About.

Manfred is creator of ThisFabTrek.com, journey and photography, 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, vagabond, anarchist, healer, artist, writer, photographer, intellectual? Oh god dare you to think. YU?

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.

What has happened so-far?

  • 2009 - From to Bamako to Ouagadougou, then Ghana, Togo and Benin, via Niamey and Gao back to Bamako ...
  • 2008 - From Ouagadougou to Bamako, I fly to Vienna in Jan, and with my family back to Mali, then Senegal, Guinea Bissau. On my own I head south, pass Guinea into Sierra Leone, then Liberia, into Cote d'Ivoire and back to Bamako. Summer means touring Europe. Now back in Africa.
  • 2007 - Vienna, Austria, the birth of our twin boys Daniel and David, then the long way back down south (BDS) with the newborns, via the South of Italy, France and Spain to Casablanca, Morocco, on my won further to Mauritania, Mali, Guinea, back to Mali and down to Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.
  • 2006 - starts out in Segou, Mali and ends in Bamako, Mali and so much in between. Twice back to Vienna where we get married, twice back down south to Mali, a great festival in Essaouira, Morocco in June and the Guinea adventure at the end of the year.
  • 2005 - the remaining time in England (the 6x6 conversion) and the Africa journey - Morocco, Mauritania, Senegal/Gambia. In Morocco I meet Hasna, she comes along.
  • 2004 - all the travels in Europe, mainly England, Scotland, Ireland and the fact that I met Heidrun who made me come back to Austria for 2 month. She then came travelling with me - for a little while.
  • Preparation - The period in Vienna when I started cooking up the idea of leaving until the final step (early until 22nd of July 2004).
