I'm a German freelance journalist living and working in Cape Town, South Africa. I live in a beautiful little purple house in Bokaap, an area that is right next to the inner city.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have been away from home for over 5 years now. Travel always reminds me of how much we depend on the kindness of random strangers. People have been incredibly generous with me and I want to give back! Also, meeting locals and living with them allows you to see a place through their eyes and make your experience so much deeper.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was working in China for a while and created a quirky travel show that ended up on Sky Europe. We discovered quite a bit Off The Beaten Track aspects of China, which is why that's the name of the show: https://vimeo.com/album/1997179
