1 – 3 November, London
The big smoke aka London never gets boring. This time it was a quick hop and skip to take one of the four children back to the UK for another half-term at school. For non-British residents, don‘t even try and rent the Santander Bikes. It doesn’t work, even though downloading the app does. We were…

11 – 19 October, Mallorca
Mallorca one month later. This time with my family and a bit more time for everything. We had a lovely house in Randa: And we had a crazy adventure walking the Torrent de Pareis. And we did a lot for our Vitamin C depots: Here’s to many more days on la isla bonita in 2025…

26 – 29 September, Bremen
Workcation as in work mode on, vacation mode thereafter. I love going away for this form of deep work. Few if any distractions, focused thoughts, and no chance of procrastination. Combine it with yoga in the morning, some more sports later, a bit of sauna, and a nice evening meal and you’re in this amazing…

13 – 15 September, Zeewolde, NL
Kaospilots go Resort De Parel. Finally we meet again. Tallinn, London, Hamburg, Dortmund & Bielefeld (sounds like a heist team) in one place at the same time. Fantastic. It all started in 2016 in Aarhus, DK. A creative leadership course full of individual individuals! We had a great weekend together, cooking … Eating … Cycling…

2 – 5 September, Mallorca
Project_M, a very spontaneous idea. And now nearly as ripe as the pomegranates we saw growing in Son Brull. 72 hours on la isla bonita. A Fiat 500, a flat near the Bierkönig, and a whole lot of enthusiasm for the plans we have next year. Tried the FindPenguins App for the first time: Honestly,…

22 – 26 August, Vienna
Santa was a generous man last Christmas! Coldplay tickets in Vienna had my name written on the gift tag, and he tossed in a night train there and back. It was a tremendous concert, so authentic, and so much fun. And what’s more, Uli and Vera flew in to join us! And I didn’t know…

9 – 16 August, Zeeland, the Netherlands
A patchwork deluxe family holiday near the beach is exactly what the summer ordered. Amazing weather, super accommodation, and time to simply live in the moment. Andi and I cycled three times, some 150 kms in total. Along the coastline, across bridges and through quaint little Dutch villages. And we were fast. But this kind…

15 — 18 July, Tuttlingen
I have lost count of the number of times I have been to Tuttlingen to conduct workshops! But many times is for certain. If only it wasn’t so far away. Recently I tend to fly as it is faster. The Bahn is always a challenge, not only for the obvious reasons, but also because I…

12 — 14 July, Berlin
Where do I start? Van, just the two of us, wild camping. Kreuzberger nights. Very close to the Tempelhof Feld. It’s so vast and it’s 355 hectares of recreational paradise. The Neue Nationalgalerie was showing the usual (like Gerhard Richter), and the crude velvet rage beauty exhibition with unknown to me (and no doubt many)…

6 July, 24 hours in Rotterdam
When friends tie the knot, it’s very likely we’ll be there. I do love weddings, gatherings & social occasions! And dancing in someone else’s kitchen is a must! Rotterdam as such is … not as exciting as I thought it might be. But that’s okay. It rained and rained and rained some more. Cities that…

1 July 2024, day #19/19, going-home time
After 19 days on the road away from home, seven flights, four hotels, some buses, boats, taxis, e-scooters, and now only two trains to go: I will be home again with a suitcase full of dirty washing, and a big smile on my face. Not only have I determined that the world is round, but…

30 June 2024, day #18/19, au revoir
Now that all the fundamental Zonta decisions have been made, Beatrix & I decided to go on a day trip to Moreton Island, Aboriginal name: Mulgumpin (pronounced Moor-gum-pin)! It was a very early start! Uber to bus, bus to boat, boat to island. There were fish as far as the eyes could see. Breams aplenty. Beautiful.…
