Dutch Bacon and Eggs

'When you're in my house you shall do as I do and believe in who I believe in.

So Bart, butter your Bacon!' - Homer Simpson

A couple of weeks ago I informed you about my 'poor' job situation in my 'motivation' post. Today I am proud to tell you that a lot of changes occurred and that I have a plan, as far as plans work in my life, but that's another story. 

So, what am I doing? What is my secret to eternal happiness, millions of euros on my Swiss bank account and international fame.....? Mmmm, I have to disappoint you here, no secret and no heaps of money to make me a 'forever traveller'. No. 

• I started my own company: Bacon and Eggs Tours 

Yes, I am allowed to put that in the middle of this post. This is my 'plan', the next best thing, the man in my life, my love at first sight.... my way to become a professional traveller. 

Apart from the fact that I absolutely love, love, love Bacon and Eggs and believe this should be the only legal breakfast around (at least on Sunday), this is the name of my baby company that has absolutely nothing to do with this awesome food. Bacon and Eggs Tours will organise and guide small group tours in New Zealand and Europe. 

Bacon and Eggs Tours

What will Bacon and Eggs do? Aren't there enough tour companies around already? Of course I did some research on this to make sure I have the opportunity to provide a product that is not around already. Nowadays this is quite difficult as every person with an idea has the opportunity to register this and start a new company. Therefore, I have another motto: Fun, Personal Service and an Awesome holiday experience! 

As I have been working for one of these 'bigger' tour operators in New Zealand I have seen the commercial side of it. These tours are great and cool but have 45 people on a bus with fixed photo stops and hostels in destinations where all the other bus companies go to as well. All good and well but this is not what I want for my 'fellow-travellers' all the time. Bacon and Eggs will have a maximum of 10 people and 2 guides that will show New Zealand in its most purest and most awesome form in a 25 days tour. With the start in Auckland we will travel to the Bay of Islands, down to see the North Island, go South from Wellington and stay in some crazy beautiful places.

As I stayed in hostels and have seen many travellers camping on the best places in the country I decided that Bacon and Eggs will have a combination of hostels and camping places. New Zealand is a wonderful country with a very rich culture most tourists do not see anymore. I decided to go camping as this is an opportunity to sleep, and even more, wake up in a breathtaking environment that will make your day just wonderful. With 45 people I would never have been able to give them a personal experience and information about the country. 10 people will give me the possibility to individualise the tour and make it an unforgettable experience. My love for this country is my motivator in this all and I just want the people, who decide to travel with me, to experience New Zealand just a little different. The whole story on how Bacon and Eggs came to life in the lovely city of Berlin you can find on my website www.baconandeggstours.com. So, now I have revealed my secret, my way to live an awesome life and travel with amazing people in my favourite country. 

Will I get rich from this??? To be honest: I Do Not Care. This is not the reason I am doing this, I am just not willing to give up my dream to combine the two things I love most: New Zealand and Travelling

My Berlin Kitchen

In my creative hour I decided to check various dictionaries on the definition of 'Kitchen'

Mac Dictionary

kitch.en |ˈki ch ən|

noun

a room or area where food is prepared and cooked.

The Free Dictionarykitch-en a. a room or part of a building equipped for preparing and cooking food
The Cambridge Dictionary kitchen a room where food is kept, prepared and cooked and where the dishes are washed
Why in the world would I check the definition on such an 'object'? 
Cause I have been living in my new apartment in Berlin for three weeks without a kitchen and today I received a happy phone call that tomorrow my kitchen will be installed :) I am definitely a disaster in the kitchen but having a place to wash the dishes, except from the bathtub, would be nice :)
