Bio

1983-2005 -- A little village near Cologne (D) Great place to grow up: Green, idyllic, and quiet. 2005-10 -- Münster (D) / Tours (F) 6 great years of studying English, French and Spanish literature and linguistics in the sweet little towns of Münster (Germany) and Tours (right in the middle of France). 2011-14 -- Barcelona (E) What started as a short-stay-to-improve-my-Spanish went on for some years, understandable for everyone who has had the chance to visit. 2014-16 -- London (UK) An amazing, lovely, buzzing, varied, green, multicultural place. And sometimes quite sunny as well. 2016-*** Barcelona (E) again. Living so close to the sea is just difficult to top.

I'm passionate about

Languages, linguistics, literature and culture. But especially words. I love meeting people from all over the world telling their stories. These are what makes TED so inspiring.
