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. -

Kerstin in da news
Kerstin in San Pedro Sun newspaperCommunity meetings are a main part of the Disaster Risk Reduction Project Kerstin is currently working in. For the latest community meeting in San Pedro the media was present as well. Yes, it is quite weird when there is a video camera put in your face for TV and you have to answer all kinds […]
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, […]
AC/DC und ein Klavierkonzert
Ich bin keine sonderlich musikalische Person. Ich habs probiert. Wirklich. Von Glockenspiel (ja, ich bin das Kind dem in der zweiten Stunde der Schlaeger abgebrochen ist und nie ersetzt wurde…) ueber Floete (im zweiten Jahr habe ich angefangen das Mundstueck zu zerbeissen um mich um die Stunden zu druecken…), Klavier/Keyboard (ich war so gut, dass […]
AC/DC vs. Piano in the City
I’m not a very musical person. It’s not that I haven’t tried. From lessons playing the glockenspiel (yes, I’m the kid whose drumstick broke in week 2 and never got replaced…) to the flute (in year 2 I started biting on the mouthpiece, hoping it would break and I could sneak out of classes…), piano/keyboard […]

Fuer unser “Saving Lives in the Caribbean Through Prepardness” Disaster Risk Reduction Projekt waren wir in den letzten Wochen in 8 Gemeinden unterwegs und haben die sogenannte “Baseline” Umfrage gemacht. Dabei werden 100 Haushalte aus allen Teilen der Gemeinde mit 32 […]
Surveys, surveys, surveys
Happy after a long day In order to measure the impact of a project you have to know what the basis is. For our “Saving Lives in the Caribbean Through Prepardness” Disaster Risk Reduction project we worked on exactly that in the past weeks. In all the 14 communitites we did the so called “baseline” survey to measure how well […]
7th Annual Outstanding Women’s Award in Belize City
On March 29th, the Women’s Department held its 7th Annual Outstanding Women’s Award in Belize City. All I can say is… WOW. You learned earlier already that I am fan of the Women’s Department and their amazing work. Not only for their 10 BZD (5 USD) manicure and pedicure events (which actually take place this […]
Belize Red Cross move – aus neu mach alt
Das Belize Red Cross ist eine Bewegung. Und Bewegungen bewegen sich auch ab und an. In unserem Fall von Container zu Haus. Genauer gesagt von ‘neuem’ Buero (von den Sisters of Mercy at St. Catherines Girl School gemietet; direkt am Ozean) zum ‘alten’ Buero (ausgebrannt und wieder aufgebaut nach einem Brandanschlag im Dezember 2010; immernoch […]
