Plan and create personalized, sustainable adventure trips, to travel like a local, bring out the best in you and Discover Your Nature!

Spectacular landscapes, untouched nature, remote wilderness. Often breathtaking, sometimes overwhelming, and always fragile. To discover these places of total beauty we go beyond tourists‘ paths to seek a deeper understanding of nature and its interconnectedness. We may find it in the majesty of a 10,000 year old glacier, or the wisdom of indigenous people that have inhabited their land for countl

ess generations. Aware that we are just guests, we immerse with respect and sustainability in mind, staying in unique lodges or sometimes a field bed beneath a million stars. Our real luxury is the unique experience we take home. A once in a lifetime adventure that we begin to sense long before we embark, that resonates, and becomes part of us - pure and wild…

The last stage of our Adventure Down Under was a visit to stunningly beautiful South Australia.

What a privilege to spend 3 days on a house boat with Murray River Trails, exploring the unique ecosystem and divine landscapes boarding the river.

With no soul around, we set out on foot to encounter wildlife, take in the breathtaking views from the river banks, or simply enjoyed the privacy of the boat and stillness of the river. At night, absolutely zero artificial light obstructed the view of a million stars and the Milky Way.

After a last sunrise hike we took off by helicopter, crossing over to the Barossa Valley in style. The Louise, our most exclusive and welcoming hotel, left nothing to be desired.

There, we went to visit some of Australias famous wineries, award winning restaurants, and tasted 100 year old port straight from the barrel, finishing this amazing adventure on a real high.

Had a whale of a week in Brisbane, host of the 2032 Olympic Games and our fabulous Australian Tourism Exchange 25. What a beautiful City with great people, who put on quite a show for us. The Olympics promise to be a blast…

It is but a small part of the Island, the Northeast of Tasmania, we visited during five days of ‘Coming down for Air‘. A great reminder that Tassie is a destination of its own with so much more on offer.

Home to a vast variety of endemic wildlife, world class wineries, exciting culinary offerings, and stunning lodges. A tightly knit web of hiking / biking trails, and a breathtaking coastline with wild and deserted beaches throughout, offer sheer infinite opportunities to get active and explore.

And despite the increasingly dynamic development, the Island is managing to keep its distinct character and soul - made up of rougher edges, and welcoming, unpretentious, open people.

It is this unique and inviting blend that makes discovering the stunningly beautiful landscapes, rugged coastline, and vibrant communities of Tasmania so rewarding.

Colombians…

…are ultimately passionate, happy, active, modest, open, honest, and humble. They live in a country of total beauty, and with so many facets. Not a perfect country by all means, but in many ways a place so worth living in - feeling grateful…

Traditions

Living in the Americas, it is always special (and somewhat melancholic) returning to Europe and revisit places from past lives, old friends, and living traditions.

Priceless: Dinner with friends on Thames Bank. An evening at Le Rubis, Paris wine bar, that has not changed in over 30 years. The hike up and last visit to Kitzbühel’s panoramic Hornköpfl hut (Sold! - tradition not continued), and drinks at Zuma, one of its swanky Bars.

Then, back in Munich, a walk in Nymphenburger Park, preferred student jogging trail, and a final Bavarian Beer to wrap up 6 fast paced, fabulous days in the/my Old World…

It was the first time I touched down in Colombia that I got to visit Los Llanos, more than 5 years ago. And also the moment, I fell in love with this country.

Los Llanos is a place where the culture of the Llanero Cowboys perfectly intertwines with an ecosystem so rich in wildlife. Completely flooded about 7 months out of the year, it is home to 300 bird species, Giant Anteaters, Anacondas, and the elusive Jaguar. One of the few places in the World where you have good chances to see these iconic animals.

Ahead of Colombia Travel Market in Bogotá, I had the opportunity to revisit the Llanos and explore Hato La Aurora, the largest private natural reserve in Colombia. We set out on foot, canoe, horseback - the Llaneros still ride barefoot up to this day, and Safari jeep, to immerse in the magic of the lands and waters.

For the occasion I packed the same blue shirt I wore the first time around, and was overwhelmed once again by the beauty of this region and their amazing people so firmly rooted in their traditions…

Snow and ice as far as the eye can see - I knew Greenland only from hours flying across this seemingly endless white desert. Finally, the moment came and I touched down in Nuuk, the capital, populated by a mere 20,000 souls.

80 % of Greenland’s population are Inuit. Immediately curiosity and the desire to immerse in a way of life that thrives in the challenging conditions of the Arctic Ocean kick in.
A hike at -20º C and biting cold winds blowing down from the ice field give us a first taste of what the elements have on offer here. But the beauty and solitude of the mountainous landscape offsets all harshness.

Next stop on our itinerary is Ilulisat 500 km further North - and at least 10 degrees colder. We set out by boat, crushing through Sea ice that built up over the past days, and head towards the gigantic ice bergs that are stuck in Disko Bay, shining in all imaginable hues of blue.

Greenlanders are welcoming people. They know it is cold outside, so their house is always open for friends and strangers alike. For dinner, we are invited to a private home where we are served local dishes from muskox and reindeer to Seafood delicacies like stone crab and whale meat.

Fishing and hunting remain the only way to survive where nothing grows, and the need for vitamins is covered by the skin of Beluga whales rather than vegetables or fruit.

In a land that has 50 different words for snow and ice, dog sleds often are the only means of transportation and of getting food on the table. For the experience, we jumped into seal skins and spent the morning with local mushers and their fabulous Greenlandic dogs.

Our Arctic winter adventure was crowned by a display of Northern lights in the crystal clear (and at -32º C crispy cold) night sky.
When the time came, we stepped outside in wonderment before returning to the comfort of our glass villas and continue watching the spectacle from inside.

Greenland is one of the last truly wild and remote places. What remains after this first encounter with total and increasingly fragile beauty: the yearning to return - as soon and often as possible…

Summiting Cotopaxi - a story told backwards

It is on the way down from this mountain, towering 5897 m high, when the emotions come out almost uncontrollably - from the effort of heading out into the cold and dark at midnight and embarking on an uphill journey that gets steeper and more strenuous with every 100 m of elevation we gain.
A revolting stomach, slight nausea, and an aching head slowing me down further on the final stretch.
Then, just below the peak, a sulphurous stench hits us - Cotopaxi is an active volcano that last erupted two years ago. The fumes still coming out steadily force us to put on the gas mask we had brought. Just what you need when the air is thin already.
All that is forgotten when, just as daylight begins to set in, you stand on the crater rim looking down into the abyss and the World far below - across the plains all the way to the city lights of Quito in the North, some 80 km away as the crow flies.
15 minutes, no more, we grant ourselves to enjoy the views before we decide to head back down and lose altitude. The body cools off too quickly at temps of -10 c with gusty winds.
The descent then gets easier with every minute as we cross a wonderland of ice and fresh snow the onset of the wet season has brought over the past days.
As we finally take off the crampons and hike down the winding gravel road from the Refugio to the parking lot where Nelson, our driver, picks us up again, it is easy to feel overwhelmed - by the strain of the past 8 hours, but also Cotopaxi’s majesty we got to experience up close and in perfect conditions on this epic hike.

What a wonderful start of a New Year, exploring Quito with a group of friends, then continuing to conquer its spectacular surrounding Andes peaks.
With every day, we are gradually venturing higher: from Pasochoa and Rumíñahui to snow covered Iliniza, surpassing 5000 masl - all in preparation for summiting magic Cotopaxi. Recent snowfall lets the active volcano appear even more beautiful when he draws back the curtains for us early morning. We are slowly getting closer…

There‘s always time for a quick photo, especially for a generation who never knew a World without an Apple device.
What‘s great to see is how nature, and the magic of the Sierra Nevada are taking over, every day a bit more, opening senses for the beauty of the real World.
Grateful for those precious moments with son Benno in my favourite Colombian playground.

AdventureNEXT Fiji, an event organised by my global adventure travel family, brought the opportunity to finally visit the destination I had dreamed about seemingly forever.
Expecting a tropical paradise with white sandy beaches and crystal clear waters, I arrived, only to find my expectations exceeded on day one.
For most parts Fiji still has this feel of being remote and untouched: beaches (almost) without plastic waste, and corals of colours I had last seen 30 years ago. We went snorkelling in reefs full of life and diving with Bull Sharks (!) - I am still exhilarated by the intensity of the experience.
We hiked scenic trails through tropical forests, across waterfalls, and over green rolling hills with breathtaking views of the archipelago.
But Fiji would not be Fiji without its beautiful, warm, friendly, open, smiling, joyful people and their welcoming culture - rooted in tradition, and having come a long way from its cannibalism past. Together with my awesome pre-adventure group I had such a blast.
And after our Adventure Travel conference came to a close last night, we leave inspired by the respectful, inclusive, sustainable, and regenerative road Tourism Fiji is taking to lead their tropical Pearl into the future…

Fiji had been on my list for probably 50 years. Finally, the opportunity came via an invitation to participate in AdventureNEXT Fiji.
Expectations were high, and surpassed on the first couple of days already. The dive with bull sharks was one of my most exhilarating experiences ever. Our group was totally overwhelmed!
Not to mention the spectacular setting, incredible waters, and lovely people of this tropical paradise…
