CURRENT MISSION To discover... ABOUT ME Being a discoverer, I'm always in search for interesting people, places and challenges. Originally coming from Germany I'm pretty often changing my professions and the places to stay. So I spent a part of my school time in Italy, lived as an artist in France, wrote a book traveling around in North America, worked as an architect on the lovely island La Réunion and as a consultant in Turkey and in the tiny Kingdom of Bahrain. After two years in the Middle East I did then move to Spain in order to do a PhD about the interfaces between architecture and tourism. But what can I say, I do have ants in my pants and China is for sure a very interesting place for modern architecture. Hence, after six month learning Chinese in Beijing, I moved for 18 month to China's south, teaching at the university, doing research and enjoying life :-). Yet, as we say in Germany, "Alles hat ein Ende, nur die Wurst hat zwei". Hence, I am back home again, working as a Professor of Tourism Management in the beautiful city of Munich. PHILOSOPHY To live great moment's, whenever it is possible and never give up on my dreams.
