You wonder why I love the mountains? Even if you question everything, the trail will be there for you without any questions. You only carry what you need. There is no room for fashion or excess, everything is functional and you rely on it. A small backpack only as a big one will weigh heavy on your shoulders. That leaves as well less room for heavy thoughts. When hiking there is no breath to waste for useless words. You find your rhythm which carries you over, the rest is deep conversation and kindness. Persistently put one foot in front of the other and you will reach. Walking is deeply rooted in our sapiens DNA and it offers that deep connection of who we were, are and will be. The pure power of nature. You don’t mess with darkness, snow, wind, rain but remember to a time when listening to nature and being connected to our surroundings was an integral part of our daily life. The appreciation of a warm soup after a long day, of a hot shower after several days washing with cold water, of changing in your slippers after hiking in your boots all day. Not the ones with the most expensive gear or the ones who walk fastest will reach but the ones who know how to listen – to their bodies, to nature, to their surroundings. In the absence of network and data connection the world shrinks. Strangers play games and converse in mountain cabins. Your mind slows without distraction. Being in the mountains puts everything into relation. That’s why I go. #alpsappreciationpost #latergram #hiking #bliss https://www.instagram.com/p/BoBjQaFn8lw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1x7ntqohjnoo6

Happy 2018! Already back fir some days after a great roadtrip in Kenya with some friends from Germany. I learned to see my second home with new eyes again and we discussed a topic that is dear to me - clothing and recycling. Up for a 2018 challenge? No fast fashion in 2018? Find us under #dumpsterplanetchallenge2018 on Facebook. As well a #swaplap 2018 (clothing swap party) is loading #atitagain #2018 #challenge #change #fastfashion

Dass der Konsum für westliche Gesellschaften konstitutiv ist, es sich also um Hochkonsumkulturen handelt, fließt andererseits nun aber nicht in kollektive Selbstbeschreibungen ein. Minister kämen wohl schwerlich auf die Idee, den nationalen Benzinverbrauch oder die Menge der landesweit verzehrten Schweine abzufeiern. Und mehr noch: In der einseitigen Betonung von "Leistung" – sprich: Produktion – wird der Konsum als Kehrseite dezidiert beschwiegen. Historisch gesehen ist das gerade im Fall Deutschlands insofern nicht selbstverständlich, als das sogenannte Wirtschaftswunder, das in weiten Teilen ein mit ausländischen Krediten finanzierter Kaufrausch war, bis heute zum Kernbestand des kollektiven Gedächtnisses gehört.

Olegoseille - one of the oldest excavation sites in kenya. Loads of hand tools, some 500000 to 3 million years old. Might be the start of professional job distribution? #kenya #oldolderoldest #cradleofmankind

After several years in kenya I finally made it up north. Stunning Lake #turkana, a lot of fish, blazing hot days, almost no #crocodiles, sleeping in the open and staying overnight in Central Island National Park. As a visit to sibiloi didn't work out this time I hope to be back at some point #tembeakenya #ontheroad #sweatystories #jamhuri #kenya
