Alexander Großkord - Who is running the Blog!

Hello,

I'm Alexander, a German who is 49 years old and who can't resist the temptation to do wonderful and adventurous things. You see, I've decided that age should never be a barrier to having a good time, and I fully accept life's quirks and eccentricities. You'll often catch me hatching mischievous plans, chasing wild dreams, and getting caught up in adventures that drive my family & friends crazy. My enthusiasm for life is absolutely contagious, and I hope to remind everyone that it is never too late to live in the moment to trust more in fate and the positive in the universe. Maybe dare to try things that are not so comfortable and take you away from everyday life to rediscover the true nature that makes life really wonderful. So join me on my whimsical journey, and who knows, maybe you'll find that embracing life's surprises can be a gateway to some of its most unforgettable adventures.

Remember, 20 years from now, you'll be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the things you did, so what are you waiting for?
