I am a passionate emotional intelligence transformer - a passionate gardener who cares for the ever young plants called change and innovation. May I introduce myself? I am a German citizen with 25+ years of award-winning expertise in the tourism, cruise line, and hospitality industry.

I am a hospitality advisor and accredited tourism lead auditor and auditor trainer (TUV Certification Body). Besides, I am an artist, interior designer, and writer. Above that all, I am a community person and I love to engage with others and learn more about other people anywhere in the world. Sorry for the long post, my life is very adventurous :)

I studied economics with a focus on marketing and then moved for hospitality management studies to London. I was always very passionate about art and design. Thus afterward, I studied interior design and color psychology in Vienna. Based on my studies, I developed the so-called "ethics emotion synapse system - EESS" - connecting the ethics of a product with the philosophy, services, design. Thus creating a true and authentic multi-sensual experience that reflects the brand or product ethics emotionally.

I started my career in the hospitality- and cruise industry and later on I developed hotel- and retail projects globally. From vision to design, service- and product concepts, as well as pre-opening and operation. I had the pleasure to co-create one of the first fully sustainable nature resort's in the world in a national conservation park in the middle of the desert.

After a long life in the hospitality and design industry, I felt I lost myself and my creativity and needed to change my life completely.

Together with @oneofsteem we sold our house and most of our private possessions. We founded and financed with this money a foundation that cared for victims of family/domestic violence (mothers with children) and offered shelter, therapies, and guidance. Besides, we created micro job offers and an education program to support a self-sufficient life of the victims.

Besides, I created several organic cosmetic series and hotel spa concepts based on herbs, color therapy, and holistic healing. Coming from a family that is deeply rooted in cosmetics and health industry since 1882, I always wanted to create organic and holistic cosmetic recipes. I never wanted my products to be successful in a commercial way. To my surprise, I won several international awards (sectors: hospitality, tourism, marketing, cosmetics) for some inventions. As a result, I shared my holistic remedies and cosmetics recipes publicly, free to be used by everybody.

I had the pleasure to work with many renowned designers worldwide on several design projects. I am very passionate about organic design forms, thus I love to observe nature closely.

Today I support sustainable tourism projects (online and offline) and related startups with my 25+ years of knowledge, that have the potential to unite people from all over the world. Furthermore, as an accredited auditor (TUV Certification Body) and environmental expert within the cruise industry, I am committed to fight for a drastic reduction of environmental emissions and support the development of new technologies that will stop marine pollution and stop the use of fossil fuels. This is not always that easy, as this also means regularly questioning or even disproving the statements of various lobbyist groups.

And, I have been into professional ballroom-dancing quite some time. I love Steem & Crypto, the Barbarella Show (I am Co-Host with my friend @ravijojla), our @welcomewagon project created by my friend @dreemsteem, philosophy, the sea, traveling and all sorts of cool vintage stuff.
