As many here I like traveling and meeting people with a human-friendly mindset. I think I'm neither extremely extroverted nor introverted. I like hikes and nature but also love to dive into books and visit cultural events like theater plays, art exhibitions etc. Two of my friends and I .... we founded a tiny publishing house for authors that have not released their first novel yet.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sitting in Cihangir (Istanbul) with a friend ... staring at the Bosporus ferries to my feet while having a late beer after a long night of arabesque concerts, chats and party.

Smoking in the back of a cab on the Galata bridge after finishing a fresh "Balik Ekmek" in Eminönü, Istanbul. It's unbelievably hot in summer and the orchestral city noize is mesmerizing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am quite okay in writing (German) and have some super serious business skills (brand, business case ... bli bla blub). It may sound boring but it's true.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Some thoughts and a cup of tea / normally a glass of beer but I don't drink alcohol at the moment.

Countries I’ve Lived In

Germany, Turkey
