Travelling alone
My most important tip for decades: go alone. Even — and especially — as a woman. Anyone who travels alone gets spoken to, invited, gifted — not protected.
Travel
Fifty years on the road.
These are the themes and places that have shaped me the most. The detailed stories I tell in the blog — and on stage.
Themes
With family & small child
Children change travel, but don't make it smaller. How we were on the road with our son without shutting the world out for him.
In a rolling home
VW bus, 4x4, tent. What you can reach on your own axles, what you can't — and how the route itself becomes the destination.
Favourite regions
Tanzania
My second home. Porini — wilderness — with everything that comes with it: silence, weather, encounters, coffee from the farm I support.

Regularly on the ground for over ten years. Mountains, horses, the „Orthodontic Center of Osh“ — a project that has grown.
