Globetrotting is in our blood. How else can one explain that we met and fell in love in the Caribbean, cemented our relationship during a journey through Australia, got married in Namibia, spent our honeymoon traveling in a 4×4 through Argentina and Chile and went on board a Russian icebreaker and travelled from Ushuaia to Antarctica. But all of this was just a prelude compared to our trip around the world from 2006 – 2013.
True, traveling is not just about education; it is also a virus that infected both of us! And it is still within us! That’s why we decided on another trip: the Bucket List Tour! This journey started in autumn 2017 and ended in Mexico in 2020 due to Covid. We didn’t ship Mahangu to South America as planned but to Walvis Bay, Namibia, where we have the Permanent Residence since many years. Here a new plan was needed.
In 2021 we bought a small town house outside of Swakopmund. We exchanged our house in Switzerland for a condominium in Kandersteg, in the Bernese Oberland. Since that time we have become Seminomads. Travel will remain a part of our lives; but we will bake smaller buns…
