About me

For me, travelling means more than simply getting from A to B.

I don’t just show you the world; I tell its stories. Thirty-eight years as a tour guide. Countless countries. Thousands of encounters. And still, the same passion: inspiring people about the world. For me, guiding is about more than just dates, names, and landmarks. I want to tell the story behind the story, make connections clear, and show you places others might simply walk past. My knowledge comes not only from books but from nearly four decades of life on the road. What began as guidebook information has evolved into lived experience. Of course, I will show you the major sights. But often, the most fascinating story begins just around the corner—at a market, in a small neighborhood, at a special viewpoint, or during an encounter that isn't listed in any itinerary. And if things don’t go exactly according to plan? That’s where 38 years of experience, a knack for improvisation, and—above all—calmness come into play. I handle the details; you simply enjoy your journey. What drives me after all these years is curiosity. I am still discovering new paths, seeking out stories, and striving to understand what truly defines a place and its people. Because, in the end, I want you to do more than just see a country. I want you to take a piece of it home with you.
