About this blog

Who writes here?

I work as a freelance journalist, sometimes with data and a coding console, other times with a camera and a notepad. For public broadcaster MDR (click for my articles) and Süddeutsche Zeitung, I focus on data-driven stories. For Stern Magazine, I travel abroad as a reporter.

From 2021 to 2023, I worked full time for Süddeutsche Zeitung, one of Germany’s leading newspapers.

What is this blog about?

This blog is my personal passion—a platform for stories about travel. The German title „Fernweh nach Welt“ is hard to translate, but it conveys a sense of wanderlust or longing for the world. Most of the articles here are in German, though you’ll also find plenty of pictures and occasionally some content in English.
