After almost a year and a half, during which I spent time on two continents and in a total of 10 countries, my journey has come to an end for the time being! I am back in Germany to start a new chapter. Hiking became the central pillar of my journey! I have covered more than 5000 km on foot and climbed over 12000 meters in altitude! I can never seem to get enough of hiking and am already longing for new adventures, even though I’ve already covered so many kilometers.

This return to my home country doesn’t mean the end of my journey, but the beginning of a new phase! Germany is my starting point, but the world is my playground! I’m ready to explore new paths, climb peaks and discover new horizons! With every step I take, I will grow, learn and develop! My hero’s journey is far from over and I am determined to make the most of every moment that life gives me.

I am at a turning point! I am no longer guided by external circumstances, but by an inner vision. It’s time for change – time to break out of the usual rut and consciously shape my life. This return to myself marks the beginning of a new chapter in my hero’s journey!

In the past, turning points were often shaped by external influences. But now I am the architect of my destiny, determining the direction. Looking back, I can see how this journey has shaped me into the person I am today. Every experience, every challenge has shaped me and given me valuable lessons for the future.

The desire for a stable everyday life and a home contrasts with the fear of returning to old routines. I long for more than the mere passing of time, for more than superficial distraction. My desire is to fill life with experiences instead of passively drifting along.

Loneliness in the mountains has taught me that adventures are more intense when shared. On my journey I have already met like-minded people, people who have the same thirst for challenge and discovery as I do. They are out there, and I am ready to find them.

What have I learned about myself? Nature is my source of inspiration and peace. I look for challenges, for unusual paths that few tread. Solitude in the wilderness has shown me how much the hectic pace of life in civilization can weigh me down.

My work should no longer dominate my life planning, but rather serve as a basis for living my life as I imagine it. My inner journey towards self-acceptance and understanding my emotions has only just begun. This path is not an easy one, but I am ready to take it.

I am looking forward to the next chapter of my journey, to familiar faces and new encounters. But there are also fears. The fear of failing, of falling back into old patterns as soon as the distraction disappears. But I know that I am not alone in mastering this path.

The future holds uncertainties, but also infinite possibilities. I am ready to shape my life, realize my dreams and find my place in this world. This return to myself is the beginning of an exciting journey, and I am ready to take every step.
