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.

NEWS: This summer I am off to Altai (Siberia) to buy horses and prepare a journey on horseback to Afghanistan.
