customs and letting my car checked, I preferred taking my bicycle. Czytaj więcej

  • Kayaking in Lagos and nightlife in Albua

    9 września 2019, Portugalia ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

    .... Later more text..
    It is amazing what is possible to do in only one day. So many impressions.
    Get up early, look for a kayak tour, having breakfast, run to the marina habour to search the kayak company and then: doing one of the most amazing kayak trips I have ever done!
    I I already did tours in Polynesia, New Zealand, Hawaii, France, Sweden.
    This one tops probably all of them!
    After that I went by car one hour to the east, Albufeira, famous for its nightlife.
    And the prediction was right.
    Even drunk people, or better: especially drunk people have dreams, that com straight from.....unconsciousness!
    One wants to be a fit bitch, the other cocktail and party, the other 8 kids (one brought into the relationship already plus 4 own ones).
    Anyway, it was a funny evening and the party crowd loved that welcomed entertainment!

  • Day of hitchhikers and south west point

    9 września 2019, Portugalia ⋅ 🌙 21 °C

    Today was the day of hitchhikers.
    First I was giving a lift to a father with his daughter.
    150km from somewhere in the middle of nowhere to Sagres. Pablo and Carolina. The best thing: somewhere in between, Pablo asked me if I would like to have a coffee and a sweet, a specialty here. I could not resist.
    I drove him to his house somewhere on the road, where he dropped his clothes because he had to continue to another place.
    Then I went to Sagres and the most southern western point of Europe. This is special to me because I went here with one of my best friends when I was 17 by hitchhiking all the way down from Germany.
    I had to drink a Sagres beer as this was cult and a running gag for us.
    On my way to Lagos I picked up a girl, who seemed to have a long way walking in the sun.
    It turned out that we were both interested in art, paintings and creativity.
    I spend the day at one of the beautiful beaches at Lagos. In town there were 3 hitchhikers from Austria and France. I had no real plan so I drove them where they wanted to go. Just 5km. I know, that by foot it takes an hour and by car just some minutes. So I drove them to the lighthouse. That was a good idea, because I was rewarded with a nice sunset and a special scenery in the very special cliff area.

  • Nice surprise after sudden wake up

    6 września 2019, Portugalia ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

    I actually had two mornings. Or two wake ups:
    First was at 5.30h in the morning after just 3hours of sleep. Actually I told myself, that I wanted to take care more about myself and look that I get enough sleep. As sleep is the best medicine. I think, that the one night in Santiago with a good 7hours of sleep was the reason, why my hurting tooth got well again just in one day.
    Nevertheless I offered a very special person to be the private chauffeur from the airport-hostel to the airport. It was just 1km, but a very dark und dodgy area for a woman to walk alone at night.
    So I really got woken up by her at 5.30h and I played the private taxi driver. It was early, but it was a pleasure for me to do her this favor.
    I came back from the airport and parked my van somewhere in nowhere close to the airport.
    Luckily I could manage to fall asleep again,... Just got woken up a couple of times by some aggressive dogs, who were barking whenever someone passed by.
    So my second wakeup was, when someone was knocking at my van at about 9 o clock. I climbed down from the first floor of my mobile castle to the ground floor to see who is knocking.
    I immediately told them: "sorry!" because I was blocking their gate. At night I was not aware that it was a gate, because it looked like a normal wall.
    My feeling of "feeling guilty" and "the people must be angry with me" vanished after seconds when the guy told me, that a Volkswagen bus like mine is his dream. He told me that he has the older version, VW T3 from 1983, and we were chatting in half Spanish, half Portuguese about the VW Bullies.
    He asked me if I would like to come in for a coffee, what I really appreciated.
    I had blocked the gate of a workshop, where they modify cars to be able to transport disabled people and wheelchairs.
    I got in, we were talking, and finally they were even drawing their dreams in my hexagons.
    We had a funny time!
    They told me, that they will be in Germany next week at a exhibition for their show cars and after I told them, that I was working as a car designer for some years and did the Papamobile for pope Benedikt, we exchanged our contact data. I will update that later.
    That was a really nice company and really friendly, warm-hearted people!

  • Day 5, horrible night

    1 września 2019, Hiszpania ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

    The night was horrible.
    My tooth was aching and I could not sleep. I can not imagine the last years when I felt so much pain. It felt like someone is nailing a nail in your jaw, but not for seconds. For hours. And the head feels like exploding. I slept maybe 2 hours.
    Anyway. We stood up at 6.30h and began walking the most strenuous part of the whole trail. 3hours uphill to a monastery.
    The way down at the trail called "stones and water" (Piedras y Aguas) was the most pleasant we had.
    At a small restaurant we had good and cheap food.
    Finally we arrived at one of these official, public albergues, where are about 40 people in one room.
    Today : 33km

  • Day 4 at the Camino

    31 sierpnia 2019, Hiszpania ⋅ 🌙 21 °C

    Same procedure as every day. Alarm clock at 6.30h, but I woke up at 5.15h as at that time the first pilgrims get up. We are now already in the 100km radius of Santiago and there are more pilgrims. You even find more improvised "shop", selling coffee, fruits and souvenirs out of their car.
    We decided to go the "camino espiritual", which takes 1 or 2 days longer than the normal route, but is less crowded. After the forth day, you already feel the 120km in your bones and feet and it is almost the general topic of the pilgrims who has which injuries or "damages".
    We stay at a small, pittoresque fishing village.
    Interesting route: the yellow arrows of the Camino wanted to guide us through the water. Later we found out, that at the right time the water has gone because of the tide.
    The "youth" is buying drinks at the supermarket to get prepared for Saturday evening.

  • My birthday in a monastery

    29 sierpnia 2019, Hiszpania ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

    So, today is my second day at the Camino de Santiago. It is actually my birthday and it is strange, because - I think - since I am 15 I always have celebrated or at least experienced my birthday at midnight the day before.
    Not here at the Camino. We went to bed yesterday at 23.30h.
    The Camino today was very pleasant. Again nice scenery along the coast. A good lunchbreak with good food at a restaurant, where we were served local Spanish food with squids and paella.
    Then we passed by a beach and we looked really like from a different world with our pilgrim backpacks among all the surfers and half naked people at the beach. I called a monastery to reserve a place to sleep, but the guy at the phone told me not to arrive after 19.00, otherwise they would be closed. So after a quick swim in the breaking waves and ripcurls, we just bought a bottle of Portwine and almost had to run steep uphill to arrive in time. On the top of the hill, we got rewarded at the church/monastery with a perfect view of the coastline and beaches.
    When Jorge, the guy who let us fill in the registration form, has seen my date of birth he had to smile. Later he gave us fresh grapes and fruits, what was really good. A bit later a girl from Poland arrived and she wondered how be were carrying the heavy bottle of wine uphill. We invited her for a glass and I explained that it is my birthday. Now - big surprise: it was her birthday too!
    We shared some food and wine and were chatting about life and the Camino. She also has drawn her dream on paper and I gave her some sketching advices.
    Good night! In 6 hours we have to wake up to be ready for the next 30 kilometer.

  • Arrival at the "Camino de Santiago"

    27 sierpnia 2019, Portugalia ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

    I decided spontaneously (yesterday) to walk the Camino de Santiago for about 180km. I know, that some people plan a trip like that for up to a year, but I thought: "Why not doing it just now. I am already so close!" So I asked my friend, who was already walking the Camino since 3 days to tell me where he is so I will catch him up by car and join the walk. Czytaj więcej

  • Porto, conference for agile workshops

    21 sierpnia 2019, Portugalia ⋅ 🌙 19 °C

    Hi,
    Actually this was my main goal or motivation to reach Porto as a destination. I am here for 3 days at a conference or open space format, where about 200 workshop facilitators meet. That means: we are all in the job of helping companies to do innovation or do a change management or change a Mindset of companies to think more creative, to think more our of the box, to behave more flexible and actually change the philosophy of companies.
    We are the pioneers of thinking in a different way. We are here to invent new creative workshop formats, to exchange experience to question existing ways of working and organization. I feel like in the epicenter of change and we habe the power and motivation to really have a positive impact for the world and for the future.
    I have facilitated 3 sessions about creativity, innovation Sprint and about drawing your dreams.
    People liked it, when I gave them instructions and sketching advices what they could apply immediately and they were happy that they improved their sketching skills within minutes. They were surprised by themselves what they were able to sketch in short time.

  • Santiago di Compostela

    20 sierpnia 2019, Hiszpania ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

    Stunning view from my camper van of the lighthouse at finisterre.
    Then visited the cathedral di Santiago di Compostela. All a bit touristic but I like when all the pilgrims come together and are happy to have done the Camino. I was at a "Misa", which was in another church, because the famous one is under cobstruction. I met 2 German girls, who - after the misa- were drawing their dreams.
    On the main square, where are most of the pilgrims it wa easy to ask for people to draw something.
    When the group started drawing, the kids appeared and asked if they can also draw sth.

  • Dreams of pilgrims and surfers

    19 sierpnia 2019, Hiszpania ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

    Today was actually my first kind of "free" day since weeks. The last days I had to hurry up, because I have to be on Tuesday, 20.8. in our airbnb villa, because on Wednesday starts a conference (for workshop facilitators like me, where we want to invent new games and ideas to make workshops more creative).
    Now, that I know, that I will reach Porto in time, I could relax a bit. Anyway I had to finish an illustration for a German customer. And I could not imagine a better place to "work"! I mean, sitting in my mobile workplace with the view of the sea and sun, watching the surfers at the rip curls from time to time. Can it be better?
    For the draw-your-dream-mission it was also very good. Early in the morning I met 2 German pilgrim ladies, on their "Camino de Santiago" who liked to draw their dreams.
    During the day, although or maybe because of it was my free day and all surfers here at the mobile home parking are so relaxed, and I was relaxed as well, THEY asked me, if they were "allowed" to draw somethung.
    I Iiked it a lot, because it were so completely different people and all had completely different dreams. Have a look!

    After 2 tough days in the bus, each 500-700km, plus sightseeing, plus working on a drawing til 2o clock the last 2 nights, I just wanted to do a stopover anywhere at the seaside. I picked at Google maps just the next spot with looked like SANDbeach on the map.
    I arrived there and it turned out to be a hidden paradise. Lots of surfers. And my camper van feels happy among all other campers.
    The sunset from the cliffs at the bay was fantastic.
    Here it was the first time, where people came to me to ask me about the "draw your dream project", because they have seen the sticker on the van.
