Whenever I come back to Germany, my home country, I love to explore and discover new things – as a native, but also as a traveler.

On this website, I'll give you plenty of information on all the traditional destinations and sights in Germany. But I'll also share with you treasures off the beaten path that you won't find in a guidebook. I want to inspire you to discover many different sides of Germany and to find your own favorite places.
