The bloom and aesthetics in life are not in vertical hyper focus but in slow periphery. Context makes beauty.

Apart from my stories I haven’t been posting a lot during the last almost three years of my South America journey. I decided to start sharing some cinematic postcards in 16:9. All these moments had a peculiar significance to me. I hope you like it.

!FOR SALE!: Frieda – my trusty Chevrolet N400 MAX 1.5L (2021)

Together we’ve crossed deserts, mountains, jungles and Patagonian windstorms – over 60,000 km of adventure through South America all the way to the end of the world: Tierra del Fuego. But now, it’s time for someone else to take the wheel and write the next chapter.

Frieda is fully converted into a camper with everything you need:
☀️ Solar panel + lithium battery = 100% energy self-sufficient even on rainy days
🔌 2x power outlets (all EU + South America plugs compatible), 4x USB
💡 Cozy indirect lighting
🛋️ Couch setup for two people that turns into a comfy 1.95m bed
📦 Storage system with loads of space
🍽️ Comes fully equipped – from cooking gear, bedding, pillow to jumper cables. Just bring your backpack & go!

Designed with love for solo travel with a dog. With compromises it works for couples too.

Mechanically:
✔️ Milage: 80.000km (year of manufacture 2021)
✔️ Exemplarily serviced like a true German operational plant
✔️ New brake pads, spark plugs, cabin-, air and fuel filters
✔️ All-terrain tires (at least 30,000 km to go)
✔️ Best synthetic oil only
📅 Revision Technica (TÜV) August 2025

📍Registered in Chile (foreigners can own and register cars there without a problem. I’ll help with the process).
📦 I prefer selling in Peru, paperwork via a reliable agent (about $150 of extra costs). Worst case the sale and registration can be fully handled in Chile too.

💰 $13,000 USD (negotiable)
DM for more details, photos or a virtual tour ❤️

>>> Sharing would be hugely appreciated

You might have noticed that I haven't posted much since quite some time. The screen of my MacBook stopped working after it got damaged in a fight with a gunman who tried to rob me half a year ago in Mendoza. I hope it can be fixed in Santiago in a couple of months.

I had most of the images of this carousel curated and ready to be shared since a long time. It shows a few of the most memorable moments with in Portugal. The last photo of the series is one of my personal all time favourite shots.

Amidst the mountains, clouds draped low,
Where silhouettes of trees do show,
Through veils of mist, their peaks arise,
In moody greys and cloudy guise.

The birds, they dance in sheer delight,
Their songs, a symphony in flight,
In this realm where joy takes wing,
A playful orchestra, they sing.

And nestled in this misty shroud,
A Toucan sits, both bold and proud,
His beak a splash of vibrant hue,
Defying nature's somber view.

Mockingly, he gazes down,
Amidst the grey, a splash of crown,
His colors vivid, out of place,
A vibrant note in muted space.

Yet in this scene of gloom and height,
His presence adds a vivid light,
A touch of whimsy, a playful jest,
Amidst the mist, a colorful zest.

Do you have this best travel buddy?

Rabea, a really significant person in my life with whom I have probably grown more than any other person. Although she lives in Africa now she came to visit me in Portugal for a few weeks. And like back in the days when we hang out together we truly live to the fullest. We are an amazing team and I am thankful to have her in my life. I guess everyone has this one friend with whom you can indulge in the most extravagant gourmet avidities, haha. That's totally her.

I have not been posting very often in the last months as I am very busy with life and work at the moment. So many stories waiting to be told. But this one I felt had a priority.

The overwhelming vastness of the Atacama desert. It makes you dizzy. It makes you ponder. It makes you starting to believe that this once used to be a laboratory of god bouncing ideas of how to shape the most breathtaking miracles of nature on this planet.

From sunrise to sunset. I hear a lot of people saying that Spain is not the nicest van life destination. Some van lifers skip Spain entirely on their way to Portugal, just driving through. I think thats completely unjustified. On my first road trip through Spain in 2012 I desperately fell in love with the country. Ever since that time I have spent a lot of time in Spain, living in Madrid for half a year in 2017 and exploring the country on several road trips in the last five years. The more time I spend in the country the more amazing places I would discover. Embalse de la Rambla de Algeciras is a powerful place. Together with Lisanne and Fridolin I spent 3 days there in pleasant peace, doing Yoga, meditating, cooking amazing food, reading, taking a swim in the ice cold water and experiencing the most epic sunsets and sunrises. If you happen to be in the area don't miss it.

My dearest .ranft.art on an obscure and seemingly mysterious quest.

These images mean a lot to me. Creating art and telling a story with photographs is one thing. Photographing someone you love with all your heart is a whole other world. I have known Sascha for a very long time and we have really been through a lot. He never liked being photographed although he is such a talented model. It was so much fun capturing these jewels. Don't miss out checking his art!

Times of sandy hair, blazing sunsets and intimacy. I had a staggering lucid dream about Tabea the other night. A dream that preoccupied me for days. A dream that included physical sensation that I never felt before in a conscious state. I wondered about dreaming so much lately. Always I’ve been fascinated about it. Sometimes, like with this dream the other day, I am inclined to believe that all this cannot be solely a product of your own imagination, of your own brain. I like the idea that we connect to a universal ether when we dream. What if dreaming is not only the processing of events, motions and emotions. What if we actually receive from the ether? Anyway, it inspired me to collect and share some very personal moments with Tabea.

Full moon surf. The magic of the moon light and the knights of the swell. Something that rarely plays together. It was a lot of work but I am very happy how it turned out. What do you think?
