Behind The Scenes

This travelblog is my playground. I’m a professional travel expert – this is what I do best. But here no one pays me – this is just me and my thoughts.

I have worked in the travel industry since 2002. Most of the time as a product manager on Australia, New Zealand, Africa, Asia, USA and part of South America. That means a lot of traveling and a lot of research. I’m not a rookie – I know more about traveling than most people.

However this is NOT a travel blog about crazy off-the-beaten-track stuff.

It is NOT about crossing the Kalahari on roller skates.

It’s not about traveling for 3 years in a row living on a stone or selling your house and drive around the world in a campervan.

And it’s not about climbing the highest mountains or diving the deepest oceans.

There are excellent travel blogs out there for that.

I like what everyone else likes; good experiences, food, wine, nice hotels – and I’m not rich. I have to save my money go get these things when I travel. It’s matter of priorities….

I don’t count countries. I don’t believe that you’re more of an expert just because you’ve visited 70 countries. Who’s to say that those visits weren’t just overnight stop-overs on the way to somewhere else. One night in an airport hotel hardly makes you an expert.

I visit the countries I want to visit. And I very often go back to places I’ve been before as this allows me to dig deeper and learn more. That’s why I’ve visited Australia 15 times, New Zealand 5 times, South Africa 7 times, Botswana 3 times, USA 6 times, Thailand 8 times, Italy 7 times, UK close to 20 times – you get the picture.

I was born in 1974 and most of my summer holidays as a child was spent in the backseat of my parents old Opel while we drove around Europe. My dad was born just after World War II and I’ve seen every war cemetery and concentration camp in Europe. 6 months after the Berlin Wall came down we drove to Berlin and through the former East Germany into Poland. I bought my first backpacker when I turned 19 – and left to see the world. I have been traveling ever since.

There’s a bit about everything in here. One thing you won’t find much on is Australia. If you want to know more about that great continent take a look at my other blog for just that: www.talesfromaustralia.com.
