My story as an environmentalist really started with travel.

It exposed me to the environmental degradation of our planet and sparked a growing sense of discomfort. I sat down with my parents to talk about changing my life. I felt a desire to go to Africa. I was scared - I had no idea how to start, what to do, how long to go for. My dad said “why don’t you just go?”. I felt an indescribable feeling of liberation by his words. It was the last real conversation I had with my dad before he passed away two months later. I decided to follow his advice. I packed up my life in Germany, travelled through Southern Africa and ended up in Cape Town. All of my work is centred around one mission - to help people reconnect with nature, both personally and in their business practices.
