Even as a child, I stubbornly refused to go anywhere near the likes of youth hostels and campsites. Travelling for me has always meant fabulous hotels – so I’m unashamedly fond of being on the road for Escapio. I’ve had many good times in France and Italy and my favourite places include New York, Mallorca and the Middle East. Since the arrival of my twin daughters (now 8), I’ve been gathering an abundance of experiences along the lines of "travelling with kids". I live with my family in Berlin, I love cooking, Powershopping and good literature.
