A couple of weeks ago my third book was published. It’s the second one I wrote for the German publisher Iwanowski and it’s called “101 Kanada Westen - Geheimtipps und Top Ziele”. It is a travel guide, but not a traditional one describing routes and “hard facts” - it highlights extraordinary experiences and the stories behind them.
Anyway - it was a lot of work to write it, but I loved every minute of it. Needless to say I’m pretty stoked about it and I carry one of my author’s copies around with me at all times…
And sometimes, when I show people, they say: “Wow, that is a *real* book”. You know, like they were expecting something home-made. Like when I tell them that I wrote a book, they think I sat down and started drawing something…

We’re on our way to Vegas and that means my 2013 Self-Portrait Project has begun.
For every day during our 11-day trip I will take one or two duckface pictures and some other selfies, whenever the mood strikes (no, not those kind - believe me, you could not handle it).
