During 5 months in summertime I (still!!) work in Germany as an expert for motor vehicles. The other 7 months of the year I spend in Brazil, mainly in Noronha. In the 80ies I started traveling - first along south-eastern Asia as far as Papua Neuguinea. Later, I spent the better part of the winter months at the Philippine islands, however visiting also some other countries, mainly in south-eastern Asia, Africa, the Caribbean and Latin America. In 1989 I put my first step on Brazilian ground (visiting the carnival in Rio de Janeiro). I fell in love with the country and its people, and slowly started to substitute Asia with Brazil as my preferred holiday option. In the late 90ies, destiny made me visit Noronha. Immediately I was in love with the island and a few days later with one of its women, Beré, who I married in 2001. Since that time I own the Brazilian "Permanencia" (permit of residence) and a "Carteira de Morador" for Fernando de Noronha (making me the only German inhabitant). My Hobbies: traveling and sailing ... and traveling by sailing boat --- above all with my son Max.
I'm known as Beré (spoken 'Beree'). I was born in Fernando de Noronha. When I was 3, my father, who was working for the army, was transfered to Humaitá in the middle of the amazonas region. I had a beautiful childhood in the nature and when I was 8 my father was transfered again, this time to Brasilia. I spend my adolescence there and when I was 17 years old, by daughter Gabriela was born. Then, three years later, I came back to Noronha. I was working in the kindergarden 'Bem me quer' as a teacher until I met my husband in 1999. In 2001 we got married in Denmark. During (European) summertime we live in Munich where I participated in several German language courses. During (European) wintertime we are living in Noronha, where our son Maxi was made in 2003 in a little cave by the sea.
Currently we are planning to build a house for us with a restaurant next to it, in my piece of land on the island. I hope that will allow us to stay in Noronha all year round in the future. My hobbies: children, especially my son Maxi and my daughter Gabriela and swimming, especially with our dolphins.
I was born in Brasilia and came to Noronha, when I was three years old. I went to the kindergarden 'Bem me quer' and now I visit the island's school 'Escola de Arquipelago'.
I've been to Germany once, during my school holidays in December and January 2003, shortly after my little brother was born. I liked it there, especially the skiing. I'd like to go once more, but when I have long holidays, my father in law is in Brazil. During the time when my mom and Maxi are in Germany, I'm living together with my grandparents.
At home, I help my mom a lot with the housework. Afterwards I enjoy going to the beach to play with my little brother, or for swimming or surfing. In February the international surf championships take place at the Casimba do Padre and I'm already looking forward to that. The whole island is crowded with surfers and there's a lot of things going on. I want to be a model, however, that would mean leaving Noronha.
My hobbies are surfing (like all teenagers here), music, dancing and capoeira.
I was made in that cave. On the right side in the photograph - that's Mimi - my granny - and on the left is my mom. In my mom's belly I flew to Munich, where I was born in the women's hospital, Maistrasse. I liked Germany, especially the mountains in wintertime. Later I came to Noronha - that was cool. Because I liked it so much, my dad told his boss that he prefers going barefooted to the beach with me than driving to work in a Mercedes and that he cannot work so much because I'm to be raised in Noronha. We sold the apartment my dad had bought just before I had been born. Even though I really liked my room with all the bears at the wall and the floor, but the beach is even better. These days I get surfing lessons at the Praia de Boldró from Gerson - a friend of my dad. I'm already able to swim. Sometimes I come with my dad to Recife, where we have an apartment. That's nice, as well. My dad says, when I'm older I'm going to be a pirate ... or I'm going to be a skiing professional. I did skiing already - in summer at a glacier in Austria. Maybe we'll start a Brazilian skiing team and join the Olympic winter games. My hobbies are playing, especially in the sea, dipping , surfing, sailing, horseback riding and capoeira.
I was born in João Pessoa. My master has been searching a long time for a dog as a Christmas present for his son Maxi. As soon as he saw me he said "Bingo" - and that's how I got my name. As I was still a little puppy of 3 months, we first had to go to the veterinarian for vaccination. Then we went directly to Recife and had to go to such a stupid office - otherwise I wouldn't have been allowed to come to Noronha. Wow, that flight was exciting - I even was allowed to leave my cage, because the stewardess thought I'm so cute. At Noronha, everybody was so happy about me coming. What I am doing all the time? I love to run away from home and stole over the island. For that reason I once had to stay on the chain for a while; well, in particular because I managed to catch a bird at the Praia do Sueste - the IBAMA didn't like that. Sometimes, my masters lock me inside the house, when they don't want me to join them. That's so unfair, especially when they even go to the Bar do Cachorro (Dog's bar). I cannot understand why I am not allowed to join; I'm a dog, ain't I? Apart from going with my friend Maxi to the beach my Hobbies are: straying, barking at Tourists (but only the bad ones), hunting horses and good food - in particular in the Flamboyant (not so much at home!). Woof, woof, woof.
