Heading North: A Journey to Find My Destiny

Donation protected
Hi! My name is Lionel, I’m 19 years old and this summer, I’ll be walking from Zürich (Switzerland) all the way to Skagen – the northernmost point of Denmark – and back. That’s more than 3,300 km on foot.

And for that, I need your support.

Right now, I’m finishing my apprenticeship as an architectural drafter, which ends in summer 2025. After that, I want to take this time to step away from the noise and spend 4–5 months walking, thinking, and reconnecting with myself. I’ve often struggled with feeling lost in life, unsure of what path to take or what my purpose really is. This journey is my way of searching for clarity, growth, and maybe even my destiny.
I plan to document each day by taking a Polaroid photo of a special moment and writing about it – one instant from every day of the journey. These pictures will tell the story of my path, step by step.

Your donations will go toward:

Food & supplies during the hike
The Polaroid camera and film to capture the journey
Small gear upgrades and safety essentials

As a thank you:
Everyone who donates over 20.- will receive a short personal letter with a few pictures of special moments from the trip once I return — a small piece of the journey, sent to you.
If you believe in self-discovery, bold dreams, or simply want to be part of an adventure like this — your help would mean the world.
Every contribution helps.

Let’s see where the path leads.

– Lionel
