I was born in Válor, a picturesque village in La Alpujarra, into a German-Spanish family of artists. I am a professional mountaineer with certifications such as Medium Mountain Guide (IML), Medium Mountain Sports Technician (TDI) and Official Tourist Guide.

At the age of 18 I moved to Berlin, where I lived for a year before studying Cultural Anthropology and History at the University of Göttingen. During this period I did an internship in Bogotá and several backpacking trips in Colombia and South America, which broadened my cultural and personal perspective.

Finally, I returned to my roots in Válor, where I started my career as a hiking and sightseeing guide. For five years now, I have passionately shared the natural beauty and cultural richness of this region with visitors from all over the world.

My interests span ethnobotany, geology, biology, history, and local culture. I deeply enjoy observing the flora, fauna and landscape during each route. I will be happy to welcome you to my land and guide you through the wonders of Andalusia.
