Based in World
As a travel writer and editor based in Berlin, I've spent years escaping the confines of performance indicators and business plans to pursue my passion: uncovering the hidden gems of Europe. My journey began with experiencing Germany as a "Gastarbeiterin," which ignited a lifelong fascination with diverse cultures and unconventional destinations. Geography isn't just a subject I studied; it's a lens through which I view the world. Whether it's poring over railway timetables or exploring remote island communities, I find joy in the details that others might overlook. My work with hidden europe magazine and as the lead author of "Europe by Rail: The Definitive Guide" reflects my commitment to slow travel and immersive experiences. I'm particularly drawn to the intersection of culture, identity, and place, especially in Eastern Europe and the Balkans. Linguistic minorities, border regions, and the spirit of undiscovered locales fuel my writing. You'll often find me meandering through Europe by public transport, always seeking out the unsung corners of the continent. My articles have appeared in various European media outlets, translated into multiple languages, allowing me to share my unique perspective with a broad audience. If you're seeking authentic, off-the-beaten-path adventures, I'm here to guide you.
