Profile

Physicists and journalists have one thing in common: They search for answers—and sometimes for the right question, too. I’m curious. I want to know how the world works, what’s possible today and reality tomorrow. However, I also love talking (and singing!) and I am a full-blown radio nerd. So I ended up in front of a microphone one day.

I love music, fresh food and good cappuccino. And people who believe in what they do. People who are trying to make the world a better place every day—if only little by little. (Huge respect for those who actually succeed.) I enjoy meeting new people while traveling – because when I do, I learn more about the world and about myself, I get new perspectives. I always try to stay hungry for knowledge. The following is a summary of what I have learned so far.
