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. -

Official Video: A day on beautiful Caye Caulker, Belize, Central America
In december, Holger facilitated a strategic workshop with the Caye Caulker chapter of the Belize Tourism Industry Association. The workshop focused on sustainable tourism development, segmentation of the tourist market and marketing techniques. The marketing angle of the workshop could be summed up by saying: “What tourists do we want on Caye Caulker and how [...]
Photo blog: Caye Caulker askew
I’ve been to Caye Caulker a lot lately, working on a promotional video for the BTIA, taking and editing thousands of high resolution, colorful postcard photos of Caye Caulker. In fact, it’s hard to take a picture there that does not look like a typical postcard. To give my brain and eyes and trigger finger [...]
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! [...]
Photo Blog: A week on Tobacco Caye
There are about 450 sandy islands on the Belize Barrier Reef off the caribbean coast of Belize. Belizeans call them ‘cayes’. We have a steady relationship with the two big ones, and I’d say that we’re on Ambergris Caye or Caye Caulker almost every other week. While those two are our steady cayes, we had [...]
Video: Kayaking around Caye Caulker – with a meaning! // Sinnvolles Paddeln in Caye Caulker
We took Frank and Jörg over to Caye Caulker for a day on the Caye shortly after they got here. There’s a gazillion providers who offer kayak trips on the cayes in Belize. But through Norbert’s Globotreks.com blog post “Kayaking with Purpose” I had learned about a very special trip: For a donation, you can [...]
Workshop auf Caye Caulker, blaues Auge auf Ambergris Caye
Anfang Dezember wurde ich nach Caye Caulker eingeladen um dort einen strategischen Workshop mit dem lokalen Ableger des Tourismusverbandes zu moderieren. (Achtung – Consulting Blabla. Wer nicht regelmäßig bullshit bingo spielt sollte nun bis zu den Photos weiterscrollen) Beim Workshop ging es darum, aus deren bereits gemachter SWOT-Analyse konkrete Projekte und Arbeitspakete abzuleiten. Die Basis [...]
Workshop on Caye Caulker, Black Eye on Ambergris Caye
Early in december I went over to Caye Caulker to facilitate a strategic workshop with the Caye Caulker Branch of the BTIA. (Consulting blabla following – scroll down to the photos if you don’t play bullshit bingo regularly.) This strategic workshop was all about using their SWOT analysis (which they had already done before) as [...]
Photo blog: Flying through the Air in Belize
Cangrejo CayBelize has a multitude of little sand islands, called cayes along its coast. The smaller cayes are nothing more than a pile of sand on some coral while the biggest one (Ambergris Caye) spans 40 by 1.6 km in size. Ambergris Caye is the most developed tourism destination in Belize with a big expat community [...]
