Buenos Aires

Hey chicos,
I was not blogging since Medellin. I went all the way back through Ecudor until Lima in Peru to get my plane to Buenos Aires. And here I am now, livng with to other guys in Palermo, a nice and quiet hood of BA. Last week I had a few visitors from Germany and we did a more or less traditional argentinian BBQ called Asado. The meat here is incredible. I will stay here the next 3 months to work on my movie and visit some lessons at the university. Party people we keep in touch.
Abrazo y besitos Johannes

Pirates of the Caribian

Hey my dear fellas,
after Elisabeth picked me up in Ecuador, we traveled straight through to the caribian coast. We spent 4 days in buses, and arrived finally at the beautiful coastline of colombia. Our base was Taganga, from where we started our trips to the famous national parc "Tayrona" and little villages in direction to the venezuelanian border.

Hola amigos,
my five week volunteership is now over here in the beautyful mountains of Izhcayluma. I made a lot of new connections all over the globe. For now I worked enough and feel new wind blowing into my sails. Elisabeth who is studying with me in Trier, came through to get me outta here! I swopped my heavy-duty horse "Sultan" into a motorcycle, which will hopefully take us to Colombia. Big kisses from Ecuador and some sunrays for the never ending winter in Europe.

Besitos Juan y Elisabtha

Ecuador

Howdy Kids,
I guess everyone of you had a graceful start into 2010 and may all your wishes for this year will come true. After a big flood of tourists hit my chilling cave in Mancora, I felt a wind going thru my hear, telling me to move on. So I bought a horse named Sultan and rode a few days until I arrived in a secret spot in Ecuador. Here in Vilcabamba the grass is greener, the air is fresher and life is beautiful because of these circuumstances. Anyway I started a volunteer at a nice Hostal called Izhcayluma, which was set up by two german brothers in 2001. I am working as a waiter and a barkeeper. I will stay here five more weeks until my travel goes on to Colombia.

Much love Johannes

Happy New Surf!

Good Rutsch!

Hey you outta there in the european fridge,
I was not posting any stuff for weeks and so my bad conciousness moved me behind the laptop, typing some lines. Last night I saw my favourite movie "Into the wild" and I liked it when the protagonist wrote in his book: "Happiness only real when shared." So I thougt of sharing my happiness with you, and want to let u know that I am fine here in Mancora kissing the breast of nature and I hope everyone is well. I have to say, that I miss a lot of people sometimes arround me, but then I remember how fast time is running (so soon I will be back). I write down my next info in Ecuador, where I will start to work in a hostal at the beginning of January. Much love from me kisses and free hugs to everyone.
Euer Johannes

Slack the line!

Me and my slackline!

Impression Reel

Hola amigos,
I am back to write some words. I almost forgot the internet, because of the "Magic Pacific Ocean" here in Mancora. The video contains some impressions of the last weeks in Peru. Anyway the time of "agressive chilling" is over on thursday I am heading to Lima, where I will fly to Iquitos to start my main-project SACHAMAMA.

Heaps of good energy for all of you!

First stop Mancora Beach!

Hey fellas,
the very first step of my adventure is done. I arrived after two days in airplaines and buses at the little paradise, called Mancora. It is a small town in the north of Peru and very famous for its surfspots and the best kite surfing school in this area. I am here with two friends from Germany and we are searching the waves, "slacklining between palmtrees" and "viva la vida". I just can say it is the perfect place to prepare me for my film project in Iquitos in November.

much love!

Johannes
