This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. “Dudes and Dudettes, I am taking it to the road, travelling as a Design-Journeyman to work for food and accommodation all over the planet. Follow my stories about the projects I do and the adventures I experience”

Fabian Sixtus Körner has an insatiable appetite for life. He is an Author, Designer, Traveller and “Addict of the Good Things in Life” and has shared his experiences at TEDx University of Nicosia. Fabian spent two-and-a-half years travelling to all of the world’s populated continents, where he worked as an architect, designer and photographer in exchange for nothing more than room and board. In 2012 he returned to his native Germany, where he published an account of his experiences.

Fabian is a multidisciplinary creative enthusiast and doesn’t stick to one profession. After fashion design, architecture, graphic design, photography and documentary movies he wrote a book about his travels. Stories of Journeyman was published in 2013 and has become an international best-seller and has since been translated into different languages. Fabian resides in Berlin (when not travelling).

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
