      "body": "Today I am writing on behalf of a friend. Or rather I am sharing an experience which I had during my trip recently. This is not a new story I already have written about this issues a year an half ago and sent it to some Australian papers and asked them to publish it, yet none of them has ever gotten back to me …. but maybe because I am “nothing” but a traveller, a foreigner whose native language is not even English while the words I had written down back than were against some Australian biggest companies? But that´s fine. I don´t need any newspaper to get there where I want to be, today I am publishing this letter here and everywhere where I could get an access to as long as this lines reach those ears which are responsible for such a misbehaviour …. \nI am writing about Australia´s largest Airline “Qantas” and the way they treat their customer specially those in need of extra care …. \n\nA brashness called #Qantas\n\nI will start this letter with some words about my friend; \nHe is one of the most amazing and loving people I have ever met. Despite of his “hard” destiny and his limited life in a wheelchair he tries his best to be there for everybody, to help whomever and wherever he can, to treat everybody fairly and to manage his life by himself. He is patient, grateful and treats every single body with care and respect. I rarely have seen him getting angry or judging anybody. If he would do so – as we all do sometimes – he would apologise straight away, think about his words and change his attitude. Every where he goes he spreads love and joy but unfortunately not everybody has the heart to feel this love and joy. \nHe doesn´t ask for extra attention or extra care, all he would ever ask for is to have been treated like everybody else …. with respect! \nWhen people look at him, they see a simple man sitting in a wheelchair. This sight is enough to give them heaps of judgement about his person. What they don´t know is, that this “simple” guy sitting in a wheelchair has a long story behind himself …. what most of the people sadly forget, is, that this could be their own story one day. The distance between a person “outside” a wheelchair and an other one “inside” a wheelchair is only an accident, which can happen to any of us at any time …. \n\ndespite of his fate and his accident 31 years ago which caused his life to be “a bit” more limited than before, he´s got the soul of a lion. He´s been fighting for his life, not only once but over and over …. like most of the successful people also he has started very small. Although the circumstances in his life haven´t made his journey easy for him but his spirit of fighting has never given up. He is an example for this world full of depression and sadness, that one is never a victim of his destiny but its cocreator …. \nAfter his accident years ago his entire life has changed dramatically from being a young free soul travelling and discovering the world to being a free soul or rather an angel imprisoned in a physical body …. he had to find a new way to live and had lots of choices how to move on with his life: “most of my friends with whom I was at the clinic – we all were sharing a similar fate, we all were in the #wheelchair – committed suicide. I don´t understand how people could do that? Life is a gift. Life is beautiful despite of all its difficulties. But I look at them as learning lessons, I learn what I need to learn and move on. ” he told me one day. To be honest? I can understand why those people committed suicide and still do! Above all those “ways” he could choose to live his new life, the one he has chosen was the most difficult one. Only God knows how difficult.\nHe had to give up lots of his hobbies and things he used to do before his accident but ones he didn´t want to give up: his desire to travel and discover new places. If that was always easy for him …. \nHe was very young as his life has changed, way too young. Just at the beginning of the discovery journey in his life. He packed all of his stuff in a camper and decided to build himself a new life far away from where he was born. He didn´t have much money nor any certain plans what would be but he had an aim: to make the best out of his new life ….\nToday, 31 years after his accident, he is the owner of a 4,5 stars resort – maybe the most beautiful one in his town – which he designed, built and manages by himself! Apart of that, he is the business partner in a financial company and an oyster farm. He is a very smart, successful and happy man who lives a solid life and has deserved lots of respect not because he is a businessman but because he is a human being and because he has managed something which most of the people with a fully functional physical body struggle to manage: he won the battle of life and made his life and the life of those around him to a better one. \nHis legs might not function but his brain is fully in function. His brain works much better than most of the brains around him! If he doesn´t say anything not because he doesn´t understand what´s going on but because he is generous. This was only a “side” information. Cause the condition of his brain and his role as a businessman do not even matter for this story! Even if he would suffer a brain injury or mental disease, even if he was a homeless person NOTHING in this World would give a human being – as far as I could use the word “human being” for such people – the right to treat an other human being the way Qantas and Co. treat my friend and I am sure my friend is not the only person in need of special care who has been treated that way. Today I decided to write and publish about this disaster because this has to be stopped. Because I am sick. I am sick of a world full of hatred, judgement, ignorance and arrogance. And because things start to change once they have been brought up into the public.   \n\nFirst of all … this disaster, which I will write about, is not only about Qantas. I could write a letter to Telstra about their careless behaviour regarding the issues my friend has with his Internet connection, over and over. Even though we keep calling, spending hours and hours at waiting line  and explaining them that an Internet connection and the access to his E-mail are very important for his work, even though he transfers monthly over hundreds and hundreds of dollars into Telstra´s bank account, Telstra seems to be incapable to fix the problem. Everyday a new problem and a new issue with the internet connection. I could also write a letter to the Taxi companies about their reckless behaviour to let my friend wait over and over sometimes for hours, even than when he preorders a Taxi in advance to be on time for his important appointments. Why they do that? Not because they are too busy or because of the big traffic jam. There is no traffic jam in this tiny village we live in, doesn´t matter where you are and where you head to, it will only take you ten minutes to get from A to B. why does a person have to wait for a taxi for over an hour in such a tiny town? The answer has been given to me kindly from one of the friendly taxi drivers: “He uses a voucher and gets discount while a regular customer pays the full price. He is depended on this accessible taxi while other customers could use an other taxi. So, I better pick up the other customers first to make my money. He doesn´t have any other choice except of waiting for me. He cannot run a way!”. I will better pass on a comment to this answer. I just wonder where the humility has gone in this “busy” world of making money?  \nAfter that I could write a letter to those people who have been paid to CARE of him, those who carry the word “care” in their title; to his carers. To those who cheat on him, steal from him, misuse and abuse his trust and his loving heart, do the minimum from what they need to do, cause he cannot walk around and double check everything, smile a fake smile in his face as long as he pays for their food, drinks, accommodations and their fun, but cheat on him, steal from him and lie to him, as soon as he turns his back. And above all, they do not really care about him …. “what is the job of a CARER? Not to care? Where is the human race heading to? To the hell?”.\n \nyes! I could write many letters to many people who do not treat my friend and other people who share a similar fate with my friend the way they deserve it; with respect. And some other letters to those who are disable to do their job which they have been paid for. But the wheel of the fortune has chosen Qantas as the target for this letter. Because what Qantas did recently is above all this disrespectful and reckless behaviour of those other people. There is no other words to describe Qantas recent behaviour or rather misbehaviour than #discrimination. While there is a little narrow way to try to excuse others reckless and disrespectful behaviour, such as “they might not have been thoughtful enough”, there is no way to excuse discrimination!!!\n\nMy friend didn´t want me to share this story. His eyes see only the “beauty” in other people: “[...] but our recent experience with Jetstar was very positive. Jetstar is owned by Qantas.” he said. Yes. This is true. Our recent experience with Jetstar was amazing. The best travel experience we have had so far. They looked after us like angels. We didn´t have to be worried about anything. They were all around us and took care of everything. Never have we had such smooth and easy trip before as we recently had with the low-cost airline Jetstar. And we were and still are very thankful for their amazing job and their care. No doubt about that.\nWe also had some very positive experiences with some of the Qantas staff, whom we are very grateful for. The cabin crew has mostly been caring and friendly. But their kindness and care do not undo the big issues we have had with Qantas itself, over and over. This words are not referred to Qantas staff and personal. They haven´t done anything wrong they have always tried their “best”. This words are referred to those who sit on top of the “hill”, those who manage and organise this company. To those on the power!\n\nwell, the story about Qantas misbehaviour is a very long story. It would fill up a book if I would start to write about the whole story. But I will give you some ideas of what I am talking about today.... \nAs I already mentioned my friend loves to travel. This is his right! He himself pays for his trips and no body else, so like everybody else on this planet so does he have the right to travel. But even that, even going on holiday to have a break and rest from his busy life has to be a struggle not just due to the incapability of some Airlines staff. This letter has been referred to Qantas, as he travels or used to travel mainly by Qantas. He is a regular Qantas costumer who flies three to four times a year by Qantas and pays every time for three or four tickets. \n\nDuring one of his trips, they broke his leg. Some might disagree and say: “that was Jetstar” but Jetstar is only an other name for Qantas. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of Qantas. Jetstar is part of Qantas. They broke his leg simply because they did NOT listen to him, as he was trying hard to tell them to watch his leg and to take it away from the floor. They ignored him and kept pushing him on the push chair, while his leg was pushing on the ground. For a person with a spinal injury it takes a long time to recover from a broken leg. As if his life was not “difficult” enough sitting in a wheelchair, he had to wear a moon boot for months and months. This didn´t make his life necessary easier than usual …. He could have sued them, if he wasn´t busy enough to look after his staff, his businesses, his house, to manage his life and a million other things which belong to his life and if he would have enough time to spend on some stupid things, such as …. and even if he had the time, he would not do that. He is not the person who would sue anybody …. he believes in Karma. In a higher judge!!! \n \nDuring most of the trips they refuse to assist him, although he always asks for assistance when he books his flight. Once we are at the airport things look different. We get some “useless” people sent to us as “assistant”. That happens quite often: “Are you gonna get him into the push chair? I cannot lift him! My shoulder is painful.” asked me – while excusing himself – one of the friendly assistants recently, who was sent to get him from the airplane´s seat into the push chair. “if your health issues do not allow you to do your job, what is the use of you TWO guys being here? To look at a girl lifting a man into a push chair? If you cannot lift him, because your shoulder pains and I cannot lift him cause this is simply not my job, he might need to sit in the plane until somebody appears, who can lift him. I am not in any rush to get anywhere today. I already have arrived on my destination.” I said with my arms crossed over my chest and my legs on the seats. I didn´t say that cause I was rude or cause I didn´t want to help. I said that cause I was sick of doing other people´s jobs. It didn´t take long and a solution was found to get my friend into the push chair. The shoulder pains seemed to have left the friendly man, like a miracle. They were gone! Where to? We don´t know. Just gone …. this made me very thoughtful: “even a miracle needs a bit of time or extra help?!” I thought to myself …. \nIn our next flight they thought they would have found a solution for “painful shoulders” or rather useless personal? They offered us a lifter so that nobody had to lift my friend except of the lifter. But what is the use of a lifter while those who have been sent with the lifter are just as useless as a lifter with no battery? I am not sure about the uselessness of a lifter with no battery! This time we had two fancy girls as assistants. The story with this girls is hilarious: We couldn´t get straight into the plane as usual. They first opened up a long show, extra for us fortunate three, who were frizzing in the cold but didn´t have any other choice except of waiting there and watching their show: walking the floors in their high heels up and down, up and own whereby the most important part of this “cat walk” was to make as much noise as possible with their heels, letting their hairs fly in the wind of the airplanes outside, moving their sunglasses repeatedly from their nose up to their head and back, having “that look” over the glasses to let you know “we are very important people taking our time to assist you today.”, talking to their walkie talkies as if they were on a secret or maybe an impossible(?) mission, making A LOT unnecessary action around a very simple thing, namely “getting into the plane”. Scenes which reminded me to 007 movies, yet I wasn´t sure if that was making me laugh or cry …. \nAfter 45 minutes sitting in the cold, frizzing and watching their show we finally were allowed to get to the plane, if that was as simple …. in front of the airplane´s door we had to watch an other movie; a very sad movie about “two girls and one lifter”. About two fancy girls with their noses up to the sky yet as useless as a broken piece of wood. Well I am not sure about the uselessness of a broken piece of wood!!! This two girls who were sent with the lifter to operate it had NO CLUE how to do so! After an other 20 minutes waiting in the cold and watching their game of incapability I had to stop this show, as I realised how dangerous this game could end for my friend: it could cost him his life! You might think using a lifter, with only two bottoms to open and to close and two other bottoms to go up and to go down whereby all this bottoms have been marked with sings, could not be as difficult. Well I thought the same until I met this two hilarious Qantas staff! So I asked them to use the push chair. The friendly guy Paul from the luggage section who also was watching this show waiting to take the wheelchair into the luggage helped my friend to get into the wheelchair although that was not part of his duty. But he was human enough to help. Once we got into the plane the show moved on: “So, you girls are gonna put him into the seat?” asked me the fancy useless girl while giving me “that look” above her sunglasses. I tried hard to find the sun in the plane. I wondered what was the use of a pair of sunnies on a cloudy day in a plane!? But no chance. There was no sun to find neither in the plane nor outside of the plane. “Oh, no! You are gonna sit him into his seat. This is YOUR job not mine!” I responded. “well! I am not gonna touch him.” she said with her arms crossed her chest. And to be honest, I did not want her or the other useless girl to touch my friend. As I knew where that would lead to. “Just let us know if you need some help. We are here to help and assist.” she said while watching us doing HER job. “I know exactly how you could help me! Get out of my sight!”. This trip passed as well and we didn´t say anything …. but that was not the end of the disaster ….\nOn the way back, they damaged his shower chair. This all happened during one trip. You know how it´s after a long trip? All you dream of is a shower and a bed to lay down. But nope! I had to spend 40 extra minutes at the airport to make sure the shower chair was fixed, while he was sitting in the taxi exhausted and waiting. Who pays for the extra costs of the taxi? Not Qantas. But okay! At least they fixed it. \nDuring an other flight – that was Jetstar, the other name of Qantas – they told him that he was not allowed to go to the toilet during the flight as they couldn´t provide him with a push chair on the board. We told them that we had our own ways to manage this “business”. “Not in my plane.” said the friendly duty manager on board. Yet imagine you would fly over five hours by plane and they would tell you that you couldn´t take a pee during your flight. Does that make any sense? Where is the point of making other peoples life difficult?     \nLong story short. Travelling for him is always a struggle. Because people are not capable to do the job which they have been paid for. All this stories and more we have been experiencing are sad, but maybe still not sad enough to be published. But that what they brought up just recently is the cream on top of the ugly cake they backed us …. \n\nThat was few weeks ago …. he was travelling to see his family for few days over Christmas and have few weeks of holiday oversee afterwards. This trip had already started amazingly in the airplane at home …. we just got into the plane and were getting ourselves organised as I heard something: “BOOOM!”: The airplane started to shake! “That was your wheelchair.” I told him and I could see the end of this story. As we arrived in Perth and we collected the wheelchair we first realised how big the damages were. The wheelchair was so damaged that he could not drive it anymore …. one of the wheels was just about to fall out of the axle. Dangerous, very dangerous! It could cost him his life! Thankfully we had some very friendly and helpful staff around us who helped him to get safety into the taxi and one more time that was a job for me to make sure his wheelchair would be fixed before we would leave Perth 2 days later …. we were all very tired and exhausted and needed a rest urgently. I thought that would be an easy one to make a report and they would fix it as that was a very clear case to me: “Wheelchair fully in function before flight vs. wheelchair fully damaged after flight.”. But nope. It wasn´t as easy. I had to spend one hour at the customer service of Qantas at Perth Airport, talking to every single staff in Qantas from the lady behind the desk up to the duty manager, explaining to them that we could NOT wait until 4th of January for the wheelchair to be fixed as he would be flying oversee by this date and he would definitely need his wheelchair to fly with him. And apart of that, how would he be able to get around in the next 12 days without his wheelchair? He was going to visit his family for Christmas!!!! I have to be fair though, the lady behind the desk was a very helpful person or maybe I dind´t give her an other choice? I had to fight a big fight to get her to organise something. Otherwise they would have sent us to the hotel with no solution. But eventually after over an hour talking and talking and explaining and letting them know that I was not gonna leave the airport before I´d made sure the wheelchair would be fixed in the next two days, she found a way, God blessed her for that. She really tried her best to find a solution but there were not many options given to her from Qantas. This time I complained. I shared our poor experiences with Qantas with the duty manager. But this hasn´t changed anything, not even a bit. Things only got worst …. \nThe wheelchair had been fixed a day later but they could only fix the wheel a little bit to make it roll again. The wheelchair is still not safe enough to have been used. They said that due to the holidays that was the only thing they could do and they offered my friend to send them the wheelchair back for a big repair after his holiday. This means an addition of a lot more unnecessary troubles into my friends life! Qantas has to pay over thousands of Dollars – two or maybe three thousands – for this repair. This is a very important detail for that what is to come ….. \nFew weeks after this day he bought his tickets back home by Qantas. Two days before our flight Qantas gave him a call letting him know that our tickets have been cancelled. They refused to take us back home! They would take him into the plane, if that had to be but they would not take his wheelchair anymore. All of the sudden after years of travelling with Qantas – eight flight only in the last 3 months – the wheelchair would not fit into the plane, was their excuse. Aha …. \nNow I´ve got a big question in my mind: “How is a person whose life depends on a wheelchair able to fly home without his wheelchair? How would his life look like? Did you Qantas guys think about your words before they left your mouth? Or was that too difficult?”. Now I´d like to ask those of you who are a bit “taller” than average: “How would you feel if an airline would tell you that they would take you on the board but you had to leave your legs behind as they were to long for the airplane?”. Does that make any sense at all? I am familiar with the luggage policy of Qantas and I already know all about their standards, the measure and the size of the luggage and and and …. But I just wonder why a wheelchair which has always fitted into the Qantas aircrafts doesn´t want to fit into their planes anymore, all of the sudden? Maybe cause they already have damaged it once – well more than once –  and have to pay over thousands of dollars to fix it? Was this accident my friend´s fault? Was that his fault that your staff damaged his wheelchair? Is that the way to treat a regular customer? First to damage his wheelchair and than to refuse to take him back home? This I nothing but discrimination! This makes me very thoughtful. But just like my friend so do I believe in Karma and a higher judge!!!\n\nSo this letter was not written about Qantas as such. Qantas is only a name, which varies from situation to situation. This letter is referred to those an the “power” in general who instead of using their power, which has been given to them through “random” people, to help this “random” people, abuse and misuse their power to make the life of others more difficult and to take advantages of them. Where would Qantas be today, if “random” people would stop flying around? Ever wondered? Who does pay the wedges of Qantas staff? Surely not Qantas out of its packet!\n\nThis story is written down by a not native English speaking foreigner about the difficulties and life problems of a native Australian resident who works honestly, lives a financially independent life, pays million dollars of taxes yearly, helps the economy of his country and is in service of Australian people not least with his businesses.  But if there are no empty pages in any Australian newspapers to write and publish about his story because the pages have to be filled with useless information, this is just fine. I am sure I will find some empty pages somewhere on the social media on the Internet where I could find the right audience for this story …..  \n\n\n![DSC01283_1.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmNoyofPf6dotfwLhFsUBMJhMY1hMrx8GBSZg1CqTps1Nb/DSC01283_1.JPG)",

      "title": "a story about life; 3,5 years of travelling the world",
      "body": "Few months ago, for my 3th anniversary  of my long trip, I wrote an essay and shared it with some friends. Few days later I realised, that I didn´t write for anybody else than for myself: one more time life had brought a very big challenge into my life just as I was about to believe I was there, where I wanted to be ....\n\nAlthough this story was written by myself for myself, through sharing that with my friends I got lots of comments and feedback from those who read it, that this lines have helped them to realise something for their own lives. Today, after recovering from an other big challenge and realising that I was just about to give up everything I have been working through for such a long time, I decided to complete this story and share it with the world; this is a story about life ....\n\nto whom, who might read that ... \n\nOn April 29th 2014 I have started my big Trip around. I did not have a clue that was gonna turn into such a long trip. Planed were a two months trip on the east coast Australia´s and six weeks of travelling around south east Asia, specially Bali. I have paid lots of money to get everything organised exactly the way I thought I was gonna make this trip; well that was the first lesson I had to learn during this trip: Never plan too far for your life as life can change very quick ... \n\n![11 (4).JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmax2ZKUL5KpfkoXMW9EdBA3ykJtQJA6XkCj7LftkPvMLq/11%20(4).JPG)\n\nThe idea of this journey was born out of a very ugly situation, to say the least: \nI was in a separation, which had gone for 1,5 years off and on, we could neither with each other nor without! None of us could let it go. I had to …. \nThe relationship itself had been an other 5 years of going through the hell. But after 5 years of living together with a person with lots of personal problems I was so fragile, that I broke in thousand small pieces after breaking up. My life was based on; anorexia, depression, alcohol, cigarette, party and … I suffered in silent pretending to be fine and no one knew what was going on inside me … \nI was studying physics. I tried to concentrate on my study. I finished my final essay which caused me three more months of depression and going through the hell but I made it. I singed into my final exams and said to myself that that was gonna help me to get out of sadness. But it didn´t work out…. \non February 6th 2014 I had an oral exam, the last one before I was gonna be done with my study and get ready for the final exams. I learned a lot, but …. As I entered the room I could not talk. I am a very talk active person, but on this day I could not say a word as much as I tried! I failed ... \nI could not understand what was wrong with me, I had never failed through an exam and yet, that one was just an easy one! That brought more sadness, depression and alcohol into my life. I didn´t leave the house for days, I drunk and cried days and nights wondering why I did fail in my relationships as in my study. Nothing seemed to work out for me! Long story short …. \nI passed the exam 2 month later wit A+ but I decided to sing out for Summer semester and wait one more semester before I do my final exams hoping I would find a way to be fine again. I knew that I had to leave! I knew that I needed distance to my old life in order to become clear and I knew that I had to learn English. I started to look for a place to go in order to learn English: USA, UK, Malta …. as suddenly a picture appeared in my imagination and I knew where I was meant to go. That was the red Rock in the Heart of Australia: Uluru! I would never have thought about going to Australia, but the message came very clear. I called my dad and told him about my idea he said I was mad! Australia was too far away! But that didn´t matter! Nothing did matter any more! I knew that I was gonna do it anyway. \n\n![6 (47).JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmdp2RV9R5G9gyBp9iS9hFtzsXkZVionmM12F4asZ5yZRX/6%20(47).JPG)\n\nI remember myself sitting in the plane 3,5 years ago on 29th of April and writing in my journal: \n“[...] I am afraid of the unknown and I feel ashamed about my English. [...] But I know that faith and love are stronger than everything else in the world and I know that I will success.”. I did not know any body in Australia nor had I travelled alone before in this way and my English ….? A disaster! I could not say even one sentence in English! I knew that was not gonna be easy but it doesn´t have to!\n\n![9 (12).JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmRpgE7XV1v77hGqzPVFrMFftRvU7e9TNpmzeNeU3z5sVX/9%20(12).JPG)\n\nAs I arrived at the airport in Sydney I knew straight away, that I was gonna stay a year. People said that was mad, I had to go back and do my exams. But again that didn´t matter, cuz I knew that my exams would not run away from me while this opportunity was given to me just once and I did not want to miss it. I bought myself a camper and started to travel criss cross around down under and I loved it. That turned into the most amazing time of my life. \n\n![2 (6).jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmSZ9TnhStqi8F7wZEX3bzd9soztYbtYodpQvbKADjoqDz/2%20(6).jpg)\n\n![2 (37).jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmb8FPM2XtrW6eY9PwziMvxdcq4ErLPXC98y6aHBEhA4DV/2%20(37).jpg)\n\n![2 (44).jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmP3q6ZZfNewmfMaykbtk79MkbDHEaGmu85DaAM5ifUJs5/2%20(44).jpg)\n\n![3 (1).jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmcGP76AEeiMnkwQ2XYGXBA2KfGQ5B27mHsMEmEr5RmvQa/3%20(1).jpg)\n\n![2 (51).JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmUmJcSAwhK6wRca23DeNYcyY26R8o7mVpbxDSkPyihx9C/2%20(51).JPG)\n\n![3 (21).JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmSUuLFKAYTwyj9DpAuXrg7QtodPnMozUANyZsRgx3WNiA/3%20(21).JPG)\n\n![4 (24).JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmd4bf8D8ucgLocdhrgvScfEnb5Y5FjbQK4nmK1RoE21Ct/4%20(24).JPG)\n\n![DSC02332_1.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmXoARj1TDWFwWCPhvmtP5AG2eqgaKdJ1hmQhxetDu1GvT/DSC02332_1.JPG)\n\n![DSC02934.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmSmeee1ddfpFreGxKSRyxsorgjtAANvCDCw6eeZUhydF8/DSC02934.JPG)\n\n![DSC04152.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmWXz8yXyy3oJbX5YRb4RrYXZfkoee4KoD5SK4C7p1CspN/DSC04152.JPG)\n\n![5 (2).JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmSp2JDRvHyhE8tsvZA7arz497U5qnVwVbZNUtxLnpPKK7/5%20(2).JPG)\n\n![3 (19).JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZChTHR13yPyjQf2UrsxQxv1zcn8YPeW6oCvQVsNbmadS/3%20(19).JPG)\n\nAfter 6 months of travelling I arrived in a small unknown town “Broome” north west of Australia. I was on my way to Perth and was gonna stay in Broome just for 2 or 3 days to wash the red dirt of outback in the beautiful turquoises ocean …. But one more time the life had made an other decision for me …. Things came together a way that I ended up not leaving Broome at all. I needed a job. That was wet season and there were not many jobs offering, my English was still not good enough to work with people it wasn´t easy for me to find a job anyway. After weeks of looking for a job and not finding anything I decided to leave Broome and was a bit sad about this decision. On the day as I was gonna leave a miracle happened into my life. Some one offered me a job out of the blue, as a carer! I had never been a carer in my life before! I did not have a clue what I had to do but I said to myself that I was gonna learn it. That way I was allowed to work with one of the most amazing and loving people I have ever met in my life. He is a paralysed man sitting in a wheelchair, with a heart as big as the ocean. That wasn´t easy at all. Not the work itself, I learned that one very quick. But it wasn´t easy to look at a person being so helpless in his everyday life. That broke my heart for days and days. I cried every night before going to sleep. I could not understand the fate nor the world. Why should such a lovely person have such a fate? \nThis job was not there to bring money into my life, as I soon realised, this job was there to remind me on my life purposes. To remind me that I am on this world for a reason and there is a purpose in everyday of my life: to live! \nWe became very close friends very soon and he told me his story: he used to be a traveller just like me. Travelling the world for months and months, being sporty, running marathons, being a gym teacher … “When I look at you I remember my old days. I was like you, a free soul, a traveller full of Energy! I could not sit around doing nothing.” he told me one day. He used to be a young energetic man until one day …. 30 years ago he had an accident, he didn´t wear any security belt, the car turned up side down, the other 2 passengers survived without any injury and he ended up in a wheelchair. One night after he told me his heartbreaking story, I was lying in my hammock in my beautiful peaceful villa at his resort reading my book, as I suddenly saw my feet. I put my book to the side and looked at my feet it was as if I would see them for the first time, I moved my feet, got up, started to walk, run and jump: “OMG! I can move my feet! He can´t!” I realised and started to cry. That was the first time in my life as I recognised something very important, yet having been taken as granted in my life: the value of my feet and my healthy body! I remembered my own accident which I had with a friend on the beach just few weeks before I met Andy. I didn´t wear any security belt just like him, our car ended up being up side down as well and I was stuck in the car. I remembered the moment as the accident was just about to happen and I remembered that I knew that everything what was gonna happen from this moment on was out of my control! After remembering this scenery I knew that I didn´t meet Andy coincidently! Andy reminded me that the person sitting in the wheelchair could have been me myself. I knew that Andy was a sing telling me, that I got a new chance to change my life to a better one and I had to be grateful for this chance and I realised that I didn´t have to go back to Germany any more! Life can change very quick and I knew that I did not want to waste my time doing something I didn´t like to do and being somewhere I didn´t want to be …. I did not have a clue, what I was gonna do, but I knew that I didn´t need to go back to my old life. And again no one could believe that I was gonna give up my study which I had invested years and years of my life into, which was meant to bring money and security into my life. “You are mad! You are not gonna give that up! You have got just 4 exams to go! Come back finish that and do what ever you want!” they said, but I knew that I didn´t need a piece of paper to improve my knowledge it was not worth it my time! \n\n![DSC02570.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmePJYPkDehgYWqM7SJ1aQvRfT3DhNrifiiQXaahiAxzP5/DSC02570.JPG)\n\n![DSC07672.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmYEuZN3SGMXXMwdCdCZ75Y4BXwzBafWwSq7pwAxYBDeoY/DSC07672.JPG)\n\n![DSC08415.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmctMjM4YbAw35FogR3JKfeaGZouVy2A6E5vWjsNbxLe3T/DSC08415.JPG)\n\n![DSC03057.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmXjFWcLbxpwMQghhzR65SgG2b1VtHMCh1gfJiHNJgjKDo/DSC03057.JPG)\n\n![101_9300.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmNMGf7qkz6z5hfdQVZXt3MuHGcdhjt9tYi14d1G9Af71c/101_9300.JPG)\n\n![DSC09649.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZZHvFpQ9aQtyo6oG15Yxa3iJ6Jx4ztafGn4hgagiiLha/DSC09649.JPG)\n\n![IMG_20150401_155522.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmWqoaMjKvzp52qeMR5S9Bug9VSXAEqc2MkwyZ8btB5dPP/IMG_20150401_155522.jpg)\n\nIt has been a long trip and a long story with lots of ups and downs which is going to end. I had lots of goals for this trip which I mostly achieved and I had one aim: I promised to myself that I was not gonna stop travelling until I find to myself. Today three years later I realise that I have achieved my aim as well! It´s been a long way to go but I made it. I still don´t know where I am gonna be in one month but I know where ever I will be, there will be my new home and I will be fine there. \nI am a native of Iran, but my homeland is not Iran, my homeland has gone lost as I was born. Since than I have been looking for my home: for that one place on this earth to settle down. Today I realised, that I was blind that I have been wasting my time looking for this one place! Home as a place on the earth is nothing but an illusion. Home is not a place on the earth, home is where your heart is. If you are looking for your home, go and find your heart. “That is very easy, my heart is where I am.” you may think. But that is not true! The truth is, that we are, where our heart is, yet our heart is not always where we are. Our heart is, where our desires and wishes are and where our wishes and desires are is our every home. So I understood, that in order to find my home, I had to listen to my heart and follow my dreams. Yet I had to learn, that my dreams are my dreams and they may be different to other people´s dreams or to the collective dream. But does that matter? If we want to find that one home, we have to be brave. Brave enough to face ourselves. Brave enough to face our fears and our weakness, brave enough to say: “I am not perfect but that is not my purpose to be.”\n“when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.” says King Melchizedek to the shepherd in the book “The Alchemist” from Paulo Coelho. “is that true?” I have been asking myself since I can remember.\nDuring my travel around the world, just as during the years of my journey through the life, I have experienced that quite often, that every time I would recover from a life challenge and believe to be the master of my life again, something would happen and cast me down to the every ground. It seemed to me as life would have put the seed of a desire in my heart which I could never reach. “could life be so cruel to bring me to that one beautiful river of my desires and take me away just before I am able to get it? Would God show me that crystal clear water to let me know that there is there somewhere, but to not allow me to drink from its water? Why would God do that?”  I have been wondering for long time, over and over, every time I failed and lied on the ground again. A few days ago I have found the answer of this question in one of Paulo Coelho´s books: “The fifth mountains”: \n\n“Every human being at some time had tragedy enter his life. At that moment, God challenged one to confront with Him and to answer His question: ´Why dost thou cling fast to an existence so short and filled with suffering? What is the meaning of thy straggle?´\nThe man who did not know how to answer this question would resign himself, while another, one who sought a meaning to existence, feeling that God had been unjust, would challenge his own destiny. It was at this moment that fire of a different type descended from the heaven – not the fire that kills but the kind that tears down ancient walls and imparts to each human being his true possibilities. Cowards never allow their hearts to blaze with this fire; all they desire is for the changed situation to quickly return to what it was before, so they can go on living their lives and thinking in their customary way. The brave, however, set afire that which was old and, even at the cost of great internal suffering, abandon everything, including God, and continue onward. The brave are always stubborn. From heaven God smiles contentedly, for it was this that He desired, that each person takes into his hands the responsibility for his own life. For. In the final analysis, He had given his children the greatest of all gifts: the capacity to choose and determine their acts. Only those with the sacred flame in their hearts had the courage to confront Him. And they alone knew the path back to His love, for they understood that tragedy was not punishment but challenge.” \n\nand the way life proves our will ….\n\nOn my long journey to my home and to myself I found out, that the only thing which keeps us away from our dreams, are we ourselves. We are our biggest enemy and no one else! Most of the people never achieve their dreams because they could not see how close they were as they gave up! They forget that the longest night of the year always arrives just before the days start to become longer, and that the darkest moment of night always appears just before dawn. They fail the last exam of life just before they could see the sun rising in their lives. Most people never reach their desires because they are afraid. They are afraid of happiness, because they believe that they didn´t deserve that. Life is not always set to be easy for a good reason: life is not for cowards, the weak shall lose the battle while the strong one will survive. This is the cycle of life. We are not talking about the physical strength. A body can be as strong as it wants to, the moment we give up on our dreams and desires our soul will die. From that moment on the body might still be alive wondering through life but there is no soul existing in this body any more …. \n\nIf I have learned one thing during this 3,5 years that was “trust”! To trust into my inner voice, to trust in life and to trust that everything is gonna be fine at the end, even if it doesn´t look like that right now! The most painful situations sometimes lead us to the most beautiful experiences in life. \nIf you are sitting somewhere being heart broken and sad or unhappy with your life, reading this lines right now, break it up and get out of that, doesn´t matter what that is! Quite it, if it doesn´t serve you or make you happy. Don´t wait until somebody comes and takes your hand! That might never happen. Do it yourself. After all, life is all about making the right decisions at the right time. Don´t ask any body which way to go, you are the only one who knows the way.

And as the way to our inner treasure is full of obstacles, steps and goes through the darkness, so does the way to the most amazing treasures on the world. And in both cases it is worth it to take this way every step. it just needs courage. \n[IMG_6216.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmYPQr7rLNmrcEnq5EqFLDv9RqVufWHPC1PbSVY7sYA458/IMG_6216.JPG) As an adventure traveller I don´t really like the touristic places. They are full and busy. I like to discover places, where not many people go to. So did I yesterday. The way was quite long, narrow, dark and slippery, but that what I find at the end of this road made me speechless: white sand and crystal clear water. An other small pretty paradise and I was on my own private beach with nobody around. I let the pics talk for themselves. 😎🤗❤️🙏🏝️🗾 @punta bunga beach, Borocay, Philippines ![IMG_6196.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmRGLEV7VVzFdgfFrzmcMFKiawCoWuJtYzCQ1YpBMbyZdi/IMG_6196.JPG)![IMG_6184.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmXeWzggUN3YbAbfQGsaCiCuyxCTyHtu14y2fDTzcRKYQu/IMG_6184.JPG)![IMG_6242.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmTCxcsurZokC5QR7WGzxWfuygbnViePQZJw6yk58hqnzF/IMG_6242.JPG) ![IMG_6178.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZnjnyE7vQpntfcME7y4xfs3ejfZbNiF7DMdBvWWJDe9s/IMG_6178.JPG) ![IMG_6170.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmNVNQZfr5TMe1PWYbyowyNhj4ko6SgvXZZ8dJbWPdXs21/IMG_6170.JPG)![IMG_6289.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmeLenKsLBDKp1G8nYFPUBh1XNc1uaJTdvhcUEoD8EjMJn/IMG_6289.JPG)![IMG_6171.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZutf7mYswXyCyANwxUguzSFEMBLB1z3zCJ8vdZuCfhUd/IMG_6171.JPG)![IMG_6176.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmdk9b558oDEzyrmjss4xBkqjVSh9r4dmnS3RcGthGJPPR/IMG_6176.JPG)![IMG_6271.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQfGLHyDxJFib5VHVLEahyuButWmqovAYDsZtinPacJHV/IMG_6271.JPG)(https://steemitimages.com/DQmV6iVDjSiQe4yzQHUah2RfRuVTF4MQaY6QSuCj8KfwtcG/IMG_6172.JPG)![IMG_6182.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmYYcvfmHtjSa9RAeLLiwBgJF7JLGWgQGovvRtBFEqT6Vo/IMG_6182.JPG)![IMG_6183.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmWMtrcUXzxb5ubhTgxt3zeHcFWKbLpjWu4MYQdWmmiQu1/IMG_6183.JPG)![IMG_6289.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmeLenKsLBDKp1G8nYFPUBh1XNc1uaJTdvhcUEoD8EjMJn/IMG_6289.JPG))![IMG_6230.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQMAbfMrB4Zk75Vze6UBWyRA4e153WcS3g1Mv6XcYEF3V/IMG_6230.JPG)![IMG_6188.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZ672JEWUj4Sbo2MA3iaPhYzLj7htDaeh6KUAhANAVnfz/IMG_6188.JPG)![IMG_6314.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmWuygkyvr3vpS44qN7h5JRdUwNwPNpmFDtQtkBDj1xhjE/IMG_6314.JPG)",

Every time I go to the beach I collect the rubbish. So did I today .... First I thought what would all this fancy ppl, sitting in their fancy chairs, eating their fancy meal while nipping on their fancy cocktails think of a stranger with funny hair walking along the beach collecting rubbish? But than I remembered that I have stopped caring about what ppl think of me quite long time ago, so I kept doing, what I was doing: collecting rubbish. As I did so, I recognised an other person starting doing the same. The world doesn't change by your opinion but by your example. What if every body would take his rubbish with himself and maybe even the rubbish which he sees but doesn't belong to him. Would the world be a better one in this case? The earth is the paradise if we would care about it and look after it. This rubbish will kill the ocean, the nature and eventually the whole world. Soon there won't be any beautiful white beaches on the earth to go to and to enjoy, cuz all this amazing corals which are the reason for the clear water and the snow white sand will die out by this rubbish. ![IMG_5922.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmfWLzRNy5FA2FRfLbxQZNBTfJxzKwowCo6F6rRGBXJFBT/IMG_5922.JPG)![IMG_5923.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmcUYkKc7AzVY6VLhP2SytjoeSVNoGNu8iY18SBSg2KyUA/IMG_5923.JPG)![IMG_5924.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmP8Nhhn7bJ41q5NBSixnbcN4bzTyoj66skJPx3P5pNYT1/IMG_5924.JPG)![IMG_5616.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmWesdfkBCwQ5hnt3CBH86TDP2FbQB9SaTXTGnTit33vRd/IMG_5616.JPG)![IMG_5925.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmd1uvsubP9ChnrpLQ1tf3DSuDScqNGRR6o3QUG2KaUJkr/IMG_5925.JPG)![IMG_5732.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmPAdvNNbqaZ6AuFyqSmkRymoDx5jTQbqFX2BLhHXGJFoU/IMG_5732.JPG)![IMG_5783.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmPgCiiKz1SAg3P9VdGvFBokRjN9FTyZfnQkWWyhtnJPRb/IMG_5783.JPG)![IMG_5766.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmcsUCozM5GSjqSiGrX7Dj1Wi8RKvstvgumKozoJUx6Hj6/IMG_5766.JPG)![IMG_5773.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmP85a7AUSZurAjCno4dZkMzFTG1bHm6ZXCymqCyC4yGii/IMG_5773.JPG)![IMG_5819.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmTiSmyjXaXGVNbvYHcLArXuZfKTeV8QJYeEXcQGVsXkn8/IMG_5819.JPG)![IMG_5880.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmb47aTNNwGg7corFaezyvtKmxpWbCpqz2911X2vQiU4Vx/IMG_5880.JPG)![IMG_5627.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmbRM2oc217vassCj9YyXvjfJbjyrA2fNFtDhFCDf32dmZ/IMG_5627.JPG)![IMG_5748.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQXJAPkeDugUTocsKs9cic3terkXa6CR1gFYU7Q1NaLJn/IMG_5748.JPG)![IMG_5797.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmaHnUtDcgv4pa4oK1pA4xk8scne9NDv5T9xjqQfoFw5xX/IMG_5797.JPG)![IMG_5581.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmSEVzaX65syNpQd9KSirSG6FVhVmqrybNc1JKDSJXkaeh/IMG_5581.JPG)![IMG_5824.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZ466mgnsnDh9PeXAkaCgGPsS2XRmcd8CEjpemi35fNv7/IMG_5824.JPG)![IMG_5844.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQma86Ley5gxZJhncZSRFzttzF1qCYXJrBQgL8FTqiL9AeD/IMG_5844.JPG)",

      "body": "I am a long term traveler, hobby photograph and writer, who has been travelling around for the last 3 years. Here, I will share some of my strories with you:\n\nI am a 33 years old, single girl, who was born in Isfahan, Iran.  I grew up in a religious family and I used to be a Muslim. In September 2001 my family moved to Germany, because of dad´s job. That was a blessing, which I couldn´t recognise back than.  I was sad leaving my home and my friends behind and I cried a lot. I promised to myself, that I would go back to Iran as soon as I would turn 18 .... The first months of living in a new country was everything else but easy. I didn´t speak any German, couldn´t find any friends, the new culture, new rules, new everything ..... But it didn´t take long and I started to realise the value of this gift given to me: my freedom! So I didn´t want to go back to Iran any more. \nThe first thing I realised, was that I didn´t need a religion to be a good human and left Islam. The only thing I needed to do in order to be a good human was, to listen to the teaching of my heart, to treat every single body independent on his religion, colour, origin, age, degree etc. the same way I want other people treating me. \nI went to the school and learned quite fast German. I past my school after 3 years and started to study physics, maths, psychology, education and philosophy.  I spent years on studying at the universities, but I have never made a degree, as I started to travel three years ago and realised, that all I need to know about life, I learn while I am living! Beside all the \"useful\" things, which I have learned during my study, the most important things I really need to know in order to live a happy life were those, I learned while travelling and meeting other people. So I realised, that I didn´t need a piece of paper to improve my knowledge. \nI have a very eventful life, as my friends always say. I started to share some of my stories with some friends and they found them sometimes very helpful for their own life. Me myself have learned the most from other people´s stories, so I decided to share my stories in this page.  I hope you will enjoy them :)\nThank you for following me and sharing my stories :)\n![DSC00230.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmf3P9vf2NTxEXKsBEPZfksuifrZtWQH37ovZQEVE5Yy5f/DSC00230.JPG)![11 (4).JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmax2ZKUL5KpfkoXMW9EdBA3ykJtQJA6XkCj7LftkPvMLq/11%20(4).JPG)![DSC00645.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmY891pRfDALDogKbRkke5T6AEzrbtaG7X1Roe3vkrBnMi/DSC00645.JPG)",
