About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"Don't wait until the storm is over. Learn to dance in the rain."

ABOUT ME

In 2008, I returned from working 3-years in Uganda, where I met and learned the great african Hospitality. Back in Germany, stayig in the city-center of Frankfurt now, I quite miss the international spirit and "community-life", so why not inviting the world to Frankfurt?...

Since then I have made travelling also my work. I am in charge of Education projects in Africa for the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit. (german development cooperation)

PHILOSOPHY

one big, colourful "World- Family"

Teach, Learn, Share

"You must give birth to your images. They are the future waiting to be born.
Fear not the strangeness you feel. The future must enter you long before it happens.
Just wait for the birth, for the the hour of the new clarity."

Rainer Maria Rilke
