Miles & Moments
This is where all the little thoughts end up that there is often no time for otherwise - between two places, two coffees, two sunsets. Miles that I cover and moments that I take with me.
Where Memories Dance
A year passes, but some days remain in your heart forever. At the dance competition, in which Leon once participated, memories, grief, and love come together. A place where pain dances quietly—and the connection to him lives on.

A Piece Of Heaven Above Paris
A weekend in Paris with my daughter—between the Arc de Triomphe, the Eiffel Tower, and the feeling of being a little closer to my son in heaven. A moment full of longing, love, and unforgettable memories.

Invisible milestones
Sometimes it's not the big journeys, but the small, invisible milestones that give us strength. Memories, signs, and quiet moments that carry us through—even in times of loss and pain.

Eyes closed—heart open
I didn't know what to expect today. I hadn't Googled it. I hadn't read up on it. I hadn't planned it. I just said, “I'll join in.” Forest...

Words, miracles and the path to the self
Die Reise zu einem ruhigeren Ich beginnt nicht mit einem Flugticket. Sie beginnt mit einem Entschluss.
Zu atmen. Zu fühlen.
Zu verstehen, dass Worte und Gedanken nicht nur die Welt verändern können – sondern uns selbst.

Between clouds and phone cameras
After the well-deserved “I've done it” moment, it was back down again - not without more stairs leading back up for a change, of course.
And then, somewhere halfway up, it happened:
The moment when I became a sight to behold.

Sailing - I sail on. Even if you are missing
It hit me right in the heart.
As if the song had known that I needed it right there.
Not loud. Not explained. Just there.
Now, a year later, I'm sitting there again after another trip - this time to Vietnam.
Just like in Thailand.
Like back then.
This “I am connected”.
With me. With the world. With him.
With what was and what remains.

Back to everyday life. And yet a little further.
Es war stressig, ja.
Aber auch eine gute Woche.
Weil ich mitgenommen habe, was nicht in den Koffer passt:
Die Gelassenheit im Chaos.
Die Freundlichkeit im Kleinen.
Das Wissen, dass alles irgendwie seinen Weg findet - auch wenn‘s mal nicht nach Plan läuft.

Back. And arrived.
And then: Monday.
The first working day after a month.
The to-dos are not smiling. My computer asks for updates - I ask for mercy.
So I sit there - with jet lag and an Excel spreadsheet - and think:
Okay, Germany. You can't do Pho, but you can have colleagues with a heart.

Back to reality - powered by Deutsche Bahn
Dann: Anschluss verpasst. Nächster Zug verspätet. Meldungen wechseln so schnell wie Google Maps im Tunnel.
Umleitungen, neue Bahnsteige, der Versuch, Orientierung zu behalten - ein Escape Room in Echtzeit.

Last lights, quiet farewell
Vietnam doesn't just welcome guests - it takes you in.
Mit offenen Armen. Mit echtem Lächeln. Mit Begegnungen, die so ehrlich sind, dass sie nachhallen.
Mit einer Art des Miteinanders, von der man sich wünscht, sie ließe sich mitnehmen - über die Grenzen hinweg.

Towards the dragon
Doch das eigentliche Highlight wartete später: der Aufstieg zum Hang Múa.
Ein steiler Weg aus schmalen Stufen, der sich den Berg hinaufschlängelt – und mit jedem Schritt ein bisschen mehr Atem raubt.
Die Sonne brannte, die Beine wurden schwer, aber oben wartete etwas Besonderes:
Der Drachen, der auf dem Gipfel thront, der Glück bringen soll.

Pride in every kilometer
His pride in being part of this history. His respect for his ancestors. His love for what makes this country what it is - with all its contradictions, scars and hopes.

In a stream of consideration
A car between the mopeds - in the middle of the miracle of Hanoi and nobody is fighting. Today I sat in a cab. Windows down, the...

Between worlds
Vielleicht liegt es an Vietnam. Vielleicht auch daran, dass man irgendwann auf Reisen lernt: Es kommt sowieso, wie es kommt.
