The Dream Journey - Laos
Laos - The Dream Journey - The Documentary - Part 1
WOULD OUR RELATIONSHIP SURVIVE?
In 2017, Valentine and I put our relationship to a first hardcore test. We decided to cycle for six months 3500km across Asia.
We called our adventure ‘The Dream Journey’. But Valentine was afraid of cycling and had never been on such an adventure. Would she make…would we make it?
We knew this adventure could make or break us.
JOIN US for this first part across Laos.

The connection with nature, glimpses and more of sheer paradise on earth, all amplified by your honesty, raw energy, communication with each other and the audience and above all by your persistence, resilience, ability to let go and by your love for each other and humanity- this was just so engaging and calming at the same time and soul-stirring and inspirational.

The Dream Journey - Trailer
Following their first encounter in an elevator in Geneva, Valentine and Christoph decided to cycle 3500km through Asia, crossing the wild jungles of Laos, the ruins of Cambodia and the chaos of India, discovering the mystical Kingdom of Mustang, crossing the Himalayas and supporting mentally destitute homeless. Experiencing vulnerability, touching encounters, majestic landscapes, fierce sandstorms and eternal sunsets, they truly discovered their limits and strengths, covering more than 65'000m altitude. This is the story of a YES to oneself, to each other, to LOVE, to LIFE.

South India from Heaven
The South of India has some of the most stunning landscapes in Asia. We cycled across parts of Kerala and tried to find places off the beaten track and away from the heavy Indian traffic. Our time in Kerala was part of our Dream Journey.

Mustang from Heaven
The ancient Kingdom of Mustang is one of the most isolated and harsh places on the planet. Located on the border with Tibet, it is one of the three ancient Buddhist Kingdoms together with Tibet and Bhutan. Life in those rugged mountains seems to have stopped in a past unknown to us. It is a place of mystical depth, located on the roof of the world, inhabited by some of the most adorable and resilient people on the planet. As part of our Dream Journey we adventured across this region. It was like travelling with a time-machine to landscapes so beautiful we had never imagined such places exist.

Like a Bird
For the last 20 years I have been paragliding the mountains of this world. Every new mountain, every new flight gives me another glimpse of the beauty of this world. I feel like a silent visitor in the air…like someone who always dreamt of being able to fly and to see the world with the eyes of a bird.

Since I have been a child
I was dreaming of flying
I always imagined
carrying my own flying machine on my back

taking off from almost anywhere
Kissing the sky...
