About.

Manfred and MB307
Journey to India.

Manfred is creator of ThisFabTrek.com, photography and journey, a travel blog (since 2004).

Understand and tolerate, report and photograph, enjoy and live - inhale different concepts of life (all that TV [and the web] cannot give). Reject jealousy, animosity, bigotry. Be free.

Manfred in the desert of the Western Sahara

The mind, when pondering at night has always asked those questions. What are you doing in corporate wonderland, banking, university, office, church. Who is the other animal asleep inside, thinker, punk, creative, cowboy, vagabond, anarchist, healer, artist, writer, photographer, intellectual? Oh God dare you to think.

So when he sees the gamble, manipulations and lies he follows the old old dream, sets out for this journey that is called life, explore the world traveling overland.

Manfred is father of twin boys, Daniel and David.

ThisFabTrek is ongoing. Photography and Journey, Story of Life Around the World, Music, Art, Festivals and Love and Peace. Photography and articles are for sale.

Won Tan Naara, On est ensemble. We are together.

How many times have I heard this, coming from deep inside a Guinean's heart.

Whereas the official motto is: Travail, Justice, Solidarité.

And there is another one - on school books you find:

Education: Pertinance, Equité, Competence.

Map of Guinea.

Entering from Guinea Bissau in April 2008. 3rd time back. Is this the last time?

  • 20080429 Conakry - Ballet Sanke, Friends and another Dance/Percussion Competition.

Back in October to December 2007.

November and December 2006.

Three weeks after I had left the country (2nd week in Jan 2007) a nationwide indefinite strike was underway, wich left hundreds dead.

It was all too peaceful when I was there -- with just rumors that something was in the making.
