Endurance sports, specifically jogging, is an integral part to my self-assessment processes and thinking things thoroughly through. The more devastating hence my broken fibula late 2017 and the then diagnosis to never be able to jog again. But that has luckily changed.
Hambacher Forst, called ‘Hambi’ by many, is a 200 hectare-forest turned into the symbol of resistance of the anti-coal-fired power generation in Germany.

Because nothing has really changed to what it was when being there previously. So let’s check the place based on current political and social issues being talked about everywhere….
Again I went to Kenya. The idea was to check current ongoing and the status of a couple of projects me running there.

This time I did not win a ticket in the lottery of limited access and had to be content with a Sunday ticket, which is openly available for each and everybody onsite only. Just have to be here Sunday early morning, before the craze of all Sunday attendees starts….
