Writing has always fascinated me ... simply to tell stories, but also as a form of reflection and processing of experiences on this wonderful (if sometimes quite confusing) world that I love to travel. If at all possible, I go to the big wide world at least once a year. And by the way, like Jorge Luis Borges, I somehow imagine paradise as a library (with lots of lovely people). After a few written exercises and editorial experiences, I moved more into the technical/academic field. Hence the numerous publications on political education, initially with Wochenschauverlag, from 2008 with Echter Verlag.
