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. -

Bird watching: Toucan invasion!
Belize has a national animal (Tapir), a national tree (Mahagony), a national flower (Black Orchid) and a national bird (Keel Billed Toucan). I was able to scratch Tapir, Mahagony and Black Orchid off of my list months ago, shortly after getting here. But that Toucan … just didn’t want to show! And it’s not like [...]
Videoblog: A day in the aquarium / Ein Tag im Aquarium
Our friend Frank celebrated his birthday with us in Belize. Usually he goes to visit an aquarium on his birthday. Since there are no aquariums in Belize, we did the next best thing: We threw him into one. First we flew him over to Ambergris Caye on a little Cessna plane. We were met by [...]

Für andere musste man erst 4, 8 oder 12 Meilen unbefestigte Wege durch den Dschungel fahren. Man schafft ca. 4 Meilen pro Stunde – also schnelle Geh-Geschwindigkeit. Meine [...]
