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. -

Photo Blog: Eine Woche auf Tobacco Caye
Vor der Küste von Belize liegen ca. 450 kleine Sandinseln, genannt Cayes. Man könnte sagen, dass Kerstin und ich eine feste Beziehung zu zweien haben: Ambergris Caye ist eher eine Geschäftsbeziehung während Caye Caulker eine lange und verlässliche Liebe ist. Um Weihnachten rum hatten wir aber eine Affäre. Mit Tobacco Caye. Und es war super! [...]
