Storyteller on the Move

Meet Claudia and Walter, the dynamic duo proving that life truly begins at 55+. These "Storyteller on the Move" are globetrotting with purpose, turning every visited locale into the backdrop for their next gripping, short criminal tale. Forget complicated; this power couple, young in mind and straight to the point, live by the mantra that every problem has a solution – a philosophy honed through diverse international generalist careers. From their Swiss base camp near the Liechtenstein border, they blend work and wanderlust, all while keeping tabs on their combined eight children and soon-to-be thirteen grandchildren scattered across the globe. We'll craft "short and spicy" narratives, each around 1000 words, using AI to refine the details. But make no mistake: the heart of every story—the core ideas, the real-world locations, and the evocative pictures—come entirely from us.

People who know me understand that I love to challenge myself regularly in my free time. This summer, I'm spending time with Walter at his beautiful and relaxing B&B in Puglia, helping him with his guests. During our free moments, we came up with an exciting idea: to create stories together. These are "short and spicy" narratives, each around 1000 words, where we use AI to refine the details. But make no mistake: the heart of every story—the core ideas, the real-world locations, and the evocative pictures—come entirely from us.

We ended up writing eight stories, all of them a mixture of real events and fiction, except for one which is 100% true. Can you guess which one it is?
