Description
We like to travel and get in contact with people who are full of respect and love for the wonder of life. Our life brought us through many stations now to a small town in the north of Germany, where we both live after letting go our house in a small village nearby.
Everything we get we see as a gift from God in whom we believe in - so it is with our partnership which we enjoy since now over 14 years
We try to use circumstances of life as chances for growth and hope we will never loose our sense for humor and laughter.
We enjoyed a 11 months journey with our (Blue Wonder-) Camper to Turkey in 2022/23 and came back with a lot of wonderful experiences also with workaway stays.
