I grew up beneath colliery towers in the industrial heart of Western Germany the Ruhr. From 1970 onwards I thought studying in Berlin even more interesting than working in Westphalia. My job took me to different countries and I was lucky enough to meet quite some interesting people if in Indonesia, in the Ukrain, in Ethopia, in India or Vietnam. Since 2018 I am back home in the "basecamp" still travelling a bit. The travel blogs on South-East Asia and on Kerala so far are in German only. The 2021 Portugal blog soon to come will be in English as well. Promised!
