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. -

1 Jahr später: das Ende der sinnvollen Reise (?) Versuch einer Abrechnung
Ready to GoHallo Leute, zuerst einmal unsere Entschuldigung, dass es hier so lange nichts zu Lesen gab. Wir haben ein großes Geheimnis daraus gemacht, wann und ob wir nach Deutschland zurück kommen, um Kerstins Papa zu seinem Geburtstag zu überraschen (gelungen!). Wir sind seit Anfang Juli wieder in Deutschland und stecken bis über beide Ohren in 1. […]
Action at Mama Noots
A few weeks ago when Hendrik was visiting, we took him around the country. Amongst other places, we got to spend a night at Mama Noots Eco Lodge down south. A beautiful and well run little off-the-grid lodge, Mama Noots is located in the Bocawina National Park of Belize. It’s home to the longest zip […]
Tip: Rainbow Hotel, Caye Caulker, Belize
A little while ago, our friend Ernesto from Rainbow Hotel invited us over to spend a weekend at his hotel. Rainbow is situated centrally on the little island of Caye Caulker (which is definately one of my favorite spots in Belize). It lies right on the main beach front street, close to restaurants and supermarkets. […]
River Rafting and Volunteer Consulting
“I met this guy on a water taxi”, my friend John said. “He’s starting a business with bamboo rafts on a river. He asked me if I would like to go rafting with him one day and be very critical about the experience. That’s when I thought I should ask you guys.” It took us […]
AC/DC und ein Klavierkonzert
Ich bin keine sonderlich musikalische Person. Ich habs probiert. Wirklich. Von Glockenspiel (ja, ich bin das Kind dem in der zweiten Stunde der Schlaeger abgebrochen ist und nie ersetzt wurde…) ueber Floete (im zweiten Jahr habe ich angefangen das Mundstueck zu zerbeissen um mich um die Stunden zu druecken…), Klavier/Keyboard (ich war so gut, dass […]
AC/DC vs. Piano in the City
I’m not a very musical person. It’s not that I haven’t tried. From lessons playing the glockenspiel (yes, I’m the kid whose drumstick broke in week 2 and never got replaced…) to the flute (in year 2 I started biting on the mouthpiece, hoping it would break and I could sneak out of classes…), piano/keyboard […]
5 things to bring when you travel to Belize
That's what it looks like after 2 hours of snorkeling and not noticing that your shirt was a few inches displaced...I have been in Belize for the better part of a year now. I arrived with a backpack full of things that I didn’t need or that I could’ve easily bought here. A few things I brought proved to be very valuable. For the rest I just begged visiting friends. Here are the 5 things […]
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 […]
