CURRENT MISSION

Creating a home base in Cologne while still trying new things, making wonderful connections and enjoying life to the fullest next to the so called 9-5.

ABOUT ME

I caught the travel bug in 2009 and am happily infected ever since.

What I love most about travelling is how it connects people from all over the world. I believe, that you can learn something from every single person you meet in life. Given the fact that people are so diverse and unique, so are their stories. They may tell you about their home, share a travel anecdote, recommend a good book, show you new music, inspire you or give you a piece of advice for life. They may even become very good friends. And that's what makes travel so special to me.

Apart from cultural exchange and catching up with friends, I also love the outdoors. It's a beautiful diverse world we live in and therefore, I'm always up for some exploring, camping, hiking and spontaneous adventures.

All in all, I'm just trying to enjoy my life as much as I can.
