Hi,
I'm a 30 year old swiss guy who quit his job as a robotics engineer to go traveling. The job was very interesting, but after 2.5 years I've found that i don't want to do it forever. Lately I grew interested again (as I already was since my childhood) in nature and humanity's part in it. So, besides surfing and travelling, one goal of my travels is to learn as much as possible about different styles of life and new ideas of a life more in sync with our nature and earth. Unchecked consumerism is not only making people in the industrial nations dependent and distressed, but also a main reason for the immesurable poverty and exploitation in the rest of the world. And this sure isn't gona change with the degeneration of the planet (e.g. loss of water ressources, fertile top soil and ever growing pollution with thousands of toxic chemicals).
Besides these issues, I like having a good time with friends and family, meeting new people and just enjoy the moment. I love nature and beeing outdoors, fun sports like surfing, climbing, snowboarding, sailing and beachvolleyball. And I'm always interessted in learning new stuff.
There's not much of a plan about where my travels will go, I'll try to just let it flow and keep it simple. At the moment i'm just starting back north, from Canaries direction Azores on board the sailboat Bessie-Ellen. I'm not that keen to go back to colder wheater, but on the other hand it feels quite ok. to be slowly heading back home, at least for some time...
