Jochen is a food journalist and a tour guide who came to Berlin as a young student and immediately fell in love with the city’s glamour and mayhem. He studied Art History and Philosophy in Berlin and Rome, and earned a degree at Hamburg Journalism School. He has written for history and food magazines and published a book on sea rescuing, a subject dear to his heart.

As a passionate flaneur, Jochen has worked as a tour guide in numerous countries around the world. His favorite spots in Berlin change according to the season: in spring, it’s the luscious flowerbeds of Tiergarten park; in summer, it’s the Spree riverbanks; in fall, it’s the flea market outside Schöneberg city hall, and when it’s cold outside, he seeks shelter in the warm and splendid halls of Museum Island.
