At the age of 15 he hitchhiked alone 2000 miles to the coast of southern France and discovered the thrill of traveling.

After his professional studies, he held leadership positions in several jobs and in between he traveled. Over the years he developed a passion for long distance trekking and expeditions.

In 2005 he left Switzerland and traveled Turkey, Middle East and Africa, in the footsteps of Oriental and African explorer J.L. Burckhardt (1784-1817).

18 months on the road, 5000 km on foot with pack animals -- horse, camels and mules in Turkey, Jordan, Ethiopia and Namibia. This challenging adventure has left a lasting impression on him. More about Nomad Being
