As I looked out the window this day was becoming a great sunny day.  I was unsure about what to do since the friend of mine Karl who is going to help me with filming the Galapagos adventure for the first two weeks arrived today by plane. I have no proper working phone at the moment (Yes I know – but in the jungle I don’t need it…) so it would be difficult to reach him and best seemed to wait until he pops in at Anthony apartment. I had hoped he could stay there for one night but in the moment the doorbell rang Anthony had different plans what I needed to accept. So the big mission started to find Karl a place last minute to stay in NYC for one night. It was ridiculous! After having a few soda we were looking desperately for a room. But all about $500 for one night! In the end we found him a decent place for $300! I would have never expected that since NYC seemed to be so full of places to stay…
We didn’t do anything at night I was simply to tired and exhausted…

I still have to recover my jet lag. I am so tired – I think I slept for ages. At least I missed nothing since the weather was rainy and cold and the best thing to do was enjoying the view from the 39th floor of the building I stay in at the east side. I ordered some Chinese food and waited for my host Anthony to come home… At night we left for some American Macaroni and Cheese and I checked out the cameras at night. I took some Big Apple night impressions of couple of building like my favorite – the Flat Iron Building.

Let the new adventure start. And yes it was an adventure right from the beginning. After getting up around 5am I was dropped off at Berlin TXL airport. I decided to be more than early – just in case and because I wanted to declare the cameras for my trip at the customs. To be honest that wasn’t working because of the German way of things. The customs wanted me to show some papers / bills what says that these items belong to me. But I simply didn’t have them because I didn’t buy all of them and I didn’t knew. Anyhow I will be fine. Later while waiting for my first connection flight to Dusseldorf what had more than 1h delay I met first Timo and later Patrick from Hawaii. So I actually had some nice conversation while waiting for ages. Fortunately my second flight was waiting because too many people had connection flights to the US. But again, while sitting at the plane to NYC one passenger had the crazy idea not to fly out of a sudden. So the plane had to stop just because of that traveler and they needed to find his baggage what took them over an hour again! Then we lost our starting slot and had to wait again. Finally we left. Meanwhile I was so tired that I just simply wanted to sleep! And so I did. When I woke up they had put a new neighbor next to me that is a successful German artist who lives for years in the Big Apple. We started a conversation and this one lasted until we arrived in JFK airport. I have to say this guy Clemens actually could talk even more than me! But all very entertaining so time was passing by quickly. We took the train and I took another bus to find the place I wanted to stay couchsurfing. A girl accompanied me and showed me the way to the building where I finally arrived. My host Anthony lives at the 39th level and the view is great. Maybe not as great as it could be if it wasn’t raining. But still impressing. Actually I am not even the only couchsurfer at his place at the moment. Another girl from Lithuania stays at his place already since a few days.

I took this snapshot while sitting in the train to Manhattan… Typical NYC!
Look closer… Can you tell me what is wrong?

So two more weeks and the next big adventure starts – I will go to Galapagos and from there further if all works out well. I will try to find out where most help is needed to save some of the beautiful but endangered species. So I can spend money out of the book I want to write and exhibitions I want to make. Just to make a little difference and the world a little better. I hope for your support and friendship on my journey my friends. Feel free to post comments and encouraging words on my wall in facebook or here on my blog www.photogravity.de Spread the word. Sometimes a single comment can make my day and bring a smile on to my face simply because i know there are people out there who believe in me and my dream! Thank you!

I am on my way to fulfill my dream. There are many people who inspire me to keep going who had reached their dreams before so I know all is possible as long as you believe strongly and make it possible.

One of most inspiring people I found recently was Professor Randy Pausch who actually died few years ago on cancer. But his message is still alive and need to be spread… Please watch this very touching and inspiring “Last lecture” about how to achieve your childhood dreams. I promise it will make you think!

After three weeks of voting competition today ends the contest for the trip of a lifetime to Galapagos. I attended and became one of the finalists. So for three weeks I ask as much as I could friends and people around the world to vote me to the top. To be inspired by my dream. This three weeks became intense since it was hard work to get in contact with people all over the world through all timezones. But it was more than worth it – I met brilliant people and got new friends and supporters. I am very very happy to have you my friends. I finally won! I can’t explain how it felt – but it felt great! So therefore this Galapagos project is dedicated to all my friends and supporters from all over the world who believed in me and my dream and who encouraged me the three weeks to keep going. Thank you!
