14 Min.It’s off to a good start: sunburn, heat stroke, insect bites. Broken leg, dehydration, diarrhoea. Ida Vincent of Biosphere Expeditions initiates nearly a dozen dedicated conservationists from Germany, Austria, Italy, the US and Australia into the hazards of the Sumatran jungle.

3 Min.I wouldn’t have dreamed of it a few years ago either: me in the newspaper BILD: “Barren gorges alternating with densely overgrown rainforests. Low-hanging clouds make the shots seem mystical.”
< 1 Min.I can’t say it any other way: this was the most awesome thing I’ve ever done: The five-day expedition through one of the largest caves in the world in Vietnam. I couldn’t forget the amazement and sweating.
< 1 Min.Sixty people from all over the world, including me, learn the fascinating effects of breathing, body exercises and ice baths in 5 days. Highlight: We boot up the Sniezka in shorts. My video summarises the experience.
8 Min.I hesitated for a long time whether I should write about this experience. For one and a half years. Until today.
< 1 Min.Borneo – what a paradise for nature photographers! Borneo’s jungle has a big biological diversity. What fascinates me most – besides orangutans and proboscis monkeys – is the variety of insects, which I got vividly close to with my new macro lens.
< 1 Min.Burma, Burma, again and again. We start in our heartland. New territory for us is Malaysia. And Singapore! From there, we’re heading to the rainforests of Borneo – with an interlude in the Sultanate of Brunei. And then we discover our great love for very small creatures!
30 Min.Ancient royal cities, endless sandy beaches, luxuriant flowers and exotic animals – the name Sri Lanka justifiably means “shining land”. The island in the Indian Ocean was our dream destination. I spent five months in Sri Lanka with my wife Annette and our daughters Amelie and Smilla.
17 Min.Ancient royal cities, endless sandy beaches, lush blossoms and exotic animals – the name Sri Lanka rightly means “radiant shining land”. The island in the Indian Ocean was our dream destination. I spent five months in Sri Lanka with my wife Annette and our daughters Amelie and Smilla. A family adventure full of intense impressions.
< 1 Min.The Veddas are the indigenous people of Sri Lanka. Only a few still live very originally on the edge of a national park, far away from electricity and running water. For five days I take part in the life of the Veddas.
