ABOUT ME

five foot two, filled with curiosity, I hit the road and left Germany in 2006 with the plan to work and travel for one year. After camping through the rainforests of Australia and New Zealand, couchsurfing & hitchhiking along the coasts of Eastern and Western Europe, eating my way through India and South East Asia and studying in Turkey and the Netherlands, I found myself six years later in Vancouver ready to explore the Pacific Northwest. My journey has always been inspired by the fascination for different cultures, human personalities and their stories. Working in photography and advertising taught me to visually communicate and manage projects that in the end tell some of these stories.

Currently on a journey through South America all the way from Colombia to Chile.

PHILOSOPHY
