Introduction

Born into a family of travelers, I've circled the globe many times, and been fortunate to call many beautiful places my home. Growing up in Ettlingen, a small German town, nestled in the foothills of the Black Forest, I left at the age of 19, to pursue screenwriting in Los Angeles. A graduate of UCLA Film school, and the American Film Institute, I now apply my storytelling skills as a travel writer, dividing my time between Europe, and the U.S.
