(Scroll down for German) Hi everyone, I am Anais, wandering our earth for 25 years now. On the first view, I am a regular resident of the German town of Paderborn, working in Marketing for a medium-sized company while doing #yoga, running and experimenting with #rawfood in my spare time. Things that make me smile are oddly shaped clouds, all kind of fruits, word plays, honesty and board games. Things that don’t are the smell of cooked Brussels sprouts, pessimism, winter as much as a cold summer, environmental destruction.
I always thought that building a business career in a big company would be my life’s direction. Until a few years back when I started questioning everything. It started rather harmlessly with my #foodchoices and how we impact the environment, but soon I challenged my entire belief system from #consumerism to #spirituality. Although I have already changed a fare amount in my lifestyle till then, I now decided to take an even bigger step to a new way of living.
And now here I am: A few weeks ago, I’ve quit my job to travel the world for an undefined time together with my boyfriend Johann. This adventure begins in January 2018 and right now I am selling all my belongings in exchange for a carry-on bag that will (hopefully) fit everything I need for a life as a traveller – which is less than you might think. My journey will give me the chance to focus on my #passions instead of working long hours day in and day out in a job that is not aligned with my true purpose in life.
I am sacrificing a great position of security and comfort for the huge unknown - and surprisingly I don’t have any doubts about my decision, instead just the certain feeling that everything will turn out awesome if I keep following my instinct. I’m looking forward to meeting a lot of other life adventurers via Steemit that share my excitement for certain topics and aren’t afraid to take the unconventional, less travelled path. On Steemit I’d like to get involved, inspire, and discuss - for example about how to...
- Expand your horizon with world travels
- Dive into a world of less stuff and more moments
- Explore the powers of raw foods and #plantbased eating
- Thrive with natural and #healthy #habits
- Live mindfully for a Buddha-like smile
- Become an adventurer and experience life at its fullest
I am curious to embark on this journey, with the community as my companion. Let’s shape the future together!

Hallo zusammen, ich bin Anais, seit 25 Jahren bereits auf unserer Erde. Auf dem ersten Blick bin ich eine ganz gewöhnliche Einwohnerin der deutschen Stadt Paderborn, arbeite im Marketing einer Mittelstandsfirma, während ich in meiner Freizeit gerne Yoga mache, laufen gehe und mit #Rohkost experimentiere. Dinge die mich zum Lächeln bringen sind eigenartig geformte Wolken, sämtliche Früchte, Wortspiele, Ehrlichkeit und Gesellschaftsspiele. Dinge die es nicht tun sind der Geruch von gekochtem Rosenkohl, Pessimismus, Winter genauso wie kalte Sommer, Umweltzerstörung.
Ich war mir schon immer sicher, dass eine tolle Geschäftskarriere in einer großen Firma der richtige Weg für mein Leben ist. Bis vor ein paar Jahren, als ich anfing alles zu hinterfragen. Es begann noch recht harmlos mit meiner Ernährung und wie wir unsere Umwelt beeinflussen, bis ich dann mein gesamtes Glaubenssystem herausforderte - vom #Konsumverhalten bis zur Spiritualität .
Und hier bin ich nun: Vor ein paar Wochen habe ich meinen Job gekündigt, um mit meinem Freund Johann für unbestimmte Zeit die Welt zu bereisen. Dieses Abenteuer beginnt im Januar 2018, sodass ich zurzeit all meine Habseligkeiten gegen einen Handgepäckrucksack eintausche, in den (hoffentlich) alles reinpasst, was ich zum Leben auf Reisen benötige, was wiederum sehr viel weniger ist als du denken magst. Meine Reise gibt mir die Chance mich ganz auf meine #Leidenschaften zu konzentrieren, anstatt Tag ein Tag aus in einem Job zu arbeiten, der nicht mit meinem wahren Ziel im Leben im Einklang steht.
Ich gebe eine Position voller Sicherheit und Komfort für das große Ungewisse auf und habe erstaunlicherweise keinerlei Zweifel an meiner Entscheidung, sondern nur das sichere Gefühl, dass es großartig werden wird, solange ich meinem Instinkt folge. Ich freue mich schon darauf, viele andere Abenteurer über Steemit zu treffen, die meine Begeisterung für bestimmte Themen teilen und keine Scheu davor haben, den unkonventionellen, weniger ausgetretenen Pfad zu nehmen. Auf Steemit möchte ich mich involvieren, inspirieren, diskutieren - zum Beispiel darüber wie man...
- seinen Horizont mit Reisen erweitert
- in eine Welt mit weniger Zeug und mehr Momenten eintaucht
- die Power der Rohkost und pflanzlicher Ernährung erkundet
- sein bestes Ich mit natürlichen und gesunden Gewohnheiten findet
- achtsam lebt, für das eigene Buddha-Lächeln
- ein Abenteurer wird und das Leben in vollen Zügen entdeckt
Ich bin schon super gespannt auf dieses Erlebnis, mit der Steemit-Community als mein Begleiter. Lasst uns heute die Zukunft mitgestalten!

Thank you, I can totally relate to that! Normally I am this person that makes even plans for plans, but since I started letting go and encouraging the spontaneous side in myself, I was always blessed with surprising encounters :)

Great post! Welcome to the community. My husband and I just came back from few years of travel. Did what you did, gave away our stuff just two boxes left put it in parents garage. And as amazing as it was to travel and encounter new things every day, I also love being back and starting life fresh, with all these zillion of opportunities in front of us. As long as you can make your life in such a way that you have to keep on reinventing yourself - you'll be among the richest people alive :). All luck during this time of preparation and planning. Definitely giving you a follow!!

Thank you! So true, although I love to start this adventure and see a lot of different places, I believe that with the right mindset living in any place (even our good old home town) can be full of surprises. Still, I can imagine that going back and settling again after years of travel can be quite challenging, seeing the "old life" from a totally different perspective now. I wish you all the best with your transition :)

Dear Anais, I can totally relate to your post!! We are in thr same boat :) I've just started steemit, too, I follow a plant based lifestyle (not fully raw yet) and I've just quit our secure family business in Hungary in order to fulfill my dreams, travel, find myself and so on. I've always loved travelling and I've been to many places already but I always needed to return to my hometown to work in the family business. I was completely unhappy there and finally I decided to tell my my family that I wanna be free and build my own life. This is what I'm doing now :) I came for a holiday to Mexico in February and I fell.in love with it so I ended up staying here for a while :D
Welcome to Steemot and I can't wait tonsee your future posts!!!
Sending you hugs and lots of energy :)

Wow, it is great to hear that you are now following your dream and had the courage decide what is best for your own hapiness :) Yes, I definitely see the resemblance to my story :D I am always excited to meet fellow plant-based foodies, since it does not yet happens often enough for my taste ;-) I will keep following you and hope to get some advice for exploring Mexico!

Thank you for your kind words! I believe that our instinct tells us a lot and we should more often just go with it, instead of overthinking any decision rationally ;)
