About me
As editor-in-chief of Bayern Tourismus Marketing, I am responsible for the print title "Bayern. Das Magazin" as well as the websites erlebe.bayern and bavaria.travel.
Since 2021 I've also been running the travel webazine and content creator collective trpstr.de with six friends.
Before that, I was editor-in-chief of Germany's most important travel magazine ABENTEUER UND REISEN for more than ten years, until it was closed due to the coronavirus.
