About me
About me
I grew up in a very idyllic small town in the north of Hesse (middle-west Germany). At 18 I moved to Wiesbaden (the capital of Hesse in the south) and since 2007 I've been living and working in Frankfurt.
I am a digital marketing manager for a French company and I'm happy to be back as a Spotter after my 1-year sabbatical in the US.
Why Frankfurt?
Because it's a highly underestimated city. It has the reputation that you won't find anything else apart from banks, people in suits and overpriced restaurants & flats. But Frankfurt is more. Out of 197 nationalities on Earth, 177 have found a home in Frankfurt; at every corner you hear people speaking English, Spanish, Chinese as well as our soft and charming local dialect "hessisch". We have one of the biggest airports in Europe, international & English theaters and the European Central Bank is located in the eastern part of the city. As you can see it's a very international city and that makes it (at least in Germany) kind of unique -- if you consider the population of only 700.000. It's "the smallest metropolis in the world", as we locals proudly call our hometown.
My spots (19)
Picknick Cafe
The new talk of the town
"Picknick Cafe" Frankfurt is one of my top choices when I'm fed up with ordinary food. From falafel to couscous, there's something for every appetite here.

Edeltrödel
Backyard kitsch, house of treasures
"Edeltrödel" is an antique shop in Frankfurt. It's a mess & you can never find anything specific here, but that's what makes this design shop special.

Friedberger Markt
The single & friendship market
"Friedberger Markt" Frankfurt, the 'Friedi' as we call it, is probably the biggest after-work open-air event in town. A glass of 'Riesling' is all I need.

Cafe Metropol
Dinner or a coffee after art
"Cafe Metropol" in Frankfurt is close to 'Schirn Kunsthalle'. It's not one of these super-stylish cafes, but rather a nice place to linger and read a book.

Brot und Butter
Delicious cakes & breads
"Brot und Butter" Frankfurt is a great place to combine Saturday afternoon shopping with a coffee and cake. I recommend you check out Manufactum shop...
