Join me on a journey through the world of tech and fitness. Expect tech insights, personal reflections, and plenty of running, cycling, and calisthenics. Oh, and don't forget the sauna recovery!
One year of weekly blogging turned into 104 posts.
From bike adventures and trail runs to sauna sessions and personal growth, 2025 was a year of writing and reflection.

I just published a recap on “The Digital Sweat Lodge.”

Happy Runners after the Tegernsee Lauf 2025 - looks foggy on the image, but large parts have been beautifully sunny. Epic views of Lake Tegernsee, cheering crowds, plus I followed up with #sauna at Monte Mare Tegernsee - epic is what describes it best. #running #bavaria

My dad used to have to change money and get checked at the border just to visit France. Now? I just bike across the Alps. It's a small thing, but it's a big deal. New blog post on why I'm feeling more European than ever, thanks to the EU.
