Twenty years ago I gave up my job as an environmentalist and ever since I have been exploring the deserts of Egypt and the Sudan with a small camel caravan. Lately I directed my attention to Central Asia and Siberia. I am interested in nomadic cultures, nature and religion.
Curiosity is my main drive in life.
Follow me on my present journey, the search for Shambala in the Altai mountains in far away Siberia.
