Learn how this journalist turned to a life of fashion, lifestyle and travel into full time career. See the destinations he loves, what types of cuisine he enjoys and where he is headed next!
How did your passion for travel get started?
I always loved traveling even though I didn’t travel so much when I was a child. For my family it was not so easy to afford holidays with four children. In the beginning I mostly traveled within Bavaria and did my longest trip through Europe when I was 17. During this trip I realized that I really want to travel my entire life which is still my plan.
How many days/weeks are you traveling in any given year? What are the types of places do you like to visit?
I would say that I’m traveling around 1/3 of the year. Nature, mountains, beaches and of course cities just make me happy.
What is it that you want audiences to gain/ learn from your articles and fashion style?
To me it’s important to add value to my stories so that readers really feel and explore the same moments as I did. The most amazing part of my job is to share my passion with others. No matter if it’s related to fashion, good food, design, art or literature, my blog is a platform to connect with others.
