About me
Based in Hamburg, I work as a freelance in the fields of communication and journalism. With a flair for cultural storytelling and urban exploration, I have a passion for uncovering the hidden gems of cities rather than frequenting chain establishments. I am particularly interested in following young, innovative chefs who are reshaping the culinary scene in cities.
Hamburg is a metropolis that feels like a village where everyone knows each other. It's a place where creative minds meet, boldly pursuing their own unique projects. The city's Nordic flair offers a cozy atmosphere, yet it's charged with the energy and ambition of the numerous businesses and entrepreneurs that thrive here.
From houseboats on the serene Elbe to the cutting-edge architecture of the HafenCity, Hamburg provides a distinctive blend of tradition and modern urban life. It's a melting pot of cultures and styles, offering something for every taste and interest. Here, water meets urbanity, the old blends with the new, and everywhere you go, you can feel the pulsating energy of the city.
