Life-changing times

My experiences

Within the last weeks I discovered so many things. I got confronted with situations and problems I never thought about. I got into a complete new culture. A different world. I made the step out of home and my comfort zone. Every day I experienced something new and different. Every day I felt new and unknown feelings.

Since 16th September I got to know the Taiwanese kindness, the beautiful nature and the excellent food. I met and talked to so many people from all different nations. I started a job and carry full responsibility for the things I do. I learned how to plan a tour and guide it. I gained skills in writing and made experiences in journalism. Now I know what it means to have a full time job and still do all the things that have to be done in addition.

I also experienced getting homesick and being at a low point, completely unhappy and unsatisfied with my situation. But as well, standing up again. Making changes. Getting the situation and my life into the right shape.

Furthermore gained knowledge about writing and local culture: Taoism, Taiwanese history (especially the 228 incident), values, Japanese and Chinese influences, architecture style, traditions and the Taiwanese way of thinking.

And now I got to a point where I can say that I got used to the life here and got along with all the new circumstances.

Especially my girlfriend, my family and my best friend give me strength and grip to carry on. Thank you for all your support!

I am still curious about what is the next part of my journey. Which experiences will I face and how will this change my point of view?

You all read my stories and I really like to share these with you. I hope you enjoy them and I can give you a little view of my life in Taiwan.

All in all I enjoyed my time until now and I am enjoying every day.

Blogging is about...

Sun Moon Lake Sunrise Hey and hello! I arrived in Germany about two months ago and had a lot of work and organisation to do. But by now I have enough spare time to share all the stories and pictures from the last three months. For me blogging is something like a diary. Moreover it is a way to share my thoughts and moments with you and anyone who wants to read them, I like the freedom of doing this and I really want to catch up writing again. I will try to give an update every week. A few photos and a relating story. Furthermore the stories will have certain labels, where you can find them. Additional there will be other labels for different locations. Example: "story, Asia" or "story, Germany". I hope you are looking forward to this project with the same thrill of anticipation as I do. See you next week! Lukas

Why a day in Manila will change you. #story

It feels very weird to start writing again. I had an amazing time and met dozens of people. Sharing all these wonderful and terrifying moments is a pleasure for me. So, I guess this blog is not finished by now. I guess it will not finish at all because I like writing and keeping my English on a good level. I love sharing experiences and stories. This is not only for you, but for me as well. When I am writing I reflect and remember everything, I hear the waves and feel the sand slowly floating away below my feet. I can escape Germany for a few moments and get back into this time meet the people again and relive the certain feelings that I had. The future and meaning of this blog is taking you with me into this wide world and see what I saw. My intention is giving you a moment of silence, escape and distraction in a business world, which is mostly controlled by money and effort and not by feelings and emotions. Enjoy :) Manila: I left the rai...
