Brigitte is a graduate of the University of Applied Arts in Vienna and Otto graduated from the Medical Faculty of the University of Vienna. Otto spent time as postdoctoral fellow in Sutton, U.K. and in Toronto, Canada. 
During summer time Brigitte and Otto, both in their late sixties, cater for bicycle tourists in the Wachau Valley in Austria. When in October the weather gets colder there while it is still pleasant on the Greek Islands they take their guests for walks on the Cycladic Islands of Santorin, Naxos and Paros followed by a bath in the sea and a meal in a typical Greek Tavern.
