TwentySHINEteen

Here’s to radical self-expression. Thanks TwentyGREATeen , you were my best year yet, and welcome TwentySHINEteen. For me last year was a powerful transformation that I’ll always remember in the spirit of the butterfly. Without realizing, my journey took me to 16...

The foundation for a still unknown building

I AM BACK. So much happened. And again, I failed to keep this blog up to date which in hindsight always feels bad. There's just so much going in my life and keeping my writing routine just fell off the table. Something I'll hopefully get back on with from now. I'm...

Spending election-time in Kenya

The whole of last week felt like a holiday. All our kids are at home, school closed last Tuesday, almost no traffic on the roads, everything quite. It's a nice opportunity to spent more time with the kids. The national re-elections in Kenya happened last Thursday 26th...

My current morning routine in Kenya

What a beautiful start into the day. When I start my days as I intended to, it's almost like I'm wearing different glasses. My attitude towards everything in the morning hours is defined by how I wake up. If I have the feeling of accomplishment early in the morning,...

Going full-time Crypto

Jeeessssss time flies! I'm now back in Kenya since almost a week. How is that even possible. Wow. I've been keeping up my writing but more in private than in public. Though I also need to admit that I am behind with like 6k words. Which is so so. In that regard I...

Control Your Reactions, Control Your Life

Yesssssaaa. I'm falling behind with my 1k words daily. Been busy the last days and couldn't really execute my morning routine. Too late to bed, and early rising due to appointments. But, so much happening and I love it! As I wrote a few days ago I had to spent this...

It's been a ride. That's for sure. And even though it feels like an eternity, I know it's just been the very beginning of... this... my life. Today, 5 years ago, I touched African soil here in Kenya for the very first time. And what happened since then almost seems...

I am not who I think I am

I am not who I think I am

This might seem a bit of a random order, but I've to plug this here just now. I'm back in Cape Town since 20th March, after an epic experience with Nomad Convoy. After recovering for a week or so, I flew to Durban to become a Secret Sunrise Instructor. We had an...

2017 – The Year of infinite possibilities

It's been just over a month that we are in 2017, but things fall faster into place than I can keep track of.  I want to take a little moment to reflect on January and to drive my vision for the rest of the year. At least as far as I can imagine it for now.   The...

Beyond wealth in the now

Beyond wealth in the now

My life being a rollercoaster of learning and loving. It's hard to comprehend how wealthy some of us really are.  What was given to me in those past years is of priceless nature. No money, no gold, nothing in this world can measure it. And knowing this, I am beyond...

My 2017 forecast

My 2017 forecast

My 2017 forecast I know I've absolute incredible friends around the world, doings lots of very different but somehow specific things and I also know that I've never been "THE GUY" for something specific. So for me it's always hard to answer the question "What are you...

I did it again. Co-Founder.

I did it again. Co-Founder.

Life goes funny ways doesn't it. I've had the absolute honor to spent the last week with incredible human beings in beautiful nature. There literally no place on this very planet where I would've rather spent New Years then in Wild Spirit in Natures Valley, South...

We are on full steam!

We are on full steam!

Damn I should try to update this blog more often, especially after I write about bad news! Because mostly things change for the good very quickly and it's a shame if one reads only the bad things 😉 I'm now back in the mother city Cape Town and I love it! I really...

Time of reckoning for Nomad Convoy

Time of reckoning for Nomad Convoy

Wow, seems like a lot of people started to look at this blog when researching Nomad Convoy. I didn't really expected that to happen but anyways. We've nothing to hide. I like transparency, though I understand that most people don't expected this kind of insight into a...

A strong foundation

A strong foundation

I'm having a hard time to put into words what happened in the last week. Since we started this non-profit organization back in January 2015 I've been trying to stay under the radar here in Kisumu for most of the time. My reason for that was that I didn't want to...

Screw it, let’s do it!

Screw it, let’s do it!

I'm glad I just read Richard Branson's book "Screw it, let's do it". That man faced way bigger challenges than the ones I'm currently struggling with and he made it through all of them. What a legend. At the same time I'm reading "the ONE thing". Both books are...
