I studied Political Sciences at Bonn University and worked as a journalist part time since college. I love to travel off the beaten track, meet new people and experience other cultures and customs.

In Berlin I work for Germany´s largest cultural foundation comprising of several museums, libraries and research institutions.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I guess it’s kinda difficult to name one amazing thing you have done – some people out there are saving lives every day: Maybe one small thing which had a long lasting and still ongoing benefit for many. In my hometown was an old and neglected British style phone booth. Together with a friend I cleaned the booth, repainted it and had the broken windows removed. With assistance we managed to built-in wooden bookshelves and even a tiny reading table and transformed the useless phone booth into a tiny public library open 24/7. We got loads of book donations, volunteers stocking up and people started to exchange books frequently.
