Cities

I lived in many cities and countries, worked at many places and made friends with people from different backgrounds and cultures. It was always an adventure, but also a pleasure, sometimes challenging, but always rewarding.

I tried to understand the cities where I lived, the places where I worked and the people I met. I am still trying to stay in touch and follow what is happening at the places where I spent part of my life. For most of “my cities” I continue collecting inspiring news and information.
