Travel Journals
My name is Bernhard Sams, and these are my journeys!
Read reports of my ventures in a journaling style.You will find texts, pictures and sometime videos. Since I use these travels to gain a deeper insight into the connection with nature, the more scientific and philosophical reflection upon my travelexperiences you will find in my blog entries under the different headings: Connecting via Science, Connecting via Art, Connecting via Experiences, Connecting via Philosophy. My philosophical and scientific reflections and ideas shape my journeys and my journeys shape my philosophical and scientific insights. So life is a journey and a good journey is a whole life!

A Year in Asia!
In April 2024 I headed first to Nepal to start my two Year Journey around the world.
Ethopia

After all my travels to the mountains, the jungles and the oceans of Asia it was time to change the continent and to experience another kind of culture, landscape and nature. Afrika was always a mystical place for me - the fantasy of my childhood days. The origin of mankind and the home of enourmous herds of animals, the home of lions and leopards, rhinos and elephants - the epitome of what wildness and pure nature once meant. Reality of course is different today. Wilderness has become a commodity and is mostly tamed and spoiled by masses of tourists. Having been in Aftrica multiple times I am excited but also afraid about what lies ahead of me.
