What am I doing all day long? Well, I am working every other day from 7-11 am and from 6-11 pm. That means taking drink and food orders, prepare it, bring it out and clean afterwards - as easy and I really enjoy it! Apparently, at least for me I found out, its the amount of time I am working as the key for having a proper work-life balance. 25 to 32 hours is just perfect in order to enjoy life a little bit more and still like your job! (what surprised me a lot) Here I met a couple of swiss guys and they told me at the moment its a big trend in Switzerland to work on a 80% basis. Swiss geniouses! Germany: please follow the good example of the swiss! Well, and if I m not on duty, I go climbing, do workouts with the camp mates, go to the bazar of the local people and basically just everything what I would do on a day off back home as well.

My time at Jo.Si.To Geyikbairi, Turkey
Living here in Geyikbairi is really nice! Getting up every morning with the mountains around that get just tickeled by the sun, falling asleep with a last view at the sky full of stars and having one of the best climbing areas around! It's Beautiful.

What next? I dont know..... Let me know all your brilliant ideas or lets make up a plan and travel together! So far, I thought about keep on climbing in Asia, come home for working at a skihut for the skitouring season, cycle to Georgia...On the 27th of November I have to leave Turkey and should have a plan by then.

Arrival at JoSiTo´s Geyikbayiri, Turkey
After 1600 km of cycling the 'Stans and Turkey, 3 weeks mountaineering in Kirgistan, 150 km of trekking on the Lycian and Saint Paulus path, and and and I finally landed in Geyikbayiri. Which was originally the only destination decided and planned.
Turns out going super spontaneously on a cycling and mountaineering trip in between is always a good decision. I do not regret one step of the last 3 month, and I can highly recommend to all of you: Move on when you are not happy! Do not get stuck for too long - there is a lot stuff out there that wants to get explored.
So thats my home (more pics behind the link) for the next two month.
Visitors are very much welcomed. So jump on a plane and come by!!

Rock 'n' Roll with Evi
EVIIII, joined me for the Paulus Path - awesome!!! So I didn't have to drink my Raki and Wine all by myself in the evenings :)
The path was lovely, and Charlys Pension in Egirdir is a beautiful place to stay.
Turkish Kahve in Antalya, yummie!
Turkish people love their cats. Insane.
Best thing ever: having some Ayran and Milk after a Walnut Cake.
Following the romans:
Yap, thats where we have to go. Do not get lost - again
Fruitpicking: You can never have enough Figs and Grapes
Our turkish mountaneering guide:
With the beers, she can smile again - I know my sister
Our awesome guides. You'd get drunk from their smell...
Raki on ice - can highly recommend this as "Betthupferl"

Hard work on the Lycian path
In my first week in Turkey I found out that Turkish men like chaseing female tourists, the word "toilet seat" has a funny turkish translation and that the loudest grasshoppers/crickets, whatever they are, live in front of my window.
What will happen next week?
Well, as I got to known to a turkish mountaineering guide on Pik Lenin, telling him that I will spend 3 Weeks in Turkey without doing anything, he took me directly under contract. Starting tomorrow my task will be to do two one-week treks on the Lycian and the Paulus path and prepare descriptions for selfguided adventurers. Insider told me that I can expect delicious food, amazing views and nice turkish mountain hotels. I am exited! Hopefully no abrupt end like with my last challenge.
On the 23rd of September I will then head to JoSiTo Climbers Guesthouse where I will take the chance to work for food and accomodation. One day working, next day off --> CLIMBING!!! Yay!
