Wild Hearts Belong In The Wild

As I promised before, here is the person who came up with the most creative name for someone like myself…

Our raw souls are tempered by the rawness of her soul the softness of her smile and the openness of her heart

This, Gaia This, Mother Nature This, all and everything is but a footprint upon the existence of the path yet to be trod and you, Elena, are The Walker of Dreams ~ Martin Shone

Uruguay is one of my favorite countries in the world. Yes, it’s the people, nature and the freedom, that ravished my soul.

El Galope ranch is one of those places, that will never leave you. When you step onto the grounds, you will never leave whole. The muddy soil, the warmth of the people who’s hearts don’t lie and the horses, who’s eyes force you to let go, will somehow, rip all your walls down. No matter how high you’ve built them up, they will come crashing down…

This is a land of love, pride and passion… this is Uruguay.

I couldn’t write a long caption on NG, but I hope you’ll be able to feel, what I felt, when I saw this through my lens.

My life’s credo is – I choose to collect memories instead of things…

Spellbound

Fes, Morocco

Fes, Morocco

Must admit – I love trains!

For me, it’s the most sensual way of travel.

I always find myself being taken by the sound of the tracks, the scenery and the fascinating stories that trains hold…

It’s a place where I feel like the road doesn’t have to end. That this life on the road is both, my salvation and my curse…

My friend once said;

” You will always be everywhere and nowhere ” – D.P.

He might be right.

But because I don’t speak French or Arabic well enough, it resulted in a fight with a cab driver, who dared to demand

50 euros…
