Long story short...
Born in the US, but grew up in Southern Bavaria in the midst of catholic and republican bavarian speaking simple people, breweries, small villages, historic cities, lakes, woods, castles and with an incredibly eclectic family that ranges from Egyptians, Indians, Africans, Phillippinos, Scots, Germans to Czech introducing me to all cultures, colors, religions and foods.
With dual citizenship in my pocket I decided to take the road to America for a while..8 years later I look back on 6+years living and working in Los Angeles. With a degree in Hospitality & Restaurant Management I spent many years working very hard to come closer to my goal to open my own restaurant.
Finding myself completely burned out and at a crossroad I decided I needed a life change and moved to San Francisco.
I quit smoking, changed my life-consuming job of 80-100 hours a week to 40 and after living alone for 6 years decided to have roommates.
Here I am. Not any closer to home but closer to a world I can relate to. Europeans, city life, restaurant culture, seasons..

We shall see where my road leads me to...for now I'm excited to explore a new city, getting back to having 'a life' outside of work, working out and meeting inspiring people.

Regrouping, living, exploring.

Working out, enjoying life, singing in a Oktoberfest band that guess what is called "Bayern Maiden".

Starting my own jewelry line.

And restaurants...of course...

spontaneous fun..Taboo and Romme!...camping (although it's been way too long since I've been)..throwing parties...whipping up spontaneous meals..taking photos..finding great places to live..having a good time where and whenever...
managing restaurants and people

handyman duties. while remodeling our hundred year old house I've laid tiles and hardwood floors, installed heaters, wired electrical outlets, dry walls, painting, concrete..my dad made sure we would do it all!- And during the renovation we found an actual canon ball!!

my accent, my style

I'm lousy in American literature- so don't expect to be discussing the classics of our time with me..I have however read Goethe, Schiller and so forth in German ;)

Movies.
Good Bye Lenin, Snatch, Pulp Fiction, The Lives of Others, The Edukators, Some Like It Hot, Vanilla Sky, Lost in Translation, B'yond Silence, Girl With The Dragon Tattoo..

Shows..?
Deep Purple at 15 was pretty sweet.
Erykah Badu's voice shook me to the core.
Eric Clapton was just fabulous.
Paul McCartney was a must see.
Tom Jones was hilarious.
Coldplay was beautiful.
Air in Las Vegas (L.A.-Vegas:I drove there just for the concert and back)
System of a Down taught me about metal heads. Interesting culture...

Music..?
My itunes is probably the wildest mix of music one can imagine...From German children stories (that I enjoy to listen to until this day ;)...to Oktoberfest classics and polka..to Beethoven & Mozart...Classic Rock..Funk..Rock'n'Roll..Patsy Cline..Edith Piaf..Buena Vista Social Club..Tango..Disco..Iron Maiden..
Air, MGMT, Arcade Fire, Radiohead, Nat King Cole, Class Actress, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Coldplay, Al Green, Black Keys, Amy Winehouse, Van Morrison, Tom Waits, Thievery Corporation, Sublime, Phoenix, Supertramp, Eagles, Beatles, The Shins, Stevie Wonder, Röysopp, She Wants Revenge, Lykke Li, Rush, Jurassic 5, Led Zeppelin, Jamiroquai, Johnny Cash, Groove Armada, Herbie Hancock, Janis Joplin, Etta James, Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Cake, Elvis, Band of Horses, Beach Boys, Billie Holiday.......
bottom line is I love all kinds of music!

music, friends, fun, camera, good food and drinks, family

why people nowadays like to get their entire bodies tattooed...(?) I prefer a plain body personally..

a stein-juggling German girl wearing a Dirndl.

I'm kind of a geek when it comes to my Bavarian heritage..in my household you will find Snuff, Bavarian mugs + steins, a songbook with Oktoberfest Hits, lots of aprons and blouses and basically anything related to the topic. So the man of my dreams cannot be afraid of being put in Lederhos'n and introduced to my favorite holiday: Oktoberfest!

At 15 I was a member of the voluntary fire department in my village.
Oh..and I owned a moped "Mofa" that I tuned myself so it would go way faster than allowed... ;)

you are reliable, fun, spontaneous, gracious, versatile, independent, worldly, generous, caring, smart..charming, old school, tolerant, flexible, non-jealous, drama-free, laid back..

you have style, good taste in music, like to travel outside of the 5-star-hotel-vacation. i'm talking backpacking, trains, no destination or plans..

you have a great living space. i want creative, mood-lighting, inviting, fun..something that reflects you, not necessarily the catalogue-apartment.

oh yes, I work nights- so my life happens at different hours and days than most people's.. (!)

and last, but not least..my man needs to be willing to pack up everything and come back to europe with me..one of these days..

you should NOT message me if
- you're one of those dudes calling themselves 'sex slaves' or similar: i'm clearly not interested in guys like you. thank you.

- you're allergic to cats.
