We offer friendship and skills for food and accommodation in the Caribbean

We are two German doctors and are traveling around the world since Easter 2000.
The length of our trip was made possible by many friendly helpful people and friends we met on our way - and by various ways of being helpful in exchange for accommodation and food.

Some of our skills could be of help for you - especially if you consider that our local services are mostly compensated in a non-monetary way such as lodging, food, diving... or whatever seems appropriate at the place you live...

What we offer - and to whom:

Divemasters barter for food & accommodation
Dive Shop:

- We are both PADI Divemasters with an experience of several hundred dives each.
- Among others we have divemastered driftdives in Tenggol, Malaysia and wreckdives in the WW II- wrecks of Coron, Philippines.
- Our medical and counselling background provides the comfort beginners need to feel the fun of diving.
- We'd like to accept the next good offer to participate at the IDC.
- We travel with ABC- equipment and will need all additional diving equipment from the dive shop.

Sailor:

If you're sailing the oceans and are looking for crew, we might be the right companions for you.
Not so much because of our still minor sailing skills, but maybe because of other advantages we provide:
- maybe it's a good idea to have a yacht's medical equipment professionally checked or to have MDs on board
- Astrid is a good cook
- We're both divemasters so if you are a diver yourself, you will always have a buddy on board
- As MDs we're used to taking responsibility and nightshifts
- Design the yacht's website
- We speak German, English, French fluently, our Spanish gets better day by day
- We know about life in the tropics
- We're easy to get along with and our social skills should help to maintain good spirits on board, especially on longer turns

Patient:

If you want to travel the (sub-) tropics but don't like to do so without medical attendance, we might be the right doctors for you.
Being specialised in rehabilitative medicine, MArtin would be the right partner to care for handicapped Co- travelers, whereas Astrid can be helpful by doing acupuncture.
We are used to adapt to other people's need while traveling in company.

Do German speaking people find the german written parts of your website - and do German search engines list them correctly?

We are used to publish and optimize websites for German search engines, know which keywords are likely to be searched for and how to target your homepage.

Digital Photos

We took harddrives full of digital pictures from (sub-) tropical motives and regions all over the world:
Nature, landscapes, buildings, beaches and what not else.
If you need a photo with a tropical motive - we just might have it in our digital photo stock (or make it).
Maybe you already find what you need by browsing through our pages - if not, you're more than welcome to

Tropical Photos

Why are we so affordable?
Because we just want to keep traveling at low pace - offering friendship and skills as a way to get by -
and all we really need is an internet connection.

So where are we?
2007 we will be travelling in the english and french speaking Caribbean, mostly Barbados.
To find out where exactly we are at the moment, just move your cursor over the turning globe on home.
