Hello and thanks for checking into my Linkedin Profile. I've made my living as a travel journalist, editor and photographer for over 20 years and visited some 70 countries in the process. A citizen of Germany and the United States, I lived in Los Angeles for 20 years and now make my home in Berlin. I'm primarily a destination expert on Germany (especially Berlin) and the United Arab Emirates (especially Dubai) but also have extensive knowledge about Crete, California and various Caribbean Leeward Islands. I'm a quick study and need little time to immerse myself and find the authentic experience. My clients include some of the world's leading publishers and media organizations such as Lonely Planet, National Geographic, Michelin, USA Today, the BBC, The Independent, AFAR and the New York Post. I also have extensive experience in editing, travel and cultural consulting, and developing content for travel apps and working with tourist boards. Anyone interested in details, please scroll down to 'Experience' for a sampling of specific gigs and skills. An intrepid urban explorer and trend scout, I work hard on staying ahead of the curve when it comes to the latest in food, fashion, clubs, off-beat experiences, performance, cultural venues and social behavior. My bottomless curiosity, a fascination with all cultures and people, a keen sense of adventure and a solid general education are all helpful factors in getting the job done.
Listed skills include Journalism, Magazines, Publications, Travel Writing, and 43 others.
