TRUE STORIES · THREE COUNTRIES · ONE JOURNEY

How It All Began

Our original plan was simple.
Life had other ideas.

Instead of following a predictable path, we found ourselves building flower farms, crossing continents, reinventing ourselves in unfamiliar countries, and collecting stories that were simply too absurd to be fiction.
If we had made them up, nobody would have believed us.

So we wrote them exactly as they happened.
Those adventures became this trilogy.

THE TRILOGY

Three Countries. Three Decades. Zero Regrets.

Join us on our true journey through Jamaica, Turkey and Mexico—a life filled with adventure, hard work, unexpected setbacks, and unforgettable encounters.

BOOK ONE · 2024

Jamaica – No Problem!

My Crazy Job in the Caribbean

Fresh out of horticultural college, Andreas trades the quiet of southern Germany for a rose farm in the Jamaican mountains.
A tropical adventure begins where nothing works as expected, yet everything somehow comes together.

BOOK TWO · 2025

Turkey – Problem Yok!

Our Crazy Job in Anatolia

A job in Turkey brought sunshine, hospitality and adventure — but also opened the door to a world of bureaucracy, cultural surprises, unforgettable encounters and incredible stories.
A true journey filled with humor, chaos and unexpected moments — so unbelievable, you could hardly make them up.

BOOK THREE · 2026

Mexico – Ay Caramba!

Our Crazy Job in Central America

Mexico welcomed us with ancient traditions, warm hospitality and a few surprises we never saw coming. What began as another overseas adventure, soon led us into a world of unexpected challenges, hidden stories and encounters that felt more like a crime novel than real life.
A new chapter full of humor, suspense
and unbelievable moments — and all true.

THE AUTHORS

Andreas Veit & Connie Neck

What began with a one-year contract in Jamaica, turned into decades of unexpected projects, new countries, and stories that were simply too unbelievable to invent. Jamaica, Turkey and Mexico became more than places on a map—they became home, classrooms, and endless sources of inspiration.
Today we live in Costa Rica’s beautiful Orosi Valley, where we run a small country inn, welcome guests from around the world, and continue writing about the unforgettable moments that happen when life refuses to follow the original plan.
Our books are not travel guides. They are true stories about taking chances, making mistakes, laughing anyway, and discovering that the best adventures usually begin with the words:
“Why not?”
