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. -

Aber selbst als wir noch in Deutschland waren, hatte ich meine festen Taxifahrer, die mich zum Flughafen oder Bahnhof gefahren [...]
