ello, my name is Gerhart Wittwer, and here is a little bit about myself:

     I was born in 1954 and raised in Germany. There had been since a certain restlessness in me since I was a teenager. There was not really anything in particular that I was intensely interested in other that meeting people and seeing other countries and cultures. I had no particular goal either, other than a general interest in what was going on in life and a type of desire I had since I can remember, which was to get to the bottom of things. This would show in actions like taking apart clocks etc. And putting them back together again or in conversation with friends where I was always interested to find out what was underlying a particular problem.

     I traveled at an early age, 17/18 to the USA and at the age of 21 undertook an extensive spell of travel around Europe and then back in Germany. I decided to migrate to Australia.
