Soziale Medien sind viel Arbeit. Ich poste nicht mehr in Echtzeit, da die Reise selbst und das Radfahren schon anstrengend genug sind. Manchmal bin ich wochenlang unterwegs ohne Internetzugang, und selbst wenn ich spät abends im Bett liege, habe ich meist weder die Energie noch die Motivation, noch eine Stunde vor dem Bildschirm zu sitzen. Trotzdem versuche ich, die Ereignisse in meinem eigenen Tempo nachzuerzählen. Das hilft mir auch, die schier endlose Flut an Eindrücken zu verarbeiten.

Coral Bleeching
The Great Barrier Reef – fragile, breathtaking, and worth protecting! 🌊🪸
Drifting over the Great Barrier Reef during my world trip was awe-inspiring – but also a stark reminder of how vulnerable this wonder is. Beneath the surface, I saw beauty, but also the scars left by warming seas, storms, and even outbreaks of invasive Crown-of-Thorns Starfish that devastate coral colonies. 🪸✨
I joined the incredible Coral Nurture Program, where marine scientists and reef tourism operators work side by side. They conduct reef surveys to monitor health, nurture coral fragments in underwater nurseries, and outplant new corals to restore damaged sections. What struck me most was the passion and dedication of the guides, divers, and researchers – people who love this reef so much they’re willing to fight for every piece of it. 🩵
Coral reefs like this face immense pressure: rising sea temperatures, acidification, pollution, overfishing, and invasive species are pushing them to the edge. Yet these fragile ecosystems, covering less than 1% of the ocean floor, support around 25% of all marine life. They protect coasts from storms, feed millions, and fuel tourism economies. Losing them would mean losing biodiversity, food security, and natural defenses against climate change. 🌱🐠
This project inspired me deeply and for now, let’s remember: every coral fragment planted, every survey completed, every act of care matters. Even if you don’t live by the ocean – in addition to reef restoration, reducing greenhouse gases and limiting global warming are essential to saving the reefs.
❓Have you ever seen the Great Barrier Reef with your own eyes? ✨
Thanks & Cheers!
Plastic Pollution
Plastic pollution – one of the biggest environmental challenges of our time.
If you cycle from Germany to Singapore, you’ll see breathtaking landscapes and nature – but also countless places where plastic waste dominates the scene. 🏞️
Plastic is one of humanity’s most significant inventions: light, cheap, functional, durable. It’s everywhere – in our homes, our cars, our clothes, even in the phone you read this on. 📱
But that same durability becomes a massive problem when it’s used for just a moment and then thrown away…
In many countries, plastic is burned – often called “thermal recycling” – but that simply turns a material problem into a climate one by releasing Carbondioxide. 🔥
In others, like Malaysia, there’s often no operating waste system at all. Trash ends up in rivers, carried to the sea, where it slowly breaks down into micro- and nanoplastics. These tiny particles are now found everywhere: in birds’ stomachs, in fish, in drinking water, even in the most remote places on earth in Antarctic ice. And the smaller the particles, the deeper they can enter into our bodies – with so far unknown long-term effects. 🌏
Once in the ocean, plastic is nearly impossible to retrieve. That’s where The Ocean Cleanup comes in – a nonprofit using smart technology to remove plastic from the sea and stop it at the source. They’re targeting the Great Pacific Garbage Patch with passive systems moved by ocean currents and working in rivers with their Interceptor systems. I spotted „Interceptor 002“ on the Klang River in Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia – a glimpse of hope in the fight against ocean waste. 🇲🇾
Still, this kind of tech alone won’t solve the crisis. We need a global effort: fair waste systems in all countries, support from industrialized nations, awareness and education – and above all, accountability. Producers of plastic packaging must finally take responsibility, whether through taxes or by funding proper recycling systems. Only then can we turn the tide. ♻️
Thanks & Cheers!
Singapore - A first milestone of my world trip
Farewell Asia – what this journey through Eurasia has taught me 🌏🚴🏽♂️
With the final push on the pedals, somewhere between tropical humidity and a salty breeze, a significant chapter of this journey comes to an end. From Germany to Singapore in 270 days – 17 thousands of kilometers, countless encounters, quiet moments, and loud realizations. What remains are memories. And lessons for life:

My Company
World bicycle day 2025 🚲🌍
Today, we celebrate more than just a mode of transport – we celebrate freedom, resilience, and the power of two wheels to change the world.
A bicycle isn’t just a bike. It’s a teacher of patience, a builder of strength, and a quiet rebel against pollution and noise.
Across every continent, in villages and megacities, deserts and mountains, the bicycle moves people – to work, to school, to dreams.
It speaks no language, yet it’s understood everywhere. It belongs to no one place – and every place. It connects lives in the simplest, most human way: one pedal stroke at a time.
Every turn of the pedal is a reminder that progress doesn’t always need speed – just determination and direction.
Whether you’re riding across countries or just around the corner, you’re part of a global movement toward a cleaner, healthier, and more connected world. 🌱
Thanks & Cheers!
Difficult Times
These are a few thoughts and experiences that have emerged during the most difficult time of my journey so far. 🚴🏽♂️
This journey is just like life. It is my life. And in life, not everything always goes according to plan.
In week 21-26 I find myself in Pakistan. 🇵🇰
In a country that I never intended to visit at the beginning of my trip and never had the opportunity to do so.
But now I’m here and I’m getting to know the friendliest people ever and I’m incredibly grateful to be here. ☺️
But not everything is always good. And so, unfortunately, I have my first major negative experience in Lahore, Pakistan.
I was violently rubbed while lying in my tent at night. I cry a lot and am totally overwhelmed, but complete strangers help me without hesitation, look after me in hospital, take me in and put me in touch with the police. 👮🏻
My physical wounds heal quickly but mentally I find myself at a level I’ve never been at before. I have a thousand question marks. What happens next? Can it go on at all?
Fortunately, the police are incredibly co-operative and are pulling out all the stops to find the perpetrators with a contingent of hundreds of officers. I’m less optimistic about finding two people in a city with a population of 14 million…
But this event suddenly changes everything about my journey so far, because from now on I am under police protection. I have an officer next to me 24 hours a day. Yes, even in the same hotel room, partially in the same bed.
And then there is another very unfortunate circumstance. My passport is at the Indian embassy in Islamabad to get the paper visa in my passport. Because without a visa, Pakistan is a dead end. But for me it inevitably becomes a nightmare. Because the visa process doesn’t take 10 days, I wait a total of 36 days and then cancel it. But during this time in between, I have the hope every day that I will finally receive the email today that I can pick up my passport.
Until my attack, I had only been travelling outside in nature for 6 months and slept in my tent 95% of the night. But now I’m trapped in a gigantic city that I didn’t like from day one and even worse – in a windowless hotel room. And trapped is the right word. My strength and hope are dwindling with every day that I’m stuck in this hole. And the worst thing about it: I have no control whatsoever. Everything depends solely on the Indian officials, but they prevent any contact. And then there’s the next point: uncertainty. I just don’t know how much longer I’m going to be stuck here. Without my passport, I’m simply trapped and can’t do anything. I’ve already lost all my strength and my hope is at rock bottom. Will it take another day? A week? A month? This situation almost breaks me, but even cancelling the trip and flying home is not possible.
I no longer have any sense of time. I go to bed at 3am and get up at 2pm. I sleep for 12 hours and am still tired and doubt myself and everything.
But Florian… a officer has been sitting next to me 24/7 for a month without even a second of free time. We’re in the same boat. I’ve travelled through the fucking desert. I have everything I need here. I even have air conditioning. This change of perspective and reflecting on the extreme situations I’ve experienced on the journey so far don’t make things pretty, but they do make them a little more bearable. Also the daily phone calls with my family for which I am so grateful. 🙏🏼
I slowly realise that this situation is not inevitably hopeless and I start to work out alternative plans and implement them after a month. I cancelled the visa process, which cost me another week and a lot of nerves, and after 36 days I finally had the opportunity to leave this place and continue my journey with an alternative plan.
And now 2 months later I’m in Bangkok and so glad that I didn’t let it get me down and I’m so looking forward to everything that lies ahead – and I can sleep in my tent again without nightmares. ✨
That was an absolute extreme experience that I would have gladly missed out on. But it’s part of it now and I’ve learnt a lot about myself.
What in life ever truly goes according to plan?
Cheers! ☺️
