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. -

Splashing around in Old Belize
A very unusual sunday. Doing nothing. Hanging around. Playing. Reading. Sleeping. I could get used to this! The other Challenges Worldwide volunteers text us in the morning if we want to come to Old Belize. It’s a restaurant/bar/mini museum with a sort of artificial lagoon to swim in. And it has a water slide. A […]
Notes from a voluntarily accidental, hopefully viral propagandist
(I waited to publish this tongue-in-cheek article for several reasons – this was written a few weeks ago when I was working 24/7 for the Coalition to save our natural heritage, a union of NGOs in Belize trying to fight oil drilling in Belize’s reef.) Wednesday, 2:05 pm, Propaganda Desk “Please report to the […]
Caracol – past bandits and through the mud to the Maya capital
Caracol was one of the largest centers of the Maya world during the classic period, covering an area of over 200 square kilometers. But that is not the first thing we heard about Caracol. The first thing we were told was that it is dangerous. Not the site itself really. But to get there. Thanks […]
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 […]
Happy Birthday Matthew aka Kid’s Birthday Party – Belizean Style!
Arriving at Goff's Caye
When I was a kid, we always went to the Lochmühle for my Birthday. The Lochmühle is a little theme park close to where I grew up. It had a few attractions like a tiny roller coaster, some trampolines and a big slide. But – more importantly – it has a lot of water. Kids […]
Public Mass Shaving for Cancer Awareness
At the end of august, Kerstin and I met Belize’s first lady for the first time. OK, we didn’t really meet. Nobody introduced us. But we were at the same party she was at. That’s her, Kim Simplis-Barrow, below all the way on the left. The little girl next to her is her daughter. I […]
Belize Red Cross move – from new to old
New building / neues Gebaeude
The Belize Red Cross is a Movement. And Movements move. In our case from office to office. To be more precise: From our ‘new’ building (rented from the Sisters of Mercy at St. Catherines Girl School; right at the ocean), to our ‘old’ building (burnt and restored after an arson attach in Decemeber […]
Trying to spark international solidarity to fight offshore oil drilling in the Belize Barrier Reef.
Hi folks, this is what I’ve been busy with the last week. Please take a minute to read and support us by clicking and sharing if you like! Thanks! Holger Last year, the government of Belize sold concessions to drill for oil to 18 oil exploration companies. They parceled the entire country behind closed doors. […]
