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. -

Flea market season | Flohmarktsaison
When we moved to Frankfurt in 2006, we merged our two student flats. Back then, we had a lot of stuff. We have a lot more now. Most of the stuff we have, we consider dead weight that makes us slow, so we’re selling almost everything of it – on ebay, amazon and by going […]
Belize is hell … or is it?
I just stumbled upon a blog article by a bloke who spent 2 weeks in Belize city in 1983 entitled Two weeks in hell. Belize City, Belize. Quote: The “city” in Belize City is a scandalous misuse of the word “city”. From now on I will refer to the place as “Belize Shithole” as this […]
April: No spend month / Konsumverweigerung
Wir haben vor einiger Zeit in einem Blog über ein Experiment gelesen, in dem eine Familie sich selbst einen “No-Spend-Month” auferlegt hat. Wir wollten das schon eine Weile mal selbst machen – und nun ist ja die beste Gelegenheit: Schließlich wollen wir unsere Dinge dezimieren, nicht auffüllen. Und wir müssen sparen. Also: April ist No […]

From Kiev with love
Kerstin and I took a weekend to visit two friends of ours in Kiev. Uwe and Denis are both professional photographers, so we took our new photo gear hoping they would teach us some of the basics we are still missing. The both very patiently showed us how stuff works and I am sure we […]
Vaccinations and medical prep
Vaccinations Yesterday we had an appoinrtment with a specialist for tropical disease and inoculation. We’re both still pretty flu-shaken, but we still went for a prep talk. Here’s what we need for Belize: Yellow Fever Rabies (3 shots) Hepatitis A+B Tetanus I knew the guy from 2003 when I was about to embark on 6 […]
Playing with the camera
So we’re both sick at home with the flu and trying to make the best of it. We went for a little walk today to play around with the new camera equipment. Slowly getting the hang of it (even better now that Dennis explained to me what the difference is between AF and Servo-AF…. ;-) […]
