Hamburg, 10/11 May 2025
We opened the van life season 2025. But not before it took all the creativity I had to get the van out from between a rock and a hard place! Hamburg was sunny, fun, and very welcoming. We spent hours (that’s what it felt like) on a peddle boat. Looking at the beautiful houses canal-side.…

Thailand, Easter holidays 2025
3000 kms, 15 days, seven flights, four stops and so many moments. The itinerary was wild, spontaneous & so much fun. And so so much more: temples, buddhas, street markets, malls, tuk tuk rides, scooters, beaches, hairbraiding, monkeys. Another amazing trip to add to our wild ride patchwork story.

30 Mar – 4 Apr, Lisbon
Another city. Another job to be done. Well. I love Lisbon. It was once my favourite of all European cities. However, this time I enjoyed it less. The poverty so apparent, the urgency to keep up evident, the desire to be friendly still there. The team and I did a super job. Mission accomplished: help…

Project_M Day 28
Time flies when you’re concentrating on the what you came for. Final day. Checked out of Treurer with a warm fuzzy feeling. It’s a temporary adios. Back 27.10 for retreat #2. It will be fully booked come the summer. Returned to the casita to tidy up. I have absolutely no idea how I will get…

Project_M Day 27/28
Friday, day five of our retreat. Crazy how time has flown. And how intense and fulfilling five days can be. Everyone came seeking clarity, and everyone left with the feeling that they had found some, a lot, enough. Mission accomplished. Day five was about some yoga, some dancing, and saying goodbye. I feel confident that…

Project_M Day 26/28
Day four was all about recalibration and making decisions. The sun was on our side. And we were a great team. Again. But first thing’s first, to be able to help others recalibrate, one must first realign themselves. And then workshop time. It was a good day. Wine-tasting as the afterwork activity. The girls got…

Project_M Day 25/28
Day three was dedicated to body and mind, with emphasis on the body. Yoga in the morning. Hike up to the Puig de Randa. The weather was on our side. The participants enjoyed some physical exertion today. Mid-week disruption served the purpose! clarity as far as the eye can see.

Project_M Day 24/28
Our second full business retreat day started with some clarity and a sky that was very welcoming. Today started with some more clarity and was followed by some curiosity. In our story, it didn’t kill the cat (as the saying goes)! We had a very good mix of input, output, expertise, sharing, and then afterwork…

Project_M Day 23/28
Finally, let the games begin… Project_M. It was a great day full of content, insights and sharing. And we enjoyed the sun as the morning broke like the first morning. We used our journals to navigate through the content and questions relating to clarity. Not only did we share, create and establish clarity, we also…

Project_M Day 22/28
Happy Sunday, and I mean SUN_day! Finally. A beautiful morning. Blue skies. Jenny and I are super excited about the retreat, and sowas von ready! After checking in, I took my faithful set of wheels and cycled through the countryside to a sky full of popcorn clouds. It was 57,5 kms this time! Then home.…

Project_M Day 21/28
It rained so hard last night, it woke me up at 03:00. The house was making its own noises battling the winds. Managed to fall asleep again. And woke to popcorn clouds and light rain. But I found comfort in the fact that someone I know was in this plane. The sun came out upon…
