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 […]
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 […]
Videoblog: A day in the aquarium / Ein Tag im Aquarium
Our friend Frank celebrated his birthday with us in Belize. Usually he goes to visit an aquarium on his birthday. Since there are no aquariums in Belize, we did the next best thing: We threw him into one. First we flew him over to Ambergris Caye on a little Cessna plane. We were met by […]
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 […]
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 […]
The day I didn’t see the Black Hole Drop
Deutsche Version: Der Tag an dem ich den Black Hole Drop nicht sah. You see, the problem is the monkey. He lives inside of me. Whenever I stand close to an edge, try to make casual conversation on a balcony or attend a meeting in a modest all-glass meeting room on the modest 30th floor […]
