My Profile
Otto Schaechtele
As a German‑Australian, I have lived in Perth for more than 33 years and feel deeply at home in this vibrant, remote metropolis. After years of success developing electromedical devices as an independent M.Sc. Biomedical Engineering in Germany, I emigrated to Australia in 1991, where new opportunities quickly unfolded. Scientific expeditions into Australia’s deserts and bushlands drew me into tourism and sparked a lasting passion for discovery.
Since then, I have travelled the continent countless times—on both accessible and remote routes—and earned a Bachelor of Arts in Tourism. Australia’s vast landscapes, unique flora and fauna, and hidden gems offer profound encounters with nature that touch the soul.
Whether on iconic routes or secluded paths, I guide travellers to places where mind and spirit find balance again—crafting unforgettable journeys with an eye for detail and a passion for the extraordinary.
