"One day I will become an architect.
Architecture is about creating space for people to live well.
So how can I ever create good architecture, if I never experienced the
world where all this people live?"

I'm PHILIPP MARKGRAF
and this is the story I want to tell:
It is not the story of graduating from highscool, becoming a student of architecture, trying to get a dimploma.
No numbers and dates.
(if you are interested see my CV)
It's the story that got me here planning to cycle over the gratest peaks to south India

The first big adventure that changed my life is a story of love.
I married a lovely brazilian girl that I met at copacabana beach, RJ some years ago. Enaira is a realy compassionate person wich brought a new level of being open-minded to my life.
She is strong in lifes harsh situations but struggles somtimes with the smaller things.

Diagnosed cancer, one year of hospital, treatment and surgery.
Sounds like a death-sentence to many.
For me it was contrary:
Never before I experienced life so intensly. It was like waking up in so many aspects of life.
Going on a 'plantbased diet' was the foundation to a health and stenght I never had before.

pedalsKILLcancer documents this change through diet and cycling.
Since I got back my health I cycled in several magic places, also one year in south brazil. This revealed the passion of discovering the world by bike to me.
Numbers do not matter to me but if you are interestet just visit my strava.

Getting independent from everything in life is my goal. This is Freedom!
This journey is to be a big step in that direction.
Leaving philosophies, leaving comforts, leaving habits. Taking things as they come and turning them into something wonderful.
I invite you all to be a part of this and to share a moment of good life with me!
