Since I left Germany and traveled through Africa, my life has changed fundamentally. I’ve totally arrived at myself – and I can keep it. Even if life continues with all its facets on the outside. And it does, even here in the Cape. But I don’t get upset about anything anymore, I’ve come to rest, […]
Have you often heard that you have to leave your comfort zone to really live? I felt the same way for years. But a recent conversation has completely changed my perspective. A friend told me: “Conny, I’ve built up my comfort zone and I’m satisfied. A few things aren’t perfect, but they’re not serious enough […]
The initial euphoria has evaporated. Traveling, living out of two suitcases and living in cheap Airbnbs loses a little of its romance. I’ve settled into my everyday life, which doesn’t necessarily look that different from Germany. Work, post, win clients, coach, pay bills… None of that has changed. Since 16.4. I’m back in Cape Town […]
Mind games after 4 months: What can Isaya do in Southern Africa? I came to Africa with an idea: I wanted to support women in less privileged countries to find a better future through education. Now I’ve been on the road since January 2nd, got to know many people, had many conversations and processed many […]
Great experiences bring deep insights. That’s how I always felt when I came back from a challenging adventure tour.

We – four volunteers and three Namibians – carried stones every day, mixed cement, slept on the floor in the dirt and sweated […]
My friend Yvonne had pancreatic cancer. We’ve known each other for 38 years and she used to be the one who consistently did HER THING. I learned a lot from her concerning: “I make sure I’m doing well.” Travelling, that was both of our thing. We had already planned a trip around the world when […]
My friend Sabine has pancreatic cancer. We’ve known each other for 38 years, and she used to be the one who consistently did HER STUFF. I learned a lot from her concerning: “I make sure I’m doing well.” Traveling was both of our thing. We had already planned a trip around the world when we […]
There has already been a lot of talk about the book “Isaya’s Eyes”. Also about what should be done with the donations: Women should be brought into their strength to enable themselves to have a better life. To this end, I have been touring South Africa since January 2024 and am getting an impression of […]
I wait for the TK 45 – call to Istanbul and review the last few days. Because in these last few days, a surprising amount went wrong: Overnight I left my handbag with wallet, passport, mobile phone and everything else that is important in the car on the passenger side. In the morning, the mega […]
