His work in a tourism enterprise opened the best possibilities of realising his passion for travel. A dream came true. Once in a lifetime to Canada.
After few months in the Yukon he was fascinated, lost his heart and soul to this beautiful Country. The longing after untouched nature, wilderness, peace, adventure and freedom never left him. He achieved another dream. He build a log house at Mayo lake and lived for 10 years with his wife and two dogs in the true wilderness. Summer and winter, without power, running water, neighbours. Living the day to day life in the bush.
On and off he has been guiding for almost 30 years. He travelled thousands of kilometre by canoe. He visited all communities in Yukon. Still he likes adventure, the challenge and sharing his vast experience and knowledge with visitors from around the world. To tell people more about the Yukon he writes a free Yukon-Newsletter. (At the moment in German only) His interests are: Yukon History, reading, writing, photography, canoeing, fauna, flora, outdoor-survival, hunting & fishing, geology.
Since 5 years he and his wife Gaby are living near Whitehorse.
