If you know anything about me, then you probably know that I love to surf world class waves. Even though I grew up landlocked in Germany and did not start surfing until I was 20 years old, I still managed to surf more world class waves than your average surfer. But don’t get me wrong, […]

If you followed my journey around the world you know that I do not hesitate to eat radical food on the road. Hell, I even ate steamed sheep head in Morocco. But when I’ve seen those two frogs in a plastic bag I really reached my limit. I don’t know why I wasn’t able to […]
