Hi guys!

I live and work in Berlin, more precisely in Friedshain, the place to be 😅 (if you like concerts, clubs & independent small stores). I travel as often as I can, because I'm curious and like to broaden my horizon.

fun facts:
I used to work as a bartender in a huge music club as a teenager (from 13 to 17). I am an artist and at the same time not - studied twice (finished both studies - marketing & economics and art & communication design) & ended up as an Manager what I‘ve never planned to be. I don't like to eat chocolate, but I like to eat everything with chocolate (brownie, cake, cookies). I rarely eat meat, but if I do, it's a decent steak. I am a late riser, but like to experience a lot. I usually drink little alcohol, but if only schnapps (and Aperol) - beer & wine not at all (yes, I am German, I know). The Covid lockdowns in 2020 made me discover my love for bright colours (before I used to wear black) and I coloured my hair in rainbow colours. I almost fulfilled all my childhood dreams… but there‘s at least one big dream left.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent 2 months in the wilderness of the Okavango Delta in 2021. Now I am a certified Nature/Safari Guide and Back-up Trails Guide.

Teach, Learn, Share

I always love to learn new things, take new perspectives and travel to new countries to experience new ways of life, new cultures and different kind of natural areas. Since you never have enough time for that in your day-to-day job, I'm taking a 5-month sabbatical starting in June 2022. The trip will start at the university of Perugia in Italy, as I've always wanted to speak Italian.... and will take me to the Peruvian Amazonian rainforest afterwards where I will volunteer in a biological research project. After that I travel to different groups of islands in the South Seas, e.g. French Polynesia.
