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.

How to get hammered when you’re traveling
Holger in a closed Circuit, 2003, Cairns, AustraliaTravel is all about experiencing places, cultures and people from different vantage points. Depending on your personal way of life, your knees may be one of these vantage points. Getting hammered when traveling is a problem though, because it makes you vulnerable – and as a traveler or backpacker you may already be a target, [...]
How to treat your regular taxi driver
Taxis (green license plate) waiting. Belize, Central AmericaWhen you’re living abroad, you may find yourself in a situation where you can’t walk around at night. Or not at all. Like in Belize City. But even when we were still back in Germany, I had regular taxi drivers that would take me to the airport or train station a couple of times per [...]
Wie man seinen Taxifahrer behandeln sollte
Wenn man in einem fremden Land wohnt ist man öfter mal in der Situation, dass man nicht einfach loslaufen kann abends nach der Party. Oder vielleicht gar nicht los laufen kann. Wie in Belize City.
