Mit den Pferden des Dschingis Khan

dachtzehn — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 09:19:48 +0000

At the annual dia-festival organised by the two world cyclists Axel and Peter, I was fascinated to meet some great adventurists who truly captured my imagination with their exiting stories. I was lucky to have a good chat with Monika and Heiner, who gave me a lift back to Switzerland (thanks again!!!). Having travelled Afghanistan for six month and riding through Mongolia and China with “the horses of the Dschingis Khan”, they inspired me but also taught me of the difficulties to earn your living as an adventurer.

A summer well spend – Iceland

dachtzehn — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 08:56:44 +0000

Anyone still wondering what to do over the summer? If you really want to get to know a different country, its people and culture, you will have to live and work there for a little while. A while back I got the amazing opportunity work on one of SEEDS international volunteering project in Iceland. I never knew a work summer could be so fulfilling, eye opening and fun. Oscar is still running several project all summer, get involved and make a difference to yourself and the world around you.

Life is a mountain

dachtzehn — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 01:53:19 +0000

I just got to Switzerland and wonder what mountains are waiting for me this time. As a finale Gerald and I will attempt the Eiger over the Mittelegigrat, perhaps one of the most beautiful mountains in the Alps. After the struggle and strive, standing on top of these magnificent creatures really makes your heart stop for a moment. Please find below a great poem by Dr Biswambhar Dash, The fact of life.

Life is a mystery, explore it,
Life is a challenge, meet it.

Life is a game, play it,
Life is a marathon, run it.

Life is a mountain, climb it,
Life is an ocean, swim it.

Life is a tragedy, endure it,
Life is a wish, fulfill it.

Life is a mirror look at it,
Life is a problem, solve it.

Life is love, share it,
Life is a war, fight it.

Life is short, immortalize it,
Life is God’s creation, revere it.

Swedish summer luck

dachtzehn — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 01:38:12 +0000

I spend most of my childhood summers with my family in a remote holiday house in Sweden, far from any civilisation. My brother and I build boats, cross bows and rafts, swam, fished and explored the forests, hills and islands. A sense of freedom, to roam through the woods and discover nature every day new, to create and be part of adventures, to truly appreciate a warm supper and a good night sleep after a day in the outdoors, at these points I feel in love with life.

If you want to feel some of this spirit please watch/read Into the Wild, a moving story of the journey of Christopher Johnson McCandless sole to discover itself.

Jaccuzzi party on Mont Blanc

dachtzehn — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 01:04:34 +0000

A tribute the greatest “must have mountain equipment” of the century, a jaccuzzi.
I first met Jean-Christophe and the rest of the crazy boys and girls on one of their ski/swim- mountain tours two winters ago. In 2007 (after six years of joyful testing/training) the team managed to have a pool party on tops of the alps (Mont Blanc, 4807m). Thanks for letting me take part in one of your crazy events, made possible only by friendship, innovation, enthusiasm, determination and a little crazyness.
