Hello everybody, I am happy to be here today. What I want to share with you a concept that I call Charity Travel. It's actually very simple: the idea is to combine exciting traveling with simply doing something good.

Traveller können mehr als nur konsumieren.
Kann man die Welt mit Reisen verbessern? Klar, es gibt Exzentriker die einbeinig um die Welt hüpfen und wir dürfen dann pro Kilometer spenden. Oder reiche Philantropen die eine Armenküche auf dem Deck ihrer Yacht organisieren. Aber als Normalverbraucher? Neben Selbstverständlichkeiten wie ökologisch und sozial verantwortlich reisen können wir doch nicht viel tun, oder wir ...

Then I listen to an audiobook by Bill Bryson on the quirks of the English language, that will probably always remain a strange tool in my hands. I have to find the right pace and power ...
