Manfred is creator of ThisFabTrek.com, photography and journey, a travel blog (since 2004).
I try to understand, report and photograph, enjoy, live and inhale different conceptions of life (all that TV [and the web] cannot give). I reject jealousy, animosity, bigotry. Be free!
The mind, when pondering at night had always asked those questions. What am I doing in corporate wonderland of bank, university, office or church? Who is the other animal asleep inside, the thinker, punk, creative, or Indian, vagabond and healer, maybe artist, writer, photographer and traveler? Oh God, dare you to think. So when seeing the lies, gambles and manipulations I followed my old dream and set out for the real journey, the one that is call life lived.
Many years later having lived that life on the road and taken the turns as they have come along, I have realized one thing: Only such a small part of the planet can ever be explored and such a vast land and sea mass will always remain unknown; many swamps, jungles, deserts and oceans I will never travel. I am father of twin boys, Daniel and David, my most important. ThisFabTrek is ongoing. Photography and Journey, Stories from the Road and Life around the World, Love and Peace.
Every truck needs a lady. The G20, the vehicle that came to me for the Americas adventures.
