It´s me, Conny.
Salut!
Happy to have you here, welcome to my adventures, my stories, my creations and my insights. How this adventure started? In august 2016, I quit my job as a program director curating a big music festival of 25.000 people. Not that I wasn´t loving what I was doing, I did love to create events and I still do. That´s definitely one of my passions! It only was time to have some time again, after ten years of living that passion to the fullest. What I do I always do with 100%, minimum, if not 120%. Driving this speed through my life and career for that long years was fun. I saw and experienced so many things and met so many people but it also took a lot of energy and all the time that I had have. I was good in a lot of things but not in this work-life-balance-one. Then it took me a half more year to figure out what was needed to bring me back in balance. Around NYE 2016 to 2017 I decided to go back to Asia, continue my social projects over there, discover more of this warm and welcoming continent. The decision was made: so I took one year off.
I stepped in the plane in Berlin on 10th of march 2017, arrived one day later in Kathmandu and just started my new adventure which is still ongoing.
The girl behind
Living the life as an event manager and head booker of a big festival you hardly find time for yourself. Doing this big business contains many advantages, for sure. Besides it is one of the most interesting field you can work in caused by all the various experiences you made when you create events of all different kind of styles to entertain people and by having the chance to meet quiet a lot of interesting people and artists. On the other hand it is defined by a work-overload, by being everywhere every time and by being online and available 24/7. In this ten years of passionated organizing i learnt a lot. Kind of an old rabbit of the business i am able to manage every crisis, to handle complicated stuff by being able to stay calm in he strangest situations. But what i was missing had been balance. Recognizing my bad work-life-balance and my lack of happiness i decided to take a year off and started to travel. I love my job, i´m event-addicted with a big passion for art, artists, live music and the entertainment sector. My heart is beating for big productions with big stages. Creating magic moments, designing other people´s free time and giving my best in entertaining them, is what i love. In creating and producing i can live my big potential of creativity to the fullest. This job is made for me! After one decade it was just time to have time, to take some time for myself. Time to reload engergy. Time to reconnect. Time to relax & enjoy life. Time to break old pattern and expand the horizon. Time to see the world.
How the story began
LAS CIENCIAS CULTURALES: Originally i am a culture scientist by profession. Being active in this live/entertainment trade i always focused on integrating culture. But it didn´t gave me the same satisfaction as traveling did. My culture heart was not satisfied. I discovered my love for adventures while i was doing social work in West Africa and recognised that this kind of travels fulfills the lack. So I added four-weeks-charity-projects in my working year.
And since at least i started experiencing Asia the travel bug catched me completely. The reason why i came back and back and back again.
Well, here I am now, feeling totally free, just following where my heart is gonna leading me and sharing this part of my path with you.
FOR THE AIM OF: INSPIRATION. CREATION. MOTIVATION.
My aim is to inspire you doing the same by doing it your own way to explore the beauty of the world. For me finding my balance by choosing the life I want to live, connecting with open minded people from all around the globe and diving into all of these amazing colorful cultures around fulfills me.
Let´s see what it will do with you <3 Let´s get your adventure started.
Full of good vibes,
Your Vagablond
