We are Katrin and Phil, a German/English couple who moved to the beautiful island of Bornholm some 9 years ago, and established Bornholm’s first glamping site shortly after.
We are parents to 13-year-old twins Sammy and Jonas. Having spent life before children travelling the world to do long distance hiking and to lounge in hot springs, we now enjoy the ramble to our own river and down to the sea.
Phil is a keen naturalist who worked for the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB – Europe’s largest nature conservation charity) for over 20 years. Before spending 15 years working largely behind a computer trying to persuade the world to manage water more sustainably, he worked on nature reserves in wild corners of England and Wales. At last, he has found somewhere to practice his almost forgotten chainsawing skills! He has a keen interest in archaeology and offers guided trips during the season.
Katrin has been a university lecturer, cell biologist and a counsellor. She now works full-time as a lecturer at Bornholms Sundheds og Sygeplejeskole in Rønne. Her skills in lime plastering and washing are always needed at Stavehøl!
