Are you feeling sad, Claudius?
Yes.
A little.
Crazy...
We are setting off on our one-year journey around the world.
We've quit our jobs, our apartments and said goodbye to our friends.
Every week we will shoot and edit a short film on the road.
We have no itinerary, no plan and no idea what to expect.
It's really crazy to feel totally exhausted before the journey has even started.
Kinda funny...
and really tough.
They will never do it...
Come on!
What astonishes me is that I had this dream, firing my imagination,
a dream that lets one do these things like give up your apartment, and tell everyone you'll be going on a trip like this.
And then - at least at first - it turns into such a nightmare.
There are many reason for that:
Firstly, I never before went on a one-year trip around the world.
Secondly, I carry the full responsibility.
Thirdly, I commit to doing this for a full year.
And then it turns into such a big project, with a TV channel, and a team of editors that are interested.
And so I end up in something which takes on a life of its own, and I felt overwhelmed a lot.
I don't feel afraid, like afraid of being mugged.
People ask me this all the time now because we are going on this journey.
I am not afraid of that sort of thing.
I am afraid that I will do things and discover character traits in myself that ... are unflattering.
