ABOUT ME
For more than 15 years, I have been traveling the world with my camera as a travel photographer, book author and filmmaker and prefer to travel by e-bike to get to know the country and its people better. When I'm not on the road, I live in Erfurt with my wife Marion and work full-time as a photographer, author, speaker and filmmaker.
Successes so far
In terms of bike touring, this was certainly my bike trip from Munich to Singapore and the circumnavigation of Australia on a Haibike eq Trekking in 2012. At the time, this was the longest e-bike tour in the world. For me personally, the biggest success is that I've managed to be able to travel by bike full-time and make a living from it. At the end of 2023, I also stood on stage for the 1000th time in 15 years to give a live presentation. Also a personal milestone.

The best bike region is ...
The country that surprised me the most when it came to cycling was Germany. As a young adult, I wanted to get as far away from my own country as possible, to the most exotic countries, until I cycled through all 16 federal states in 2016. Since then, I've been delighted with my home country, which has a very good cycling infrastructure and I've rarely traveled to a country that has so much to offer in such a small area. And the best thing about it is that it's right on my doorstep.

When i´m not biking, then...
I'm on stage talking about my bike trips or working in editing and post-production. I also enjoy traveling privately, like good food, am a coffee junkie and like to play basketball.
