Work with me
Based in Bremen, Germany, I'm a full-time Film and Travel Blogger, Tourism Marketing Translator and Proofreader on a part-time mission to discover the world through movies.
About the blog
FilmFanTravel.com is a Niche Travel Blog. As a Film and Travel Blogger, I provide film reviews for contemporary films and series from the year 2000 onwards and help film fans to plan their trips to destinations that became famous for their film locations or film settings worldwide.
My professional background
Thanks to 13 years of international work experience in professional translation, editing and journalistic writing, I create engaging and inspiring content that speaks to the native audience and thus converts to new sales and visits.
From 2006 to 2009, I studied the translation studies program "Multilingual Communication" at the TH Köln in Cologne, Germany. I completed this program with a Bachelor of Arts degree.
The title of my Bachelor thesis was: Using Britain’s multicultural heritage to promote city tourism in London – A critical analysis of tourism marketing activities
From 2019 to 2020, I studied “Tourism Destination Development” at the University of Dalarna, Sweden and achieved a Master of Science degree.
For my Master thesis, I specialized in ancestral tourism. The title of my Master thesis was: Memorable experiences in ancestral tourism: The case of North American visitors in Germany

- As a Film and Travel Blogger: Promotional Travel Review Posts on my blog (destinations, activities, guided tours, hotels, restaurants, products and services)
