Because I'm german sometimes it happens that I find myself indeed in Germany. :) It's not because I don't love Germany that I spend so much time abroad but just because the world is to big and interesting to stay at home.
Though I normally live in Bochum/Herne now (right now I'm living in Townsville, QLD) home is still where I grew up, in beautiful Plettenberg the Village of Four Valleys in the hills auf the Sauerland!
It's not very touristic there, I don't know why. But if you like walking, hiking, biking this is a beautiful place to be!
what was it like, the sauerland in the 80's?
