自我介绍
I live in Namibia on a ranch (farm) just north of Windhoek. I operate a guest farm for overnight and wild life based activities like game drives, horse riding and hiking trails. I am born in Namibia and grew up here on this farm (ranch). I have been in Europe ( Germany and France) for educational and later work purposes. I am prepared to answer any other question or give information if of interest. The farm ( ranch) was a cattle farm which I converted into a more environmental friendly game farm which is more natural and better adapted to our climate. I like nature and animals very much. If I travel I like to have access to wifi, if possible continental breakfast but as I do not come from a luxury country I am easy to handle. As electrical engineer I like and need technology as on a farm there are many technical problems to be solved. I like to manage this piece of land in as natural as possible way, follow natural laws and cycles as good as possible but at the same use modern technology to help me to full fill this task. I do like good food. I do not like noisy places. In terms of hospitality my aim is : to make other people enjoy nature based activities, good food, so that they enjoy their stay as much as possible. My life motto is: I always try my best but I know that the results might not always be the best.
