    07. Experiencing Vietnam on a Motorbike - No Plans, Just Laughter and a Chaotic Crew

    From dodging scooters and trucks in Hanoi to chasing clouds through mountain passes, join me as I take on Vietnam by motorbike - with my best friend from Switzerland and a few solo travelers from around the world, we somehow became the funniest, most chaotic crew. None of us had proper motorbike experience, and with zero plans, we set off anyway. Many flat tires, rainy days and a few unexpected police encounters later, we had a trip we'll never forget. Expect laughter, chaos, stunning landscapes, and a whole lot of roadside adventure.

    06. Hitchhiking Through Guadeloupe's Heart - A Story about Human Kindness

    In this episode, I share the raw, unscripted reality of hitchhiking through the lush landscapes of Guadeloupe, the butterfly island of the Caribbean. From sleeping on a beach under the stars (and the rain) to relying on the kindness of strangers who opened up their cars and homes to me. It's a story about spontaneity, vulnerability, and the unexpected generosity that turns simple travel into something unforgettable.

    05. Facing Myself in Silence - A Vipassana Story

    I share my experience of attending a 10-day Vipassana meditation retreat deep in the heart of Sri Lanka. No phone, no talking, no distractions - just silence, stillness, and the raw process of turning inward. From physical discomfort to emotional breakthroughs, I open up about what it's really like to sit with yourself when there's nowhere to hide.

    03. Immersed in Sayulita, Mexico! Surfing, Farming and Finding My Spanish Voice

    Over three months, I dove into the rhythm of Sayulita - learning to ride waves, work the land on a permaculture far, and embrace the Spanish language. Along the way, I was also confronted with the reality of how deeply the narco trade is implemented in normal life in Mexico. This podcast captures the challenges, growth, and unexpected moments that came with fully immersing myself in a new way of life. Sayulita unknowingly planted a seed in my heart, shaping the way I traveled and experienced the world. It left a profound impact, one that my 21-year-old self could never have imagined .Yet, years later, I'm still on this path - guided by curiosity, embracing the unknown, and exploring the world with an open heart.

    02. No Land in Sight! My First Time on a Sailboat - Crossing the Caribbean Sea

    I sailed across the Caribbean Sea - probably the most poetic way to leave Latin America after over two years of exploring. I had never set foot on a sailboat before, but I knew this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Here's how I managed to hitchhike from Colombia to St. Martin on a sailing boat with two strangers. An experience where time seemed to disappear, making the present moment feel infinite and unbound. To this day, it remains one of the most rewarding adventures I've ever had. Three weeks of nonstop sailing - no stops, just open water - gave me plenty of time to reflect on my years in Latin America, the changes I've gone through, and the journey ahead. It was a chance to process it all while also feeling the excitement of returning to Europe, where so many people were waiting to welcome me with love.
