Carnevale di Venezia

Carnevale di Venezia, Italy

I’ve been to Venezia, Italy as a child with my father – but the first time I can really remember was when we returned guiding a tourist group at the time of the Carnevale di Venezia. A time when the city is especially crowded with tourists.

Cimitero di San Michele

Cimitero di San Michele, Venezia

Venezia, Italy is built in a laguna – with houses on wooden pillars. Where to have a graveyard in this situation? Venezia has an own island (San Michele) for this purpose and on this you can find the Cimitero di San Michele.

When I was young I was voluntarily working for nearly ten years for the youth organization of the German Socialdemocratic Party (SPD) – the Jusos. As they are a member of the International Union of Socialist Youth (IUSY) we went to the annual festival held this time in Malmö, Sweden.

First flight ever

Salt pans, Żebbuġ

Even if I don’t remember too many details of this trip I sometimes think about it – because it was my first flight ever. I went with my parents and a group of tourists to Valletta, Malta. While my mother was quite in fear because of her first flight experience it was an interesting start of a series of many flights for me.

Sur l’Ardèche

Pont du Gard, Vers-Pont-du-Gard

When I was young I was a member of the Göttinger Paddler Club (GPC) and had a lot of fun with using canoes on the Kiessee in Göttingen and on different rivers. But the best river was the Ardèche in France: not wild water, but something making more fun than a normal river.

Meeting with an elk

I discovered Sweden in a wonderful way: I went there with a group of young people from the youth of the Protestant church of my hometown. We were staying for a week at a typical house there – but most important, we went by canoe a long distance over endless lakes.
