About.

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

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

Land Rover Defender 6x6
Link to Foley

Principal vehicle is a Foley 6-Wheeled Land Rover Defender, which needs a lot of caring attention.

The idea, adventure, project had grown for many years, the feeling inside, the desire to leave and live a different life made it too easy to give up a job, give all other stuff away and hit the road. 22nd of June 2004.

Manfred is married to Moroccan Hasna, they have 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.

This is us.
