It has always been my dream to become a scuba diving instructor and teach diving abroad for a while. In 2019 my dream came true when I embarked on a journey to work as a scuba diving instructor in Ibiza and Thailand for one year. This book is the story of one of the best and enriching years of my life on one hand, and a deep reflection on all the powerful life lessons, which emerged during this one year, on the other.

Born in Germany in 1984, I have spent most of my life in my hometown living a normal life... Graduating from high school, passing university and starting a career in project management. It all seemed to be going well, if there wasn't this great dream of becoming a scuba diving instructor. So the journey started in 2015 and finally ended with me living on the beaches of Ibiza and Thailand for one year.
