I grew up in a German mountain village near the former boarder to Austria in the shadow of the Karwendel mountainrange (Austrian part of the Alps).
 At the age of 12 years I made my first alpine climb with mothers clothes line, it was the start of an outdoor-lifetime passion.
 At the age of 20 I was an ambitioned and succesful sports climber. With 30 I repeated all classical extreme ice- and rock routes in the Bolivian Andes, further realized a big number of difficult first ascents.
 Back home in Germany I became homesick at home and every day one desire got stronger, so strong that it became to a matter of fact, a part of me: "Go back to Bolivia and find your own way".
 The consequence: I moved to Bolivia and became a professional adventure-trips organisator there.
 Never mentioned but a matter of fact is that most of all expeditions would be impossible without the help of native Indians and their cargo animals. Within years of patient teamwork and, as a side effect, learning about Indian way of life, I became, step by step, an accepted member of Indian society. Hidden behind a rough surface I experienced the most human people I ever met.
 Today it means more than a job for me to arrange multicultural and human tours - it is the expression of my lifestyle.
