My very first journalistic work was in school — I wrote an essay about gourmet criticism when I was fourteen and received the highest grade. It was the moment I realized that writing and food could belong together.
Later, I reported behind the scenes of the Bambi Awards for Burda, where I discovered how storytelling and atmosphere shape how we experience events. Both moments stayed with me: curiosity first, precision second.

Social media has turned news into a constant stream — faster, louder, shorter. It rewards emotion over reflection and speed over depth. But it also gave independent creators like me a direct voice. The challenge is to stay human in the noise, to cook and think before posting.
