LIFE. UNFILTERED.

1,558 km on foot.

My wife and I.

From Cologne to the Mediterranean.

The story of a journey that changed everything.

My Life For real

The guy in the photos here is me, and my name is Frank. Ever since I was a kid, I've dreamed of discovering, meeting people, getting to know the world, and traveling. But life always presented me with the right excuses not to travel — and I used them consistently.

Until my trip to the Mediterranean, I lived my life — or rather: It lived me.

After that trip, life caught up with me again. It dealt me a hard blow and shook me awake.

And so I'm heading for new shores.

Redesign

Retro is supposed to be cool, so why all this effort, and does every old thing really have to go?

Do I use AI?

Better Google, wrong answers, bubble, job killer, am I really using this devilish stuff?

Why this site?

Why even have a website, am I that important, and aren't there already enough cranks out there?
