One day you'll wake up and you won't have time to do the things you've always wanted to do.
DO IT NOW !
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do.
And to all those who think:
I tell them: Wrong, you won't be able to do that in your old age. I speak from personal experience.
If there's one thing I regret it's that I started to travel too late in life!

All trips cancelled until further notice !
I get many requests from people who want me to be their guide on an expedition to Alaska or the Yukon.
Thanks for your trust, but I won't be able to travel for the next few years due to my mother's and my brother's health problems...
Family comes first !
Travelling will have to wait, I only have my mother and brother left...
My brother's health is getting worse and worse,
and it is not only very difficult for me to care for him properly, but it is also very stressful and starting to eat away at me.
And of course I still have to take care of my 88 year old mother, but that is the easier job of the two!
Luckily I have hobbies like amateur radio, microscopy and astronomy, so I can keep myself busy while looking after my brother!
I can tell you:
An expedition, no matter how difficult it may be, is easier to accomplish than taking good care of your seriously ill loved ones...

I miss traveling very mutch and get frustrated from time to time, but I am also glad that my mom and brother are still around, for that any hardship is okay...
What really gets me is the social pressure and lack of understanding from people here in Germany. It is so different from what I am used to in Alaska or the north of Canada. Instead of getting help or at least understanding, people put obstacles in your way whenever they can and contempt is never far away ...

It is only our family doctor who is a real blessing, he does everything in his power to help my brother and to make his life a little bit better!

The more I learnd about people, the more I like my dog.
I have studied the traits and dispositions of the "lower animals" (so called) and contrasted them with the traits and dispositions of man.
I find the result humiliating...
My dog Trixi is the best companion!
