ABOUT ME

I wanted to be a scientist when I was little. Then I switch to become a journalist. I went to China in 2002 to learn Chinese for one year. Then I stayed in Beijing till the end of 2013.
I worked in Asia as a correspondent for press and radio. Now I switch again and I am back in Europe. At the moment, I work in Portugal as an editor for a publishing house. I love books.
I am curious, I love new projects and I insist a lot on my dreams.
I love community projects and that's how I first became a member of couchsurfing in 2006.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Twelve years living in Asia was an amazing experience.
Some strange places - the DMZ line between the two Koreas. I was on the North side looking south. There is a yellow line border on the floor separating them for more than 50 years.
Really amazing - The Yamdrok Lake in Tibet, the long walks in tea fields in Yunnan (South China) and the bike rides in Laos, the visit to great Angkor in Cambodja. Skydiving in New Zealand... kayak in so many different places
