Why travel round the world?
At the age that nearly each boy would like to be an engine driver or pilot, there I dreamed about an orbiting with the airplane. As much takeoffs and landings as possible, short breaks only in an emergency.
In the wild years as teenager there's much more turning than only the earth and I was glad to have occasionally again one moment on which I knew where I am. There was so much to discover, the place played no role, the most important was to be away somewhere. Hardly twenty, I took the first opportunity for a larger journey and visited South America for half a year. Back in the homeland I had yet the conception of decamp after a few months of work again. First this interferes, then that and still much more. This counted itself somehow on eight years, accordingly largely is the desire to travel and the range of the project. |
Why just with the motorcycle?
Two-wheelers belong since long time to my hobby. Already as a small kid I dreamed about driving a motorcycle (somehow you have to return home when the airplane has landed), still today everything on two wheels fascinates me. Temporally seen I spend more hours per year on the bicycle, than on the motorcycle, then I can connect passion and fitness training. |
Why straight now?
For Jasmin and me the selected time is ideal. We have still no current obligations as for instance a house or children, which makes us very flexible. Besides we made both a certain career and did finish some further training before departure. That gives us a certain security considering returning home and gain ground. For me personally this time-out means the chance to reflect and the opportunity to start maybe with something complete new. |
Why the hell me?
If I cannot answer this question rudimentary within two minutes with my own acting, then I leave it in principle aside, since it won't bring you further. Neither do I look for higher rules where no are, nor do I see me as a victim of a society or a system. This attitude is not to be confounded with indifference, I feel myself in a privileged position, wastes however no energy over why I am born in western Europe and can do such a journey. My ambition and the endeavor to carry the maximum out again and again make me confidently that I will terminate the journey, although I do not rank myself among (outwardly) the hard chaps with gasoline in the blood. |
What comes after?
For me it is at present (six months before the departure) clear that I will focus again fully on the work after the trip and look already forward to it. In which area that will be I naturally cannot say yet, I'm curious about it myself. But I don't feel burned out by far, I'm much too young to lean back and still much too hungry on life (of which work is a major part). The thought of making professional experience abroad provokes me. More to come. |
