WHEN ONE DOOR CLOSES, KEEP ON WALKING ’TIL YOU FIND THE WINDOW
There’s this one line from a Rascal Flatts song — one of my favorite country bands — that always sticks with me: “And if one door opens to another door closed, I hope you keep on walkin’ till you find the window.“ The song is called My Wish. The lyric isn’t just poetic, it’s practical. It echoes in my head every time something doesn’t go as planned, or when a result turns out differently than I’d hoped.
Life throws us roadblocks — and not the neat, clearly marked kind. I’m talking about the “your GPS just gave up” kind. And in those moments, this line reminds me not to stop at the closed door. Not to sit there waiting for it to open. But to keep moving until something new, something unexpected, appears — even if it’s just a small window of opportunity. Continue reading

WHEN A CONSCIOUS DECISION UNCONSCIOUSLY CHANGES YOUR LIFE
Sometimes we believe we’re making a decision with our mind — carefully weighing pros and cons, feeling into the “right” path. But what if that decision wasn’t just yours? What if it was a quiet nudge from your soul, setting you on a path your conscious mind couldn’t fully grasp yet?
One conscious choice, aligned with your deeper truth, can awaken unseen forces — guiding you, reshaping you, and leading you to a life you didn’t even know your heart was dreaming of.
In this article, we’ll explore how conscious decisions become sacred turning points — and why trusting these moments, even when they stir up chaos, is part of your higher unfolding. Ready to meet the version of you that’s already waiting on the other side? Continue reading

PLANNING THE UNKNOWN
As I prepare for my almost 9-month journey around the globe — starting in exactly two weeks on July 23 (more about my journey see Notes) — I find myself reflecting on the past five months. Months filled with excitement, anticipation, and a bubbling sense of adventure. I feel an overwhelming joy and deep gratitude in my heart. How lucky am I to be able to just take off and go?
But I’d be lying if I said everything felt light and carefree. Continue reading

TRAVEL UPDATE 1: INDONESIA
Of Lows, Dives & Transformation – My Start Into The Great Travel Adventure
Finally, the first travel update is here! I’ve now arrived in Chicago — but my time in Indonesia, the starting point of my almost nine-month adventure, is still deeply resonating with me. Almost every day, I find myself thinking back to special moments: the warm-hearted people, their deep cultural connection — and, of course, the magical experiences beneath the waters surface. But let’s start from the beginning.

TRAVEL UPDATE 2: SINGAPORE
Between Colonial Charm and Futuristic Modernity
My journey from Indonesia takes me to Singapore – a city I last visited in 1989, on my very first self-funded trip from Australia back to Switzerland. Naturally, I’m planning a multi-day stopover. Back then, what stood out most was Chinatown – and the feeling of practically melting in the hot and humid climate. This time, after seven weeks in Indonesia, I’m perfectly acclimated and excited to experience the metropolis with fresh eyes. Continue reading

TRAVEL UPDATE 3: CHICAGO
Architecture Dreamland and All That Jazz
On my overnight stop at Zurich Airport in Switzerland, I meet up with a dear friend who kindly equips me with warmer clothes for the colder temperatures awaiting me on the next leg of The Journey. On September 18, I board another plane—this time bound for Chicago, one of my favorite cities in the world. Continue reading

TRAVEL UPDATE 4: CANADA
Stunning Landscapes, Genuine People and A Lot of Tear-Providing Memories
Looking back at the past five weeks in my birth country fills me with joy and deep gratitude. Even though I grew up in Switzerland, Canada shaped a huge part of who I am. My parents took me on countless trips across this vast land — endless skies, raw landscapes, genuine people, and untouched nature. Even for a Swiss, it’s a lot to take in. Continue reading

DIARY OF A MENTAL CRASH AND RECLAIMING BALANCE
It’s December 1 — a good four months into my adventure — and I have hit rock bottom! If I had to be on a plane home tomorrow, I would not fight it.
I am on a journey of a lifetime but all I sense is utter exhaustion. The fabric of my body feels like a garment that has been worn for ages. The threads are coming undone. As much as I am trying to shed it, it is deeply intertwined with my skin. My heart is cemented in concrete and is listless. I can’t feel joy or much of anything else. Continue reading

TRAVEL UPDATE 5: BAJA CALIFORNIA SUR (MEXICO)
A Journey Through Highs, Lows, and Letting Go
November 22: I am embarking on my fourth leg of “The Journey”, although my Winnipeg friend calls it “The Pilgrimage”. I like that😍.
After almost two years of absence, I am finally returning to Mexico. I am excited and can hardly await being in one of my spiritual places again, in Baja California Sur (BCS). I’m mainly returning for the scuba diving and—hopefully—to finally snorkel with the whale sharks, the largest fish alive today, off the peninsula El Mogote in La Paz. This will be my third attempt, after heavy winds and harbor closures on my two previous trips. Will I finally be lucky enough to snorkel with these incredible creatures? Continue reading
