Teresa Beck

My name is Teresa "Joy" Beck, also called PRINCIPESSA.

My birthday is on 28 February 1975. Congratulations and gifts are always welcome!

What most excites me about life is the ability to travel the world!!

This space wouldn't be enough to tell you all the places I already have been to since the reunification of Germany! I guess it's not big enough either to mention all the places I am dreaming of still to visit! Here are just a few: New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, South and Central America, Ireland, Scotland, Southern Italy, ...

I am still looking for sponsors! Travel partners are welcome, too.

Hello my friends!

First of all I wanna thank all of you who thought of me on my special day and gave me your congratulations by phone, sms, email or letter! Thank you so much! It feels good to have true friends so far away that are thinking of me! The ones of you who forgot...you better hurry up and think of a good excuse!

My birthday weekend was great! I spent it with a friend of mine in a very nice 5*****hotel here in Mecklenburg. I had never stayed overnight in such an exclusive hotel but only worked in one (Ritz Madrid) as you may remember. So a dream came true! We had a very special travel agent discount offer for only EUR 55,00 per night per double room incl. breakfast, less than half of what it usually costs. On Saturday we played 4 hours of golf. We had a lot of fun! We were 4 people and had not any clue how to play it. Our balls went everyhwere but near the hole and we laughed a lot. But I got better once the pro taught me how to hold the club and do the "secret" swing and my best were 4 hits at par 3! Not too bad for a start. Today, 2 days later I am still all sore in my arms and back, so you see, I took it really serious:-)

Later we used the nice wellness area in the hotel with its swimming pool, steam bath and sauna. Our two new-made golfing friends joined us. At night my friend invited me to the most fancy restaurant of the hotel. We had a 6-course menu with a nice bottle of Robert Mondavi red wine from Chile and it was really delicious. We dressed up and felt very special.

Later we met our friends again in the piano hotel bar where we were sitting right next to the fire place and spending the last minutes of my birthday.

With lots of LOVE, Teresa Joy

FROM THEN TO NOW - ABOUT ME

I have studied over the past years Business Studies in Tourism in a small city called Kempten in Bavaria which most Americans believe that's all Germany is about.

But it isn't! I was born in Rostock, right at the Baltic Sea, in the nice state of Beck's Residence (© Johannes Beck) Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania which is situated in the north of Germany. We are the state less densely populated in Germany. We've got impressive sandy beaches, rocky cliffs, many wonderful blue lakes and much more. Pure and natural!

Now my parents are living in Wittenfoerden near Schwerin, the capital of our state famous for its beautiful fairy-tale castle. Here I used to spend Christmas, Easter and part of my vacation over the past years. Finally I can call this place my home as well. In August 2001 I started working at the German Incoming General Agent AG in Schwerin in order My home near Schwerin to receive the official Travel Agent license in June 2002.

From August 2000 to February 2001 I was doing an internship at a tour operator in Seattle, the Rain Capital of the USA located on the shores of Puget Sound. It's a great city with almost daily beautiful sunrises and sunsets and not really that much rain at all! The snow-capped North Cascades to the East, the Olympic Peninsula with its unique rain forest to the West, the Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument and the Mount Rainier National Park to the South and the tranquile San Juan Islands and exciting Vancouver to the North; what better destination one could wish?!!
