After what some may consider careers in consulting and logistics, we quit our jobs, sold our stuff and left Germany to be full-time travelers and development volunteers. This blog is about our travels, our work as volunteers and our alternative life strategies - always looking to make an impact and to find the meaning in what we do or put some into it if we can't find any. -

1 Jahr später: das Ende der sinnvollen Reise (?) Versuch einer Abrechnung
Ready to GoHallo Leute, zuerst einmal unsere Entschuldigung, dass es hier so lange nichts zu Lesen gab. Wir haben ein großes Geheimnis daraus gemacht, wann und ob wir nach Deutschland zurück kommen, um Kerstins Papa zu seinem Geburtstag zu überraschen (gelungen!). Wir sind seit Anfang Juli wieder in Deutschland und stecken bis über beide Ohren in 1. […]
Lebenszeichen / Signs of Life
Apologies for not posting to the blog in a while. We’re back in Germany for a few weeks, wrestling with German bureaucracy, trying to meet as many friends and eat as many or our favorite dishes as possible ;-) Still some Belize posts in the pipe and of course a wrap-up of the “tripwithameaning”. Stay […]
Action at Mama Noots
A few weeks ago when Hendrik was visiting, we took him around the country. Amongst other places, we got to spend a night at Mama Noots Eco Lodge down south. A beautiful and well run little off-the-grid lodge, Mama Noots is located in the Bocawina National Park of Belize. It’s home to the longest zip […]
Tip: Rainbow Hotel, Caye Caulker, Belize
A little while ago, our friend Ernesto from Rainbow Hotel invited us over to spend a weekend at his hotel. Rainbow is situated centrally on the little island of Caye Caulker (which is definately one of my favorite spots in Belize). It lies right on the main beach front street, close to restaurants and supermarkets. […]
River Rafting and Volunteer Consulting
“I met this guy on a water taxi”, my friend John said. “He’s starting a business with bamboo rafts on a river. He asked me if I would like to go rafting with him one day and be very critical about the experience. That’s when I thought I should ask you guys.” It took us […]
Volunteering in a shark tank to save the reef
(This is #2 of a series of tongue-in-cheek articles about my work for the Coalition to Save our Natural Heritage in Belize. The last one described how I became a propagandist and outlined the build-up to the People’s Referendum on offshore oil drilling. This one is a first person account of how I was kicked […]
Official Video: A day on beautiful Caye Caulker, Belize, Central America
In december, Holger facilitated a strategic workshop with the Caye Caulker chapter of the Belize Tourism Industry Association. The workshop focused on sustainable tourism development, segmentation of the tourist market and marketing techniques. The marketing angle of the workshop could be summed up by saying: “What tourists do we want on Caye Caulker and how […]
72 hour offer: All you need to know to travel and be free
I have never advertised anything on this blog before. But I just bought this package (I wouldn’t invest the 1000 dollars it usually costs … ) of books and courses and love it. So I thought I’d share – I am sure some of you out there are looking for exactly this combination of blogging, […]
