What can you do with an old car that struggles to meet your county’s rules?
I have driven many cars over the years, but none has brought me as far as this Goldie. Together, we have been all across Europe, as far as the North Cape. But now, after more than a decade of exploration, Goldie struggles to meet Swiss safety regulations. It still runs fine – it is just a bit old. Time has come to find a new home, where this lovely car can have a second life and continue to roll on. Therefore, we took it on a last road trip to Georgia. Here’s what happens when you embark on a two-month export trip to the end of Europe.
What’s so Great about Britain? And what’s the best way to drive the United Kingdom?
Driving Great Britain, all the way to the Scottish Highlights and back, why would anybody do that? Well, first and foremost because such a long-distance journey is a lot more fun than just sticking around in one place. Nearly a decade after my last visit to the UK, I finally returned together with my beloved Panda (yes, that's my girlfriend). It was much more than just an epic road trip, it was a Great tour around the British Isles.
From top to bottom, South Korea is packed with culture and creativity
Not many people were able to visit both Korean Nations. To be honest, I was always more interested in North Korea.

However, this order made it very difficult to keep my Swiss neutrality. I was biased and just had to compare the two Korean countries.
Design thinking workshop in the most isolated country on planet earth
The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) was founded in 1948 after World War II. Since then, the regime desperately tried to keep the socialist dream alive. Instead of prosperity, this led to extreme isolation. It is hard to get in and even more difficult to get out. I found a unique opportunity to visit North Korea and even hold a workshop.
