About me:
A Fischkopp (fish head), born in Northern Germany, in "the land between the seas" with saltwater in my blood, but uprooted and raised in the country's midwestern industrial heart. Frequently suffering from travel bug. Spent eight years in Canada a.k.a. the best time of my life. Married to my soulmate (a.k.a. RolandM and occasional guest blogger).
My hobbies include riding motorised or pedal powered two-wheelers, hiking and RVing. A bit of an epicurean, I like a good and easy life and excellent food. Mostly vegan since 2012 but part-time pescetarian, when the craving for sushi overcomes me. When confined to indoors you'll likely find me in front of my computer blogging or reading blogs. I love the old fashioned way of reading (books), especially when the topics include traveling, but I don't mind a good mystery novel either. And depending on the time of the day, I'll have a cuppa tea or a glas of wine going with it. Interested in a variety of things such as geomorphology, archeology, palaeontology, politics, people, nature, cooking, health and life as it is. My motto: Life is good!
The beginnings (of this blog):
Summer 2009 found me unemployed and bored in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, so I procured a twenty year old Honda and went off into the sunset.
My first bike - July 2009

Fast forward to 2017... meanwhile I call a 'herd' of three bikes my own: a Vespa for commuting, a Sportster for European travels, and a Honda Shadow, meanwhile parked in Montreal in Toronto for road trips through North America, meanwhile sold due to lack of opportunity.
Update 2019: The herd has been thinned out since, the Shadow and the orange Vespa had been sold in 2017 but I still own the Harley, and ride the husband's red Vespa to work, which came along when we moved back to Germany in 2013.
Update 2020: In the meantime the Sportster has found a new home as well. Bella, the red Vespa is still with us, though.
