About me
I was born in Hamburg and like all Hamburgers, I am very proud of my “perl“. During high school and university, I lived in the U.S. and in Spain and during these times I’ve met many great people from all over the world. I love visiting them to explore their countries from their local perspective and I would love to give you the same experience in Hamburg and share all my favorite places with you!
Whenever I travel to new places, I’m on the hunt for the hidden treasures only locals know of. Cute cafés, special bars, restaurants with delicious local food, cool clubs or simply spots that aren’t listed in a guide.
Apart from travelling, I love vernissages, picnics, soap bubbles, cooking, small concerts and street music, dandelions, endless discussions about anything in the world, working on creative projects, strawberries, rainbows and watching plays in the theatre.
Why Hamburg?
For me, Hamburg is the perfect combination of maritime, traditional parts and alternative, cosmopolitan, hipster and international influences. We have really urban areas like the Sternschanze or St. Pauli and almost countryside-like, peaceful areas around the outer Alster – within a couple of minutes, you can skip between worlds. Plus, the illuminated harbor by night is just incredibly beautiful, I fall in love with it every single time.
Even after living in this city for so many years, there are always new hidden places to discover, so it never gets boring.
Where can you find me online?
"Mikkels" in Hamburg is a cute little cafe. I immediately fell in love with its adorable interior and all the little details. Get lost in cake paradise!

"Tauschhaus" in Hamburg (exchange house) is THE PLACE to get rid of everything you don't need but someone else might still enjoy! Great neighborhood spot.

"Baakenpark" in Hamburg is in HafenCity one of the biggest architectural projects in Europe. This recreation area is one of the new gems being formed...

"Mexiko Strasse Taquería" in Hamburg really reminds me of the food I had next to the Mexican border. Their tacos aren't the same you'll find everywhere...

The "Thalia Theater" in Hamburg offers progressive plays as well as lectures, concerts and other projects, including an international café. Great art hub.

"Oberhafenkantine" is a true Hamburg original. It's the only harbor canteen still working. But it's not just the unique feel - I also really love its food!

"Public Coffee Roasters" in Hamburg sees their coffee as an artform. They have their roasting facility on a boat on the Elbe, and then comes the latte art.

"Kraftwerk Bille" is one of Hamburg's oldest power plants fully restored and converted into a beautiful setting for artistic projects w/ an excellent cafe!
