Since the early nineties I have visited numerous countries for the sake of the teddy. In many of those places the teddy was a pretty new phenomenon. In the meantime I have shared all my tricks of the trade with enthusiastic bear lovers and I got to learn many new friends in return. Teddies brought me to the most beautiful spots in the world and I owe them a lot.

Of course I'd like to meet you in person one day, but enjoy my bears in the gallery for the time being.

Till then, cheerio,
