My name is Sven and I’m originally from Germany. When I’m not traveling I work as a Freelancer in the agile IT area, bringing the two worlds of Business and Software Development together.
Beside my enthusiasms and optimism, I love to learn and explore. So in my spare time I travel around the world to meet inspiring people at interesting places. Which inspire me to ‘Think out of the box’. Seeing things from different perspectives helps me to learn more and to inspire others.
In 2006/07 I did my first longer travel trip (see old Blog here) which was an amazing experience and ever since my return in 2007 it was a dream to do another “mini-retirement” again in some years and on the 30th November 2012 it is finally time to start the next journey.
In 2010 I did my first surf course on the West Coast of Australia and ever since then I love this sport. It learns you to stay humbled, you are connected with the nature and you meet great people on the beach. Awesome! So surfing will be a big part of the journey 🙂
Sven Around The World

There will be bright future and perfect waves on your trip.
Hope we can meet again dude.
