I wanted to know what life concepts and motivations are behind the people who live in the van for longer periods or even permanently? What experiences lead to the decision to travel in a van, maybe even to give up life in ‘normal society’ with their own flat and a permanent job? What is special about this way of life? For my series ‘SO MANY WAYS’ I met van dwellers in Portugal and on Tenerife.
Since the beginning of 2022 I am now working on my personal project ‘SO MANY WAYS’.
Soon it will be released…
Here is a little teaser about my work on Tenerife.
What makes someone give up their “normal life” in society?
For my documentary series “SO MANY WAYS” I met people on Tenerife, Spain and in the south of Portugal whose centre of life is their van. The series sheds light on each person’s alternative concept of life. What is the motivation and what events led to this decision?

One of the reasons why I love traveling Africa is nature and the wild animals.
This year we spent 10 days in a row in a national park, always curious what to expect next along the way…⠀
Everybody always thinks I’m just on holiday, but I’m just very slow in editing my pictures and then publishing them during the year. Here are some impressions from our road trip through South Africa in early 2019.
