About me
About me
My work as a Management Consultant in the field of international development brings me to many foreign countries. But even before I chose this career path, I was fortunate enough to travel & explore the world extensively. I love trying funky new food, learning new skills and getting out of my comfort zone. It's people that make a difference, so meeting new people and asking about their opinions and views on life and politics is another one of my passions.
Why Frankfurt
Frankfurt is an underrated gem - and so much more than the financial hub with skyscrapers and its riversides. Taking a turn from the bustling main streets always brings surprises: a hidden wine bar, a silent monastery, a huge park. I love the big-city-life-feeling that Frankfurt gives me when I walk its streets, while still offering me cute cafes and down-to-earth bars. Over the last 10 years, many new districts and places have emerged, while still embracing the traditional Hessian spots - I'm excited to see how it evolves further!

Cinéma
Arthouse movie theater
"Cinema" in Frankfurt is a hidden French cinema located at the end of a downtown passageway. It makes me wonder why large-scale cinemas are still a thing.

Moloko+
Back to the '70s bar
"Moloko+" Frankfurt is not only a trip back to the '70s in terms of decoration, but it also reminds me of Berlin -- a style I couldn't find anywhere else.

Israeli food terrace all day

Roseli
Vegan cakes & veggie delights
"Roseli" is a wonderful example for well-executed vegan & vegetarian dishes in Frankfurt. How about some beetroot carpaccio with grilled haloumi & spinach?
