Expat from Duesseldorf/Germany who came to the Philippines in 1985 and lived in Manila for five years then. Originally a forwarder and Logistic Expert (DHL Management and later an own Company from 90-98) I made enough money to live comfy for the Rest of my days. I moved to Cebu 15 years ago and decided ( still young) to pass my idle time with my true love " Cooking". I run 2 Restaurants now and a Hotel Coffeeshop. Then I translate books for others into German, and because of my deviate love for the Sea I join deliveries of newly build ships to other places as part of the Crew. I used to own and sail Yachts and am licensed as skipper for up to 28 tons, in the Place I am living now AUSTAL build fast crafts and I join the delivery crews on voyages to often exotic places. Sort of a paid vacation for me. :-) And as if this is not enough, I also do volunteer work. I am a Commander of the Philippine Coast Guard Auxiliary, A Knight of Rizal, and a President elect of the Kiwanis Club of Cebu. Update May 2014- I be gone sailing again in the Pacific for a few months until March 2015 :-)
I joined expat.com on 16 February 2013.
