The Alien Experience
„Táticas Para Convencer Uma Garota De Que Voce Veio De Outro Planeta“
…is probably one of the longest movie titles I have ever heard of, yet it is the name of a short movie. The 10min and 44seconds pass rapidly – still they tell a whole story that at its best fascinates you but at least keeps your attention to it until the end. „Táticas“ as we want to call it simply, has become a very nice piece of curitiban cinematography produced by my highly respected friends from the Asteroide Films Studio. I am very thankful for being able to work with them on this movie and I wish them all the best for their future productions!

Lahore & more
Well I had to bother Patrick another 4 days in Dubai and I was condemned to argue with the rather unfriendly Qatar Airways hotline and pay fees after fees and eventually a new flight. I got a fligth from Mumbai to Germany in order to show as my „return ticket“. The second time I went to the airport I smiled at everybody broadly and showed all the patience of the world because I had already learned that even though I purchased the ticket, I was the one who wanted something from them and so I would have to get my best slime going just as they were used to it… They let me in and I even got them to take the bike without paying extra (they tryed hard!) Five and a half hours later I was warmly welcomed in Lahore, Pakistan. „Lahore & more“ weiterlesen
Never travel with Qatar Airways!
After returning from Brazil my dear friend Patrick recieved me in his appartment in Dubai again. I had left my bike with him and the stuff I wouldn’t need in the mean time.The flight to Lahore was already booked and I knew that I would only have a few days in the city. I used that time to edit the two videos I had prepared in Curitiba about the Permaculture farmers and the Biker’s Club. Then it was time to pack my stuff and leave. Patrick brought me to the airport and we said goodbye. The guys at the security check looked a little puzzled when they saw me come with my bike fully packed, I had to answer all sorts of questions before they let me pass. When I reached the Check-in desk I was given a look as if I was a terrorist. „This Bicycle is not going anywhere!“ – said the hysterical lady who was probably in charge at that night. „Never travel with Qatar Airways!“ weiterlesen
Iranian Haircut
Khoy was the first city we reached in Iran. In the streets we met a nice old man who guided us around town. After literally taking a bath in the toilet of a restaurant I felt like having my hair cut. The old man joined me to the next barbershop where I was given a thourough treatment for an hour or so. The guy made it an happening… However, I put the GoPro up and had it taking pics every 10 seconds. This is the outcome.
