"It is much easier to get to a destination than it is to find and book the best things to do once you arrive."
This core philosophy has driven his career since 1984. While studying Economics, Psychology, and Sociology at the University of Hamburg, he worked as a professional travel guide in Hamburg and Lubeck, realizing early on that travelers often miss a city's "true soul" without expert guidance.

Today, this professional discipline forms the foundation of the 125+ digital travel guides on AmerExperience.com.
