Born and raised in Heidelberg and nearby Schwetzingen I have always had a passion for my beautiful hometown and the region of Kurpfalz. Having travelled the world and lived abroad in Asia for many years, I understand what you are looking for when you travel: a genuine experience of the places you visit and I am thrilled to share my Heidelberg with you! I can show you around the city and its magnificent castle, as well as the hidden gem the garden of the summer residence of the princes in Schwetzingen. Moreover, I would love to share the enchanting stories and fairy tales my grandmother used to tell me when I was a child. My background is in art history and archaeology and I can give you a fascinating and detailed insight into the rich history of the region, should you wish to delve deeper. And that's not all - alongside arts and culture, I am also passionate about food and wine, as I am a food critic and writer. So, if you think Germany is only about beer and sausages, get ready to be pleasantly surprised! no restrictions
