My Entrepreneurial Journey

I started my first blog in 2011 and have since been regularly publishing content online.

In 2012, I became a location-independent entrepreneur. In the same year, I started a travel blog called Planet Backpack and it quickly became Germany’s most successful website for world travellers and digital nomads. I lost passion for it in 2017 and finally sold it in 2019.

I have started and co-founded many different business projects since, among them a school for professional blogging, a media agency for travel brands, a clothing line and a membership platform for conscious entrepreneurs.

I have created and run a wide range of successful online courses, workshops, retreats, as well as group coaching and mentorship programs.

I studied Communication and Media (B.A. + M.A) at the University of Salzburg, University of Vienna and Bowling Green State University (USA).

I just finished writing my second book. It is about my pursuit to create a meaningful and fulfilling life with one of Germany’s biggest publishers. It will be released in June 2020. After that it will be translated into English.

My first book is about how to break free form the 9-5 and start a location-independent online business to travel the world. You can find it here (Germany only).

My Personal Journey

I have been on a deep spiritual journey and doing my inner personal work since 2012, when a devastating breakup shook me wide awake.

I have since been exploring myself through meditation, Yoga, Buddhism, psychotherapy, life coaching and many other modalities.

I am documenting my entire personal growth process and healing journey.

I am fascinated by how we humans, our minds and the world work. I am driven by an insatiable desire to learn and understand myself and the world around us. It‘s the reason why I am very passionate about psychology and philosophy.

Current Obsessions:

• Psychology and Carl Jung

• Trauma healing and nervous system health

• Longboard surfing

• Breathwork

• Third-Wave coffee and artisan coffee shops

• Daily creative rituals

I Believe That…

• we create work on the level of our consciousness.

• self-awareness is essential for creators and makers who want to make a meaningful impact with their work.

• the purpose of life is to grow and be of service to the world

• challenging the status quo is the way to make the world a better place.

• we need to embrace our shadows in order to find true inner peace and express our full potential.

• we are made to create and that daily creation is a powerful source of fulfillment and meaning.

• we creators with an audience have the responsibility to embrace our personal growth and to create meaningful content = better humans equal better creators.

• daily meditation, physical movement and a clean healthy diet is essential for mental, emotional and physical health.

• minimalism in all areas of life is true freedom.

My Mission:

• to build a community of mindful and passionate creators, whose work is driven by a calling or vision.

• to amplify the voices of conscious creators who share meaningful content.

• to support creators in living an intentional and mindful life while making an impact with their work.

• to share everything I learned on my journey as a creator.

I aim to bridge the gap between:
