Well. Mostly water, lipids, proteins, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids.

Hello fellow traveler! My name is Jannis. Being born and raised in Germany, spending most of my childhood in Belgium, graduating from high school and university in Austria, yet being originally of Greek origin, I have been traveling my entire life. I still don’t know exactly why this way of life keeps haunting me, but even now, as a „grown-up“, I have difficulties staying in one place. I visited the U.S. and many parts of the Far East plenty of times, looking for something to find, only Zeus knows what … I travel to my so-called home country Greece all the time, in desperate need of rest, fulfillment and deep connection, watching the waves crashing on the shore, listening to the whispers of the ancient muses, and still wondering: Who am I?

Castles, knights, and the medieval tales of Central Europe as well as the breathtaking myths of my home country Greece have shaped me since my earliest childhood, which may be the reason why I became a storyteller in the first place, finding my niche in the German speaking high fantasy market, publishing ELASPHERA and my fantasy folk Troubadour songs.

But it was the same me who couldn’t resist the glory of Rock’n’Roll, the transcendence of Jazz and the mysticism behind all kinds of folk music styles. I had to use my skillset in those genres, combined with my storytelling ability and knowledge about modern pop music in order to connect with you. I had to write TRAVELER. I had to find YOU and talk to YOU with TRAVELER.

… a 24-song cycle including the „Travel Diaries“ blog, being released monthly. Those are songs for all of us! Songs about life, love and traveling on our beautiful planet, be it as a Third Culture Kid (which would be my case), a Cross-Cultural Kid in general, or an immigrant, each of them with their own unique story, or just an adventurous backpacker, searching for the meaning of life. For every one of us traveling may have a different meaning. I’d love to invite you to embark with me on this adventure and join me in my everyday life as a storyteller and musician, mindfulness practitioner, healthy lifestyle aspirant, nerd, and baby elephant lover!

Let’s travel and get lost together.
