This is THE LIFE: Live your life, doing what you love for a living, without harming anyone or anything (such as the planet). I hope to get ever better at living my life in a coherent manner, sticking to my values and my principles as I go along. Of course, the path hasn't been smooth. When in a cushy, well paid job, one that I actually liked doing, it's hard to leave that behind, deal with the changes, the uncertainties. I had a fall-back, but even this has brought me good things and especially more learning.

Proper and half-proper meditations and visualizations as well as digging into the past to remember what I loved doing as a child and teenager is what brought me to the travelling and outdoors. To now implement this in the most ecologically sound way on an island that faces death by success is somewhat harder. I am nontheless pleased to be self-employed as a guide and to work with an agency such as Wikinger Reisen, which is the only WWF partner in tourism, and that in doing so I can help change the face of tourism as we have known it on Mallorca in the last 50-60 years. Working with people has always been what I like most, I learn every day, and appreciate the diversity I come across, with its easier and harder aspects. A day out in the beautiful diverse nature that Mallorca offers is of course a very precious day, although some would call it a job! 

A second occupation I have is one that fills my heart: Permaculture! I spend quite a large chunk of my "free" time on the association Permacultura Mediterránea. Broadcasting our events, designing a free workshop for sister organizations, coordinating volunteers to help with the cultivation of a food forest on one of the demo sites, wrestling through the accounts and legal documentation or setting up a course in Permaculture Design that actually brings me income and/or help in the projects. As I am currently also enrolled in a Diploma program, I would almost say that I eat-breathe-sleep permaculture, or actually, that I am permaculturizing my life :-).
