"I organize private adventure tours since 1987. Basis for these trips is the principle of sharing the expenses. I always want to realize a cheap tour as an alternative to the commercial tour-organizations. For these trips I require travellers which want to be guests in my truck or such who want to ride their own motorbike or to drive their own 4wheel drive. And such who prefers a tour in a private environment than a trip with an avaricious moneymaker." In German, English, and Spanish.
