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. -

Independent Media, independent journalists and The Independent
The Independent - Volume 1, week 1When we came to Belize, it took us a couple of weeks to find out that the media here are not independent.
