Our story

How did two brothers born into a British Army family stationed in Germany end up living in a remote Spanish village? Well it's a long story... so here's a short-ish version. We were born in Germany in 1960 and 1961 to British/Danish parents. Throughout our early childhood we lived in Germany, Malta, England and spent most of our teens and early 20s in Copenhagen, Denmark. Always close, we parted ways several times when Peter worked for extended periods in Mexico, England and Greenland while Carl spent most of his early adult life in Denmark working and raising a family.

We both started off on promising careers in Scandinavian IT and media corporations, including Ericsson and Egmont, but in our early 30s we left the corporate world and opened a bar in Copenhagen which in turn opened up new doors (mostly cellar doors) to a fun, but less promising career in stand-up comedy, TV gameshows and radio. From 1999 Peter based himself in Barcelona, Spain where he worked in start-ups and founded a language school. In 2011 he was joined by Carl who said goodbye forever to Denmark's cold, dark winters and from 2012 they joined forces again to open a small but highly acclaimed private tour company. SInce then they have taken guests from Barcelona to wonderful destinations all over the Catalonia region of Spain, Andorra and the South of France.

We created the Stepbac method and habit control book series back in 2014 in Barcelona. We wanted to stay active and healthy into late middle and older age and we found that having better awareness and control of tiny habits helped keep a much better and more natural balance of health and happiness.

While developing Stepbac we also found out that many people’s health is being messed up by many tiny, unnatural daily habits, that often can be linked to products and trends that promise happiness but deliver misery and health problems. Stepbac brought us back on a pretty simple and natural path to the joy of living. with happiness and health apleny - and we'd really love to share this simple way to control of habits, health and happiness.
