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 [...]
Happy Birthday Matthew aka Kid’s Birthday Party – Belizean Style!
Arriving at Goff's CayeWhen I was a kid, we always went to the Lochmühle for my Birthday. The Lochmühle is a little theme park close to where I grew up. It had a few attractions like a tiny roller coaster, some trampolines and a big slide. But – more importantly – it has a lot of water. Kids [...]
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 [...]
Froher Australia Day!
Der 26. Januar ist der Nationalfeiertag in Australien. Auch wenn wir beide noch nicht zusammen dort waren (aber es ist weit oben auf der Liste!) – Holger war 2003 mal für ein paar Monate mit dem Rucksack dort. Hier als kleiner Gruß an die Australier und Australienfans ein paar Bilder auf 2003. Australien ist wunderschön. [...]
Happy Australia Day!
January 26 is the national holiday of Australia. We haven’t been there together yet (even though it’s pretty high up on the list), but Holger backpacked around there for a few months in 2003. As a shout out to all fellow Australians and Australia Lovers here are some pictures from Holger’s travels in 2003. Australia [...]
