I’m originally from Germany. I am a journalist, and travel quite frequently for my job. I still love travelling as a tourist, for which I usually use this app.

Music, Movies, and Books

Mainly memoirs and real-life stories. Christina Lamb is a great authour and journalist. Nothing can beat Leo Tolstoy. Any book on culture, the Middle East, women's right etc sounds great to me.

I enjoy playing and listening to music. Favorite Bands? The National, Metric, Kings of Convenience, Bon Iver, Mojave 3, Neil Halstead, Sigur Ros, Anchor and Braille, Feist, Coldplay etc.
