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 [...]
Public Mass Shaving for Cancer Awareness
At the end of august, Kerstin and I met Belize’s first lady for the first time. OK, we didn’t really meet. Nobody introduced us. But we were at the same party she was at. That’s her, Kim Simplis-Barrow, below all the way on the left. The little girl next to her is her daughter. I [...]
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 [...]
Orange Walk Town, La Milpa und Chan Chich
Wenn mich jemand fragt, ob mir Belize gefällt, ist die Antwort immer gleich: “Ich liebe es! 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 [...]
Orange Walk Town, La Milpa and Chan Chich
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 [...]

Birds, Flowers, Maya: The Lodge at Big Falls
“Bird watching is like watching paint dry, just not as exciting” I read in some blog the other day. Sums up what I thought about bird watching before we got to the Lodge at Big Falls and Rob Hirons took us around. Doing something is one thing – having someone show you how to do [...]
20. November 2011: Super Sprint Triathlon in Belize City
Sonntag Morgen, 4:30. Der Wecker reisst uns mit einem schrillen Prodigy Song aus dem Schlaf. Ich dachte immer, wenn beim Wecker eine 4 vorne steht ist man entweder Bäcker oder muss zum Flughafen. In den letzten Monaten habe ich aber gelernt, dass es doch einiges gibt, dass es wert ist, vor Sonnenaufgang aufzustehen. (Besonders solche Sonnenaufgänge [...]
