About Marina:
In a world where you can be everything.
Be nice 🏵️
My Name is Marina I'm 30years and maybe on my biggest adventure in my life.
I'm born in Germany in a small village as a small sister I had a sheltered childhood in the countryside and I am very grateful for it.
I did an apprenticeship in gastronomy in Germany and then worked for more than 10 years with pleasure in this industry whether in high class hotels small restaurant big cities on land or water.
For me, the biggest enrichment was getting the insight into a great world with food and drink and dealing with new people every day some were a gift some more of a task.
Traveling has always given me a lot of pleasure and the most beautiful were the trips in which you got to know new people and cultures because only the people make a place what it really is.
The curiosity about life and what it has to offer became bigger and stronger so I decided to break out of everyday life to find out luckily not alone.❤️
And so here I am Ready for something new 🦋

About Andreas
I was born on a Monday in the beginning of 1987, in Windhoek, Namibia at 8 a.m., ready to see the wonders of the world J. I grew up with my brother Lorenz and loving mom & dad.
School to me was very quickly too much of a “system of memorizing and repeating”, parrot fashion-like. So, I went to work with my hands & feet after finishing my high school diploma (abitur). I did my apprenticeship in the Hotel Bareiss in the south of Germany. After working in hospitality in the Black Forest Germany for 10 years, I decided to travel & work.
I am eager for adventures as part of self-responsibility. Working while traveling is essential including the exchange of knowledge, views and how to enjoy life. Never wanting to stop learning, I want to learn skills that I am not used to, jump into new things and try them, by that acquire the unknown.
I am travelling with my companion Marina (big panda & small dragon). I want to walk the path ahead of me together with her, looking in the same direction. We are open minded and curious where it will take us.
My “wonders of the world” (as I mentioned in the beginning) are nature and its animals. My focus/interest is the interaction between nature & humans and how to find the balance of everyone’s interests.
