Carsten Johow, chose to describe his life as adventurer, sailor, businessman and lately 3ZZZ German radio presenter. Carsten was our guest speaker at our Brighton Library Launch.
His first "overseas posting" was on the tiny island of Wangerooge, one of East Friesian islands, floating in the North Sea, just below Holland. Carsten went to school there.
And even though that was not far from his native Vegesack (near Bremen), coming from an island myself (albeit a North Friesian island, called Föhr, situated just below Denmark), I can assure you, islanders are first and foremost islanders. We view any mainlanders with a certain amount of suspicion!
