Hello, my name is Joachim, and welcome to my website! Here, you'll find all the information about my adventures and activities. Have fun exploring, and enjoy your time here.
I was born in 1982 in the beautiful town of Schwalmstadt in northern Hesse, Germany. I am a product designer, a trained carpenter, and a passionate nature and adventure photographer. Additionally, I served for eight years in the German Armed Forces, achieving the rank of Master Sergeant. I’m someone who thinks in images—even when they’re words. Photography and videography have fascinated me since childhood. I love venturing outdoors, always on the “hunt” for stunning subjects. Whether it's a hike through my home region, a kayaking trip down the Danube, a road trip across Iceland or Namibia, or trekking along the Kungsleden in Swedish Lapland, my camera is my constant companion.
Beyond photography and videography, my greatest passions include hiking and traveling. Escaping the daily routine, experiencing small adventures, and discovering new horizons is a deeply fulfilling pursuit for me. Naturally, these passions complement each other perfectly. Every time I encounter something fascinating on my journeys, I am thrilled to capture it with my camera.
My YouTube channel allows me to fully embrace these passions. One of the primary goals of my channel is to motivate and inspire others to venture outside and embark on their own adventures. We live in the present, yet we often postpone what we've always wanted to do, telling ourselves there will be time later. But what if "later" never comes? There's nothing worse than looking back with regret over missed opportunities.
It doesn’t take the perfect moment to act - just the right one. So, my friends: go out and live your adventure!
Best regards
Joachim Hofmann
That's me
