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. -

Caracol – past bandits and through the mud to the Maya capital
Caracol was one of the largest centers of the Maya world during the classic period, covering an area of over 200 square kilometers. But that is not the first thing we heard about Caracol. The first thing we were told was that it is dangerous. Not the site itself really. But to get there. Thanks [...]
Mit dem Speedboat durch den Dschungel zur Mayaruine Lamanai
Nachdem uns unsere Freunde vom Hotel de la Fuente in Orange walk bereits einen kleinen Vorgeschmack gegeben hatten, buchten wir direkt mit Frank und Jörg einen Bootstrip zur Mayaruine. Wir mieteten einen Wagen, fuhren von Belize City hoch nach Orange Walk (man muss um 9:00 morgens antreten!) und die Ausfahrt konnte beginnen. Für 100 USD [...]
Speed boat cruise through the jungle to Lamanai Maya site
We booked a Lamanai River cruise through the Hotel de la Fuente in Orange Walk after they’d shown us a little preview of what a river cruise like this would be like. So we took a car up from Belize City to Orange Walk (make sure you get there before 9 am!) and went on [...]

Tolle leute, tolles Wetter, immer was zu erleben.” Am letzten Wochenende im November hatten wir die Gelegenheit, eine Kombination aus allen diesen Dingen zu genießen. Dieser Post kommt mit einiger Verstpätung – was daran liegt, dass es in WordPress [...]

Whenever someone asks me how I like Belize I answer with a variation of: “Love it – great people, great weather, great trips into nature”. On the last weekend of November, we were able to enjoy a combination of all of the above. This is a long overdue post, largely due to the large amount [...]
Business Trip in Belize
Monday and tuesday this week I took a 4WD suzuki around Belize on a recycling trip. We met with 12 hotel owners and managers in Cayo. Some were easily accessible. To get to others you had to go 4, 6 up to 12 miles on an unpaved dirt road through the jungle. Fortunately we didn’t [...]
Geschäftsreise in Belize
Montag und Dienstag dieser Woche war ich mit einem Allrad-Suzuki unterwegs in Sachen Recycling. Wir sind 12 Hotels im Cayo District abgefahren. Einige lagen an geteerten Straßen. 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 [...]
