Hello, I’m Astrid …

Hi, I’m Herbert …

Myanmar 2018

… initially born in Thuringia I lived in beautiful Bavaria‘s countryside for 25 years, and have now been drawn back to the city. Cologne is my hometown since 2015 and I love this city.

I am a bicycle traveller and camping enthusiast, a sea air addict, a nature lover and in love with the world – it doesn’t always have to be far away. So I prefer to travel with my bike, tent and my darling Herbert. Just have a look at my Homepage.

On our cycling tours we always meet people who would also like to do something like that. What’s stopping you? Get on your bike and go!

Apart from hiking, there is no more environmentally friendly travel than moving forward on two wheels with your own muscle power – for me the most beautiful way to travel.

… in 1945 I saw the light of day in Cologne, Germany, and at the age of twelve I began traveling abroad independently of my parents.

The resulting passion for alternative, individual travel has continued well into retirement and has so far culminated 2011/12 in the longest of my bike treks along the Silk Road to Singapore – more about that and my other cycling adventures on my Homepage.

In 2001 I met Astrid and was able to successfully awaken her already dormant enthusiasm for bicycle touring.

In addition, I am an active hobby jazz musician, an enthusiastic skier and a proud family father and grandpa.
