Living and working in multiple countries has given me a unique perspective on life. From Düsseldorf to London, I've learned that finding balance—whether in work, fitness, or relationships—isn't just about managing time; it's about understanding priorities and embracing diverse influences.
One lesson I've carried with me from my travels is the power of small habits. Walking along the Rhine in both my hometown Basel as well as my current habitat Düsseldorf taught me the joy of appreciating nature during my daily fitness routine. In London, the fast-paced environment inspired me to seek out Barre classes that combine strength, grace, and mindfulness—helping me stay grounded amidst the chaos.
These habits reflect my broader approach to life: embracing structure but leaving room for flexibility. It's a mindset that works just as well in managing complex projects as it does in maintaining a healthy, balanced lifestyle.
Being fluent in multiple languages and immersed in different cultures has also shaped how I connect with people. Whether I’m collaborating with colleagues or planning a family visit or randomly chat up some new friends in Lisbon, Paris, Brussels, Copenhagen, Stockholm or Rome; I’ve found that empathy and curiosity bridge even the widest gaps.
Ultimately, an international lifestyle isn't about always being on the move—it's about integrating what I've learned from each experience into my daily routine. From meals inspired by vegan cafés in Paris to moments of reflection on quiet walks, I’m constantly weaving these influences into my life.
