Dear people, the time has come! After making the decision last year, on October 3, 2025, triggered by the loss of my great love, to leave the world as I knew it behind, I am now taking this path on the digital level as well. There was an exclusive "I'm off...." telegram group for family and friends, which is hereby dissolved! Why this channel? Because OPENNESS is one of the 6 pillars of my journey and I cannot "demand" it without living it myself. Because the channel fills Frankie's website on a technical level and mine with content (frankieundich.de) and because I'm sending my GRATITUDE, which is also another foundation, to you in this way—those of you whose contact details I've partially deleted. Each and every one of you is, in one way or another, part of my story, part of my development. THANK YOU! ❤️ The journey so far is "documented" on the website, though it actually only begins with my last departure from the farm in F'Hain. What will follow is the rollout on Instagram… Yes, that's how far my openness extends now…LOL… Wishing you ALL a wonderful time and peaceful, joyful moments, ME
Mussels...straight from the sea..."picked" less than an hour before preparation
My companion for days....which I then released at the fig tree in the garden...🥰
Frankie, Kalin and me... and a portion of his products...
the part of the beach where I could be naked...in the sea too 😍 And the storm that caught up with me, of course, since I had 5km to get to Frankie's. Since everything was open at Frankie's place, I naturally had quite a job getting everything dry again 😂 Was a proper sprint along the beach...LOL...
Last sunset in Scht...Schk...Schkorpilofftschi 😂 ...from the landing pier...
Frankie, Ventsi and me, as well as his "farewell gifts" and the statement that I'd always have a place here if I should come back...😍❤️🙏
Frankie and me on the way to Chernomorets...😍
Here we are....❤️
View from the bar...😍😁🙏
I love the evening view 😍...and found my nocturnal companion pretty funny too, since at some point he just sat on my left shoulder 😜
Spoken Note
Hey dear people, the time has come. It's now been over two weeks since the last update. That was still running in the exclusive Telegram group I'm gone, which has since been closed. The new open channel is now called Frenki and I. I've meanwhile arrived in Chernomorets. That means I've left my last location. Of course there are a few little stories about that too, because up until then my life naturally continued happening. Regardless of the fact that I sat at the computer eight to ten hours a day, seven days a week, to get the website live with André, I was able to experience many many many encounters. One of the most important was with Venzi, a kitesurfer who is an incredibly great old soul, with whom I spent a lot of time, since he basically manages the campground. We talked, trained, ate and drank together. He was also partly the interpreter, of course, when I sat down with Niki, the owner of the place. Of course there's also Karlin, the food entrepreneur with his startup Rocket Foot from Sofia, who a week after he left the place with his family, specially traveled again from the Veliko Tarnovo region on the last Saturday to spend an evening with me. So he simply drives a total of seven and a half hours there and back because he wanted to spend time with me again and of course also brought me some samples of his delicious products. And what a great night we had. So there are also the farewell photos of Karlin and me and of Venzi and me afterwards. And because the whole story is also partly about me, after I supplied the Bulgarian firefighters with mussels, I naturally also swam out myself at the big landing pier to get palm-sized mussels for dinner at two and a half meters depth. And of course I did that for myself. Sure, you'll see that in the pictures too. It was fantastic, it was simply great and there was so much that I could also supply my neighbors at the campground all around with samples. What else happened? There was a bit of stress with my statutory health insurance, which didn't want to let me out. That has now succeeded. I now have international health insurance for the next six months and I'm out of TK. The stress with my family about all the money and the apartment is still open. Nothing has happened there. Borstel hasn't been sold yet either and my last employer simply withheld a large part of my last salary. Which now has to be dealt with through my favorite lawyer Thomas. But I think that's enough of unpleasant stressful stories. I really had two fantastic weeks in Skorpilovtsi. I think I pronounced that right. Great conversations with great people, among others also with a family from Germany who have been traveling for over a year and were at the same campground where I am now. And they simply shifted my original idea to go to the hippie campground before Burgas by a few kilometers. Now I'm in Chernomorets. The place is similar to the previous one, just with fewer trees. I'm standing directly in the sun and that's already a real challenge. On the other hand, I now only have 50 meters to the sea and can keep going in between times and cooling off, which of course also feels good. Here too I've met a lot of people again and it's naturally clear that I'm greeted in a friendly way by everyone, since I've been going around grinning and greeting from the first day here. Okay, not everyone greets back, but most of the people. I think the most important encounters are simply those with Ludmir. Yes, what a fantastic, funny, helpful person. What a story. He'll get, if he agrees with it, I still have to ask him of course. His own chapter, just like Venzi and Karlin too. Although I'll tease here already, Ludmir is a basejumper, skydiver, I think no longer active, but still he was, stuntman. Is a speed junkie, software engineer and bursting with creativity and good taste in music. That guy is really amazing. Then there's Sofia, a young Ukrainian who also belongs to the crew here and invited me, I think it was on the second evening here, to my first joint in seven weeks at the beach. She went sleeping afterwards and I went dancing. Funny. Then there's Bob, the neighbor to my left with his family, who works for Lufthansa, with whom I've already had funny conversations. Or Carlos to my right with his wife and daughter. He's from Nicaragua, has been here in Bulgaria for 42 years and works in Burgas. That means he starts here every morning with his 2.2 liter chopper, whose rear tire tops everything in width that I've ever seen. And with whom I can only communicate in Spanish and Bulgarian. Although, I have to admit, that with Bulgarian I cheat with Russian and we don't really talk extensively either. Of course, there's Stojan, I forgot him, who's hanging out here with his two kids, with whom I was out in town two days ago and we then also randomly met Konstantin on the promenade, who owns a restaurant there, etc. It's already crazy. Oh yes, right, Georgi, the owner of the place, who spends the complete summer time here with his wife and children. I trained with him on the beach today. He thought it was great, me too. And I'll certainly stay here a few more days, since there's still a lot to do before the journey from here continues in the direction of Greece, in the direction of Velika. Until then, the pictures that I'll send right afterwards should make the last two weeks here in Bulgaria somewhat comprehensible for you. That means I'll also send some from the route from the road. So, I wish you all a magnificent start to the weekend, even though it's already afternoon for me here of course, which is due to the fact that last night there was a fun party with nighttime naked swimming and a lot of raki. Of course I also slept in a bit this morning and only got up at eight, two and a half hours later than usual. Nevertheless I'm doing great and of course I'm also a bit excited now to go out into the world with my story, with the story of Frenki and me. And you won't believe it, even Instagram will be on board. And I'm curious what comes of it. So, enjoy today, create peaceful, joyful moments for yourselves, be healthy, have one more smile and there's a big fat hug for all of you. Until then. Bye.
