Travelog for: Tiffy

Hello, world!

This is me, Tiffy!

Just born, I know my life´s work!

Enjoy my life and see how pretty the world is!

I have always a smile on my beak and I am sure, I will make you laugh

I am interested in everything what the people, I love, do.

Mum said, if I want to be a Toyvoyager it is necessary to measure and scale me exactly. Ok, it was a little bit embarrassing for me 
But what must be done, must be done!

Are you interested to show me your life?

Please feel free to contact my Mum, Yosemite!

Yours, Tiffy

Oh, what a day!

My first day as a toyvoyager and I got a invitation!

Mum said I need a passport. I had to sign it on my own. Hard work!

But I got it and I can start the next week! I am so excited and proud!

Yours, Tiffy

Hello world!

Last night I had a dream!

I sat in a little boat, feeled the wind in my feathers. I was on my way to find Erol the Pirat. And I found him, far away across the ocean!

He took me in his arms, and I gave him a kiss 

He is a very strong bear and he brought me to... just take a look for yourself 

But then I was disturbed ... it was only a dream 

I have only a cereal bowl with his picture on it.

Hope to meet Erol soon!

Dreaming Tiffy

Hello, world!

Tomorrow the adventure begins!
I will start my first trip! I am so excited! I will start tomorrow in the early morning, so I said goodbye to all plushies and to my dear parents.

The TVs cued up for huggies 

One last photo with my friend here, I am sitting on Knabber´s knee 

Then I checked the right position for my journey. It is better to go in first with the head 

Hostmum, I am coming!

Yours, Tiffy

Dear Mummy!
I arrived at my first host!!! I was so excited, sticking in the envelope and listening to the whispering voices out of it...I took heart, looked out of the envelope and saw a lot of friendly faces and a Welcome-Tiffy-sign!
I crawled out for watching closely and thought I was dreaming again: There was Erol!!! "Erol!", I shouted, but the pirate cleared his throat and said "No, I am Störte." First I was a bit disappointed, but in the course of the evening I realized that he is a very gentle, obliging and humorous pirate 
Störte said he is the TV of my host's husband, so we can spend a lot of time together...
I showed my little presents and everybody marveled especially at my identity card.
But due to all the excitements I got very tired and Störte and Claas the zebra allowed me to sleep on their knees...
Good night, Mum! Yours Tiffy

Dear Mum,
after a very relaxing night I got to know my host's other fellow occupants: three budgies and two old dog ladies. First I was a bit suspicious of the dogs, but Störte, the courageous pirate, told and showed me that the old ladies were very kind and gentle. I had the feeling that Trixi was even more timid than I...
At noon my host had to consult the veterinary surgeon with Trixi and I accompanied them. I was checked as well and the vet said I was an absolutely healthy seagull 
For the rest of the day I had a cosy meeting with my new friends and we told each other stories of our life...
Good night and best wishes, yours Tiffy

Dear Mummy,
today I escorted my host to work. She works as a social worker in an old people's home. We drove by bus, I didn't have to pay, seagulls are free, the bus driver said. I got a window seat and watched the countryside between the village Neuenbeken, where my hostmum lives and Paderborn city. Arrived at Paderborn unfortunately we had no time to visit the shops or something else, but my host promised me to go for a stroll soon.
Imagine, Mum, at work I got to know Mr. Adviser, A SEAGULL!!!
We talked about oceanography and our favorite sea food. Then Mr. Adviser introduced me to Greta the doll who works there as well.
After that I helped my host writing some important e-mails and letters 
Bye, Mummy, best wishes, yours Tiffy

Hi Mum, last Tuesday evening Störte invited me to an Indian restaurant in Paderborn city. After a few minutes we both found our favourite dishes: Gigantic shrimps and Rum.
Altogether we had a three-course meal and a liqueur to round off with. I enjoyed my first candlelight dinner with such a smart pirate very much 
Just before going home we found some very excellent Indian shoes and imagined to go on a romantic boat trip...
Bye bye, Mummy, yours Tiffy

Dear Mum, yesterday my host was invited to breakfast together with some of her friends and Störte and I accompanied her. I don't know what they would have done without us: I acted as an egg cosy and Störte opened the rolls.
By way of thanks three funny girls with heavenly voices serenaded us!
When it became boring Störte and I played hide-and-seek. Though Störte had good hiding places I discovered him every time!
Yours Tiffy

Dear Mummy, tomorrow Störte will start for a London trip for one week, so we said goodbye to each other and imagine, Mum, he kissed me  !
Claas promised to take care of me and to make some excursions with me, so the time won't become too long...
Yours Tiffy

Hallo Mummy, yesterday I accompanied my host to work again, this time by bike. I have to tell it to Störte when he is back, that I felt like a figurehead sitting right in front of the bike!
At work my host conducted a little music group, and imagine, Mum, they played and sang a song, changed just for me: "...blackbird, SEAGULL, finch and starling..."! And they allowed me to play myself.
One of the old ladies asked me whether she was allowed to hold me in her hands. Of course she was and so I was held by over ninety-year-old hands!
On the way back home we had a good view of Neuenbeken, my host's home village.
Back home Claas and I took the dogs out for a walk. I flew up to a shrub, forgetting Claas who had to climb up with difficulty...sorry. We took a rest in a tree cave and at the end of our walk I was so tired, Sally allowed me to ride.
Bye, yours Tiffy

Hallo Mummy,
today we wanted to make hostmum happy. So Claas and I started to clean up the carpet in the living room with the carpet-beater I brought along from Lichtenfels. Though Nick and Mademoiselle Poupoule cooperated after a short time, we worked for hours and hours...it was a very large carpet! When hostmum came back home she found the carpet clean and us totally exhausted 
By way of thanks we all got our favourite dishes: rolled oats for Claas, birdseed for Mademoiseele Poupoule, honey for Nick and mackerels for me! Delicious!!!
Yours Tiffy

Störte is back from London!!!
After an ardent embrace he showed me his souvenir. First I wondered what to do with it, but a few seconds later I got the answer... 
Mummy, understandably I have no more time to write now...good night, yours Tiffy

Dear Mom, yesterday the spring said "Hallo!", so Störte and I went out to say "Hallo!" to the spring.
Wow, what a blue sky!!! Uphills we drove by bike together with 16-year-old Sally. I showed Störte the snowdrops I had found together with Claas last week.
Then we took a rest on an old tree and basked in the sun...wonderful!
We discovered lots of spring flowers looking out of the ground.
Störte helped me to enter a bench on which we took a rest and basked in the sun again...
When we walked on, suddenly we heard a strange sound and saw a very strange creature. Störte said, it was a turkey, a BIRD! I couldn't believe!
Then we saw a house in the middle of a forest and a sign belonging to it: 'To the mausoleum'. I wondered whether it was a house for lots of mouses, but Störte explained that it was a house for dead people. Very very strange...and what a smart pirate!!! 
Best wishes, yours Tiffy

Mummy, you can't imagine what it means to be a pirate's girl-friend...
I had to say goodbye again, Störte started to a long long journey (three weeks) to Rome, the Baltic Sea and the North Sea.
Claas comforted me...it's good to have such a friend in these days...
Störte, come back soon!!!
I don't know whether I will sleep tonight...yours Tiffy
