[Jochen108]

Welcome Jochen108 and thanks for sharing your story. Sounds like you travelled a lot so I'd love to hear something about that

Thanks, Sunnysideup (inspiring user name by the way!). I more or less lived a nomadic livestyle for most of the time.

When I was about 8 I assumed that my parents (although I love them very much and they both are great teachers in their own way!) must have adopted me. 'They couldn't be my real parents' I thought. So I packed my bag and was ready to leave, when my mother met me in front of the wardrobe, asking "Where do you want to go?". "Well I am leaving, it's time to go." She convinced me to stay for ten more years

When in school I was fortunate to have a French exchange partner who had to repeat the class so I could go twice and managed to go a third time; from then on I became pretty francophil for some time and spent whatever free time I had in France (Feyzin/Lyon, Paris, Bordeaux, Côte d'Azur) and Switzerland (Montreux, Nyon, Alpes). At some point (with about 16 yrs) I included playing guitar on the streets, which allowed for longer travels and meeting great people.

After I had moved out first time to the bigger regional city where I could continue advanced French classes, I moved to Hamburg, the very north of Germany, opposite to where I was born, in the south, about 70km above the Lake Constance. During the time in Hamburg, I gained what I would call, with the knowledge of today, the first conscious access to the magical personality (at least in this incarnation).

Over the course of those and the following years my life developed into a hybrid of continued changes in location either by regularly moving to different areas or plain travelling.

When the Rainbow gathering in Greece 1997 was approaching I became completely nomadic for about one year. I gave up my flat, got myself a small tipi and moved into a tipi camp in Germany from where a great and long travel, by train, bike, car, ferry, van, foot and plane led me first to another temporary Rainbow village in Austria, the European Gathering on Pairo Mountain, to Israel, weeks at the Lake Kinneret, Jerusalem, then together with a beautiful spiritual seeker to another Rainbow family gathering in the stone desert and further on to Eilat, Sinai, Mount Moses and Cairo including the Pyramids and back to Germany.

During this space/time-time/space, and often through the support of very positive, freely giving great souls, I was able to get in contact with my spirit guides, read channelled material for the first time (Pleiades), receive a Reiki initiation, meet channellers, learn other musical instruments, study the Advahuta Gita, "sing" the Koran and see the Pyramids.

It was a great spiritual journey. To follow up with "regular" educational and vocational biographies became increasingly impossible after that although I made several attempts and some of them were successful.

Let me list the places I've lived, visited regularly or stayed longer after that and if any of you has a connection to one of them, please let me know: my birth area Laupheim, Biberach/Riss, Rot an der Rot and Ulm, Heidelberg, Jandelsbrunn (Lower Bavaria, Narasimha-Temple, organic farm), Vienna (Center for Vedic Studies, East of Eden Tempelshop), Durbuy (Belgium, Radha-Krishna-Temple), Cologne, Mechernich, Marburg, Weilburg/Lahn, Lüdenscheid, Bad Homburg, Bochum and Bielefeld.

I lived in approximately as many flats/locations as I have years right now which is 38. Time to relax a litlle bit.

In 2001 I went to India for about a month, together with an international bhakti-yoga group. We went to Vrindavana, visited some of the many temples in worship of Krishna, Govardhana Hill and Radha Kunda, then went on to the fascinating Jagannatha temple in Puri and finally to the Ganges Delta in Westbengal. To describe it in detail requires a new post.

It, again, was a fascinating pilgrimage/spiritual journey.

But many people have travelled a lot more, to many more places of this wonderful planet. Today I tend to stay a litlle longer and accumulate the energy that is spent by being constantly on the road. "You don't have to travel around the world to understand that the sky is blue everywhere." the old Goethe said. I have more or less switched to "inner travel" and only move when it is necessary. What I try to maintain is to keep my essential belongings limited to what could fit into a car.

I don't want to appear as someone who likes to talk or in this case write about himself. To reflect my own Wanderer's story in writing, with the perspective of today and together with you, is a great way of reviewing this incarnation though and I am very thankful for the opportunity.

If you or any other reader would like to question in more detail or privately, don't hesitate

Love and Light

Jochen
