Fragezeichen Your dream job as a child?

I wanted to dance around the world on ballet shoes and later have my own ballet school.

Fragezeichen The most interesting part of your job?

The variety! There are always new projects, new journeys or events, new consumers and new situations to adjust to. This is both, a challenge and a great experience!

Fragezeichen The item that is always traveling with you?

It depends on the kind of trip. On business trips I need a mobile phone, a calendar and gummi bears for the colleagues. On vacation I bring my favourite flip flops or - in winter - fluffy socks. In both cases I won't leave without a good book and a camera.

Fragezeichen Your first vacation without your parents?

I went to Lake Garda (Italy) with a friend. Italian men, delicious food, our own apartment - it was a lot of fun. Until the cash card was gone. That was the quick end of the first vacation without our parents.
